The much-anticipated comeback film of Kareena Kapoor Veere Di Wedding turned out to be a sign of disappointment for Pakistanis who will be unable to enjoy this film in the local cinemas. Veere Di Wedding is gearing all sort of limelight and attention based on how this is Kareena Kapoor’s comeback film after giving birth to her son Taimur Ali Khan.
The film also stars the newlywed Sonam Kapoor and is produced by her father Anil Kapoor. The film, as seeing the trailers, revolves around 4 friends talking about the desi societal norms, struggling with family acceptance and includes a lot of “bold” talk about relationships and sex.
However, the Release and the Screening of Veere Di Wedding Was Banned by the Local Cinema Authority!
“Members of the CBFC unanimously decided to not allow the film for public exhibition in the cinemas as its content flouts the Censorship of Film Code 1980,” said Danyal Gilani, Chairman, Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC). The board called out the film for having vulgar language and obscene scenes.
With the News of Veere Di Wedding Getting Banned in Pakistan, Here’s How the Locals Reacted

Love This!
Film 'Veere Di Wedding' has been banned in Pakistan? So it's okay to show series on TV where female characters are crying their eyes out or getting slapped, but a film that shows women having fun and expressing themselves is vulgar?

And the Fact that Sonu Ki Tittu Has A LOT of Abuses As Well
Whenever a nice movie I'm actually looking forward to is about to release, it gets banned. Case in point: Padman, Veere di Wedding
Liken ye Sonu ki Tittu ki Maa ki whatever was in cinemas for a fucking decade.

The Indians, On the Other Hand, Kept Mocking Pakistan for Making this Decision
Veere Di Wedding has been BANNED in #Pakistan for 'Vulgar Content'. Reason? #Islamic Fundamentalism. It's being screened in Hindustan which #Bollywood sellouts are ashamed of.
Where are the placards & photo ops now?Do Bollytards have the balls to call out Islamic Fundamentalism?

And It Got More Intense
Veere Di Wedding Banned In #Pakistan. Differences Aside, We Stand With Pakistan On This. They're Already Suffering With Problems Like Terrorism And Poverty, Allowing Movies Like #VeereDiWedding Would Be Disastrous. We Care For People Of Pakistan. ????

This is what Kerma is. All the 4 dumb low IQ bimbos acting in this movie were/are strongly Pro Pakistani fanatic radicalists.

While Pakistanis have a mixed reaction on the ban of the film, given how a lot weren’t thrilled to watch a copied version of a Hollywood film, given how they’ve made this more like a war between two nations than the actual content is something that needs to be deemed on.
Indians banned Pakistanis from WORKING in their country, whereas Pakistan banned just ONE film based on the content. Surely everyone understands who the extremist here is.
