Akshay Kumar's 'Baby' banned in Pakistan

[root]

As largely expected, Akshay Kumar starrer Baby will not be seeing the light of day in Pakistan as the censor board of Islamabad and Karachi decided not to screen the film owing to its controversial content.

A representative of the film's distributor, Everready Pictures informed Dawn that the film has been banned in Pakistan.

“Censor boards in Islamabad and Karachi have decided to ban the film because it portrays a negative image of Muslims and the negative characters in the film also have Muslim names. CDs and DVDs of the film have also been banned in Islamabad. The company has taken a similar stance on this issue and will not go-ahead with its release.”
Fakhr-e-Alam, who is the Chairman of the Censor Board also tweeted about the board's decision:

Just censored the film BABY. A poor propoganda film basically saying all muslims r terrorists & Pakistan harbors them.Disappointed.BANNED it

They should also ban Pakistanis coming to India and spread their 'culture'

what's wrong with this Subhash Chandra opening a exclusive channel for pakistani shows depicting a regressive shitty medieval life style and anti indian content like cross cousin marriages.

All Indian movies in cinemas should be banned, only pirated CDs should be allowed.

Pakistan even today is not a big market for Bollywood because of very limited numbers of cinemas(only 60-70) but i have read in a report that more than 150 cinemas across Pakistan are under construction.

What Nonsense! Instead of making some monet for the pak distributors, now all Pakistanis will watch pirated version. Movie will be even more popular because of this.

Also by same logic India should have allowed waar movie to be aired in their cinema.No propaganda movie will be allowed in Pakistan you should understand it clearly.

The irony is that negative characters in lollywood releases will or have muslim names too.

 

[Ray_of_Hope]

Good move.Hey Indians.Why some butt hurt now.Forgot all the reports that ur media had prepared against WAAR(movie) describing it to be a pile of lies and propaganda against india.We will ban what is against pakistan.Point

There is a difference
waar won't find audience in India and thus would be a loss for distributors
The same can't be said about Baby

But I don't have any problem with Pakistan censoring Baby.....ur country ur rules
