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.
