Pakistani minister regrets banning Aamir Khan’s blockbuster Dangal without watching the film: ‘When I saw…’
“One and a half years later, I had a chance to watch the film, and I noticed that my decision to confirm that the ban was wrong. It was an inspiring and close home film.” He said.
Dangal banned in Pakistan
A minister in Punjab, Pakistan, said that Aamir Khan did not allow Dangal to be released in 2017 in 2017. Marrium Aurangzeb, a senior minister in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) in Punjap, said that Dangal has become a minister of knowledge when he was released in international and India.
“Yes, if I have a regret when I was a Federal Minister of Information, he prohibited the scanning of Dangal in Pakistan, Au Aurangzeb said at a popular podcast. “This was the first meeting with the representatives of the Censorship Board and the people of the Ministry of Information, and they proposed forbidden to scan the film that gave some reasons for this.”
Aurangzeb said he had approved the ban despite the fact that he did not watch the film. In those days, the government allowed the publication of Indian films in Pakistan. “A year and a half later, I had a chance to watch the film, and I noticed that my decision to confirm that the ban was wrong. It was an inspiring and close home film for our girls.” He said.
Although Indian films and actors are very popular in Pakistan, the government has banned its screenings in the country since 2019. Indian films were shown in Pakistan cinemas between 2008-2019 and did excellent work. Since the forbidden, dozens of cinema houses have been out of work, and Pakistani films have been struggling to survive in Hollywood films because the construction quality of the films are very low.
