Raees banned in Pakistan for showing muslims in bad light

Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees has been banned in Pakistan after the Censor Board found the content unsuitable for screening in the country. The content and theme was found to be objectionable as it shows muslims in bad light and undermines Islam.

“The portrayal of Muslims is negative and the film’s content undermines Islam, and a specific religious sect, portraying Muslims as criminals, wanted persons and terrorists” an official source in the censor board said.

The distributors of Raees, Hum Films had last week submitted the film to the censor board for clearance to release in the Pakistani cinema halls after the government allowed screening of Hindi films last week.

Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil were the first two movies to release in the country after the ban last year.

“Raees will not release in Pakistan according to a decision taken by the censor board today. It shows Muslims in very negative light and could lead to reactions from different sects and it is unsuitable for public screening” a source told PTI.

  • This is hilarious. A section of India believes Srk is a Pakistani agent & now Pakistan cbfc blvs srk’s raees is anti muslim..!!
    I luv human beings. V r so funny

  • this is a big slap to Bollywood actor and producer who are giving roles to pakistani actors
    now what is the mean of mahira in raees
    if any indian actress were present in raees than buzz were high in neutral audience
    because some audience were boycotted only because of pakistani actress
    and now the makers are not getting benifit of raees in pakistan

  • This is intolerance in Pakistan not releasing film like Raees . India ko intolerance bolne wale now hiding somewhere . Only negative in Raees i.e Rasheed Lateef character shows good & innocent & masiha . Now what will Pakistani will say ban on Raees ?

  • Films made on Daud Ibrahim is good nd it does not show Muslims in negative light ? nd SRK made a Hindu-Muslim brotherhood movie nd play a muslim charcter they all are saying it undertain Islam.. WTF.. Censor board S*cks

  • From Now SRK’s fake image has created of Paak premi has been now Shuts mouth of those people …no need of Thirdclass country amount …well done Raees team .

    no Paaki paisa needed .shame once again on Taklu …jo desh ke bech raha hain

  • Very bad as all are they(Pakistanis) saints they do bad things as well.
    I think bcz ban Raees will have 30Cr less business in overseas very bad Pakistanis will repent more than anyone bcz Srk has many countries to release his movie it doesn’t bother him afterall he is a King.

  • India too have many sensitive Muslims who could also have protested if they saw anything GENUINELY wrong!
    Pakistan should stop acting as if its only them that are more pure and holy then other countries.
    Sad.
    75% of Pk movie industry revenue generated comes from screening of Hindi movies so let them just coordinate themselves and stop making myopic excuses.

  • doesn’t matter if it releases in pak or not… i’v watched it on internet, and srk performance is awesome… Long live Raees… Zeeshan Raees…

  • The film has been released in India and not even single Muslim here has raised any objection…!!!
    Don’t know what these pakis smoke..

  • Shootout At Paglapur depicts pakis very well I felt- all tough on religious issues on the outside but deep inside they all love to drink daaru n drool over Sunny Leone…!

  • The content and theme was found to be objectionable ab kya kehna secularism wall ka ye intolerance hai ya nahi . Ab answer chahiye Anurag Kashyap , Aamir Khan , Shahrukh Khan , Karan Johar & award wapsi goons and many other . Now its interesting what will be reaction of anurag kashyap .

  • This entire episode of manipulation/clash is in very bad taste and there are no signs of solutions to this in near future which is very unfortunate. Some factors that makes us loose all interest in watching Bollywood movies are the facts that:

    1) Whom should be believe? BOI published collections or Producer published or other (each) trade sites coming up with their own collections/estimates. Looks like all are trying to fool fans.
    2) Which production house is honest? Filmkraft (Krish 3 & Kaabil), Red Chillies (CE, HNY & Raess) or producers of movies like D3, ETT, Dangal, Sultan etc. Looks like every production house is manipulating. Manipulation is manipulation irrespective of you do it for 5 crores or 50 crores.
    3) Whom should we blame for clashes – Stars/Producers or exhibitors who entertain the clash.
    4) When will the quality of Bollywood movies improve or when we start backing quality movies.

    There will be no answer for the above questions, but as a fan i can just stop reading about all this fuss and wait for Aamir Khan to come again and entertain us with his new movie.

  • IT doesn’t matter, its their loss. Raees smashed Kaabil already in domestic and trashed iT in overseas. Game, set and match. Congrats team SRK.

  • Pakis don’t want to show that Indians have good Indian muslims..
    They can’t digest a good Indian Muslim
    Becoz in
    end SRK feels so guilty for Indirectly geeting involved in Bomb blasts

  • So d crux of ds is
    Muslims cn b on d wrong side pf law..do terrible things but u cnt show it….

    Hahah..

    For all d bullshit dat hppns in India..
    I m glad we hv plenty good things as well …thnk Almighty ….our forefathers….

  • I feel like begging to our Indian actors for not taking paki actors…
    I say again Human qureshi would have killed it in raees…
