7 Indian Movies That Were Too Hot For The Censor Board To Handle

Let’s take a look at some of the most critically acclaimed works which were stalled by the Censor Board of India.

1) Kamasutra

This masterpiece by Mira Nair received great critical acclaim all over but sadly, was halted by the Censors due to it being ‘too explicit’ and ‘immoral.’ Ironic, isn’t it? It’s not as if Kamasutra originated IN INDIA?

2) Water

A film that dared to look into the lives of widows in India; ‘Water’ was banned by the censors simply because it highlighted issues like ostracism and misogyny. 

3) Gandu

This black and white Bengali ‘rap musical’ was banned for its explicit sex scenes and use of drugs. But the film is a great watch, story-wise! *he he he*

4) Firaaq

This was a film which dealt with the Gujarat riots and the Hindu-Muslim communal hatred. Despite receiving great reviews, the film got banned.

5) Fire

Deepa Mehta’s ‘Fire’ featured a lesbian relationship between two sisters-in-laws! This was just too much for the Censor Board to handle!

6) Sins

It dealt with the struggles of a Catholic Kairali priest who gets sexually involved with a woman. Not only did the Censor Board get offended, but the Catholics also protested against the film.

7) Unfreedom

The latest film to come under the Censor Board scanner, this film features a lesbian relationship, with an Islamic terrorism angle to it! This mix was simply too much for the Censors and it was allowed to release in only a few of the Indian States.

7 Sunny Leone Controversies That Shocked Bollywood

Here are some of the controversies which surrounded our beloved ‘Baby Doll!’

PIL against Jism 2

Activists of another religious group burnt effigies of Sunny and shouted slogans to stay the release of Jism 2.

Sunny’s Marriage on the Rocks?

There were rumours that Sunny Leone was going to part ways with her husband, since she was having an affair with some Bollywood Hunk. Sunny took to Twitter to clear the air and said that ‘her husband satisfies her enough.’ Wow, too much information?

Private Dance in Dubai?

It was rumored recently that Sunny had been offered a huge amount of money to perform in Dubai for wealthy Arab Sheikhs. It was also rumored that she was to perform a cage dance on a private yacht in Dubai.

Comedy Nights with Kapil

Comedian Kapil Sharma refused to have Sunny on his show because of her past as an ‘adult star.’ He stated that his show has a lot of ‘family audience.’ Much later, Sunny came to the show with Ekta Kapoor to promote Ragini MMS 2.

KRK and the Twitter brawl

KRK, the richest star in all of Milky Way, allegedly attributed a tweet that compared rape with surprise sex to Sunny Leone. Sunny’s lawyers went after KRK’s head and he eventually claimed that his account was hacked.

Speaking up for the adult film industry 

She caused a stir when she stated that adult films aren’t prostitution, and rightly so! She said that people think this way because there is no ‘Adult Entertainment Industry’ in India.

Ragini MMS 2 Kiss Controversy

Ragini MMS 2’s shower scene between Sunny and Sandhya Mridul caused a lot of hue and cry, as it featured a kiss between these two hotties. It got much worse when activists of a religious group raised slogans and protests against Sunny Leone!
