Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Banned In Dubai & UAE

Bad news  for  movie buffs in Dubai and the Middle East. Ayushmann Khurrana and  Jitendra Kumar’s  love story won’t be screened in those parts.

Nothing  personal. It’s just that films with a gay theme are automatically  banned in the  Middle Eastern countries.

A  source from Dubai informs  me, “We knew this was coming. Or, rather not coming. We really wanted  to see what Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan has to say,since  it is  the  first  Bollywood film that normalizes a  gay relationship.Sadly all films with a gay content are   banned in these  parts.”

Apparently   Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan  producers  offered to edit out the smooch between Jitendra and  Ayushmann. But they were  sharply reminded that  it wasn’t about  the kiss but the content.

 Okay then.
