7 Most Controversial Films of Bollywood

1) Madras Café (2013)

This John Abraham – Nargis Fakhri starrer movie ran into controversies much before it released. Political parties from Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka sought for a ban on the film because it portrayed them in poor light.

2) Fanaa (2006) 

Now this one’s a great example of how a public figure should always tread carefully. While the film itself did not have any controversial content, political parties in Gujarat burnt effigies of Aamir Khan and unofficially banned the film after Khan expressed his concern for the Narmada Dam issue.

3) My Name Is Khan (2010)

A prominent party (no prizes for guessing) in Maharashtra attacked cinema halls when Shahrukh Khan made a comment about Pakistani players not playing in the IPL.

4) Bandit Queen (1994)

This internationally acclaimed biopic based on Dacoit Phoolan Devi’s life was banned in India by the Censor Board because of excessive nudity. When it finally released, the film bagged 3 National Awards.

5) Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

According to the Rajputs, Jodha was actually married to Akbar’s son Salim and hence they had blocked the screening in Rajasthan.

6) Sins (2005) 

This was a film which covered the sexual escapades of Catholic priests. Shiney Ahuja played the lead role and had his first taste of controversy with this film. What happened in the later years is not so-Shiney at all.

7) Wake Up Sid (2009)

Even a beautiful film like Wake Up Sid could not stay out of controversy’s way. The same political party banned the film because the word ‘Bombay’ was used instead of Mumbai!

If only people supported the art, rather than creating controversy around it, we’d get to see much better films!
