Kabul Express Banned in Kabul and Afghanistan!

It is unbelievable! Kabul Express has been banned in Afghanistan. It is one of the very few films based on Afghanistan. Afghanistan government felt that some parts of the movie were offensive to a particular race of Afghanistan. Reuters stated:

Afghanistan has banned an Indian Bollywood film about journalists in the war-ravaged country because parts of it were deemed offensive to one of Afghanistan's ethnic minorities, a government official said on Saturday.

"Kabul Express" charts a 48-hour journey by three journalists in post-Taliban Afghanistan. It opened to mixed reviews in India last month.

"The film has some sentences which were very offensive toward one of Afghanistan's ethnicities, namely the Hazara," said Minister of Culture adviser Najib Manalai.

"For this reason it has been banned."

Sad indeed. So, I hope that the producer of Kabul Express can resolve the problem with Afghan government soon.
