One of the most controversial films of the present times even though there is not much controversy inside is none other than Padmaavat crafted by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film just defied all the hurdles created by Karni Sena and Co and went to nett 100 crores box office revenue already.
While the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana wanted to stand by the “Rajput” side of the film saying that it is hurting sentiments of people from that caste, now a country wanted to stand by Khilji’s side. Actually, the film has Allauddin Khilji as the villain, a Muslim ruler who conquered Delhi throne in 1296 AD and that has now hurt Malaysian Censor authorities.
Feeling that the film touches the sensitive things related to Islam and portraying the religion in a bad light to a larger extent, Malaysia felt that the Muslim-majority country will find it unacceptable and hence banned the film. Like many said already, it’s Khilji’s descendants who should feel sad about the film, not Rajputs, it looks like Malaysia took a clue from them.
Meanwhile, it’s a wonder that the film hasn’t found obstacles when Pakistani censors steered a clearance for its release.
