Pakistani censor board bans Punjabi flick ‘Ambarsariya’

Pakistan film censor board has banned the Punjabi film ‘Ambarsariya’ because it makes ‘strong references’ to the Indian intelligence agency RAW.

“The movie makes strong references to Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), which is why the panel decided against it,” The Express Tribune quoted Mobasher Hasan, chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), as saying.

Hasan said that the decision was taken after a review from full board of the CBFC. “It is a film set in India and we have stopped its release because it focuses on RAW,” he added.

Punjabi film ‘Ambarsariya’ stars Diljit Dosanjh, Navneet Kaur and Monica Gill in lead roles.
