Though the Sonam Kapoor-Dhanush starrer is minting good money at the box office in India and overseas, the romcom cannot be shown across the border, banned by the Pakistani Central Board of Film Censors. Why?
This isnt the first time that the Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC) of Pakistan has banned the release of a Bollywood movie in their country for anti-Pakistan sentiments some recent examples include Salman Khans Ek Tha Tiger and Saif Ali Khans Agent Vinod. Now Aanand L Rais romcom Raanjhanaa has been disallowed for screening by the Pakistani CBFC shortly before its scheduled release.
Amjad Rasheed, CEO of IMGC Global Entertainment and the importer of Raanjhanaa told a newspaper that he received a letter from CBFC demanding that he shelve the films release. The letter states that Raanjhanaa portrays an inapt image of a Muslim girl (Sonam Kapoor) falling in love with a Hindu boy (Dhanush) and having an affair with him.
Aanand Rais love triangle was scheduled to release in Pakistan during the last week of June. And they say art shouldnt be restricted to any limitations or boundaries!
