All copies of the film were seized, burned and banned for over a decade by the supreme court.

The Last Temptation Of Christ: – Based on a novel by Nikos Kazantzakis, this Martin Scorsese’s film portrays Jesus as a man with sexual desires towards the end of the film, Jesus gets down from the cross and starts a family with Mary Magdalene in a dream caused by Satan.

(5) The Girl With A Dragon Tatoo: The Oscar nominated crime thriller was banned in India after the director, David Fincher, refused to cut scenes portraying rape and sexual intercourse. India’s Central Board of Film certification had insisted on the removal of five scenes including one in which Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara make love and another in which Mara’s character is raped by her legal guardian.

According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.
“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.
“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.
