The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has announced a sweeping ban on Indian films in cinemas nationwide during the upcoming Eid al-Azha festival. The directive prohibits the screening of all Indian films, including censored Indian Punjabi films, across all cinema houses throughout the country.
This unprecedented restriction will be enforced for a period starting two days before Eid and extending up to two weeks after the holiday. Cinema operators have already received formal notifications regarding the ban, ensuring strict compliance.
The decision impacts not only the availability of popular movie genres but also the representation of various movie characters that typically attract audiences during festive seasons. This move has sparked significant debate among film industry stakeholders and cinema-goers alike.
For those interested in exploring alternative cinematic experiences during this period, detailed movie reviews and insights into different movie genres can provide guidance on available options beyond the Indian film slate.
