To say that Bollywood is a hotbed of controversy is perhaps not an understatement. From star lives to films dealing with sensitive subjects, there is no death of instances when B-town has kicked up a storm. In a country as diverse as ours, on far too many occasions, films have inadvertently rattled certain sections of society, leading to protests against the concerned films. And though India has become more liberal in its approach over the years, sensitive subjects still run the risk of getting banned.

A case in point is the Punjabi film, Kaum De Heere, that will not be released in the country since the Indian government has imposed a last minute ban on the film. The film is said to be based on the events leading up to the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. The movie was banned earlier this year by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), after which it was released in other parts of the world on March 14. Following this, its makers accommodated some changes in the movie and soon it was cleared by the Censor Board only to be banned again after the Centre withdrew its censor certification.
