Be it politics, diplomacy, international issues and even films, India and Pakistan never seem to agree on the same thing. Here’s a list of Bollywood movies that were banned in Pakistan:
1. Lahore, 2010
The movie was banned as censor board objected to some dialogues and scenes of film and mainly because Pakistani boxers were shown in a negative light.
2. Tere Bin Laden, 2010
Pakistan banned a Bollywood movie starring their own export to India, singer-actor Ali Zafar. Tere Bin Laden was banned fearing the title could be misconstrued by Islamist extremists as reason for attack in Pakistan because it dealt with the controversial issue of slain Al-Qaeda head Osama Bin Laden.
3. Delhi Belly, 2011
Delhi Belly was not allowed to be screened by the censor board due to the use of highly explicit and objectionable language.
4. Khiladi 786, 2012
Considered very sacred to Islam, the usage of the number in a comedy film was deemed to be hurtful for Islamic sentiments and therefore led to a ban on the promo and eventually the complete film got scrapped in Pakistan.
5. Ek Tha Tiger, 2012

Agent Vinod got banned just days before its scheduled release owing to its plot which established Pakistan’s ISI as the anti-India element.
