Indian film banned in Pakistan because it shows a Muslim girl falling in love with a Hindu man

Bollywood movie Raanjhanaa has been banned by the Central Board of Film Censors in Pakistan because of its ‘controversial plot’.

The censors in Pakistan banned the film shortly before its scheduled release, Chief Executive Officer of IMGC Global Entertainment Amjad Rasheed, the importer of the film said.



Rasheed said that he received a letter from CBFC with directives to shelve the film's release.

"The letter from CBFC states that the film portrays an inapt image of a Muslim girl falling in love with a Hindu man and having an affair with him," Rasheed said. The film was scheduled to be released during the last week of June.

I bet that if the ending involved the guy converting to Islam at the end, it would be a different story.
