Pakistan bans Naam Shabana after release!

Pakistan has banned the theatrical screening of ‘Naam Shabana’, even though the film was passed by the country’s Censor Board. While no reason for the ban was given, there are reports that the film was banned due to its terrorism angle.

“The Pakistani authorities seemed fine with the film. But a day after the film released they woke up to the fact that the theme of terrorism could reflect badly on Pakistan” a source close to the film said.

Last week, Aamir Khan decided not to release the industry’s biggest grosser ‘Dangal’ because the Pakistani Censor Board wanted the Indian National Anthem and National Flag to be edited out.

  • After passing the film from censor board they must have seen indian critic reviews so they decided not to release it

  • Respect to Aamir
    and some people call him anti national

    I remember Airlift was released without Indian Flag in pakistan

  • This is one of the major reasons why this country is considered one of the shittiest in the world!

  • Is country ko e ban kardo..

    A big slap on the face of those bloody politicians and their blind followers who called Aamir an anti national, pro Pakistani guy!

  • Any Bollywood films should not be released in Pakistan.there are 200 countries in the world.why we need to release films there ? Only to earn few crores ? There should be no relation with Pakistan.

  • And there is so called desh bhakt akshay kumar who released airlift in pakistan after cutting the national flag scene…

    where is “intolerance” aamir khan refused to release dangal because of national abthem and national flag respect….

    ab to samjh jao bhakto akshay me desh bhakti sirf patriotism k naam pe paise kamaane k liye hai…

  • now its time to take some harsh disizn…
    why to release our movie in pakistan??
    We have 192 more countries where we can release our film…

    “Na samjhoge to mit jaaoge ae hindusta walo…tumhari daastan tak bhi na hogi daastano me”

  • Doesn’t matter. I don’t want any Indian film to release in Pakistan, we don’t need revenue from there.
    Domestic and other overseas countries are enough for the revenues.

    @tiger I think Aamir has come long way from intolerance controversy. The way people accepted his movie Dangal last year is an example that at the end, people are expecting good film and works from actors not their political views. Though there are still some people who questions Aamir even now. But at the end, Aamir has trust of audience with him.

  • @12.08 very true.

    Dont know why Pakistani feels so uncomfortable with anything related to India. You dont want the flag? But can you hide it from audience that its not an Indian movie??? Probably the most retarded censor board any movie industry can boast of. Sad but true

  • Pakistan decision makers are really an insecure bunch of losers…….a countrys flag …its anthem quakes dem in dr boots….mayb dy think dr awaam will bcum india sympathizers ….
    And for naam shabana …Terrorism angle….haha really ………so Pakistan wants to shield its people from on screen terror portrayal coz in actuality dey cant …rather wont do anything concrete ……cant think of any other reason ….
    Pathetic

  • I hate everything about pakistan, but when i see pak girls i forget all enmity….

    These beautiful girls are wasting their life in pak, they deserve to live in a country like india.

    India need to bring all these beauties to our country and un-pak them…

  • Shahrukh Khan is the greatest Bollywood
    actor not only India but in whole world
    who suppressed all last three decades
    who success rate in consistency
    is 100?

  • @Yousaf you bloody attention seeker go to your srk articles and bark such nonesense over there. This article has nothing about srk so why are you making off topic comments?

  • @Sky not only trust, he has die hard fan following and love from billions of fans across the globe. He is the most loved megastar of india.

  • This country does not deserve our films i want every filmmaker to not release their films in pakistan but some idiots like mahesh bhatt will never learn.

  • @1:13pm

    Nope…Nothing has been ended yet. Just log in to twitter you’ll see thousands of jerks utter nonsense on Aamir. After national award controversy this bcm even more common. I have no problem with other fanbases troll or such things. But in case of Aamir, these all are planned and paid (Remember by mistake a big politician accepted this in Mumbai last year).
