Pakistan issues Fatwa against ‘Calendar Girls’

Looks like the makers of ‘Calendar Girls’ have struck a chord with

Pakistani nationals, but not in a good way. Apparently, the film that

is set to release on 25th September, has received a Fatwa from

Pakistan due to some content, which portrays the country in bad light.

One of the girls in the film features as being of Pakistani origin and

delivers a dialogue – ���Pakistani ladkiyan bhi utne hi bold kaam karti

hai jitni baki ladkiya karti hai; balki kabhi kabhi usse zyada bhi.�۝

(Pakistani girls do equally bold work as other girls; and sometimes

more than them too)

They feel the dialogue portrays Pakistani girls and culture in false

pretence, and the movie will be a bad influence on young girls in

their country. This has upset the Pakistani officials who have decided

to ban ��Calendar Girls�۪ in Pakistan.
