MOST CONTROVERSIAL BOLLYWOOD MOVIE POSTERS

Controversial b'wood movie posters

These days anything can spin off a controversy. Recently Karan Johar’s film Kurbaan was mired in controversy. Also when Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail got into trouble (because of Neil's nude scene), the censor board had to be summoned

Even A R Rahman's first Hollywood venture after Slumdog Millionaire, a film titled Couple's Retreat is at the centre of a race controversy after two black actors were removed from the movie poster, to promote the film in Britain.

With so many controversies brimming, it reminded us of other movies which got into trouble because of their posters. Lets take a look...

1. Julie:

What Kareena did in Kurbaan was done by Neha in Julie way back in 2004. Unlike Kareena, who had the support of Karan Johar and beau Saifoo, Neha had to face the wrath of opposers all by herself. Although before Julie was released Dilip Banerjee, a member of the Central Board of Film Certification, did say the movie "is based on a solid theme and its fit for an Oscar award".




2. Fire:

While in Hollywood homosexuality or bi-sexuality is not a big deal, in Bollywood it is. The same happened with Deepa Mehta's film which focused on a lesbian relationship between two sister-in-laws. Although it was not as much about movie-poster as it was about lesbianism, nonetheless every theater which had these posters were vandalised




3. Runway:



When a model wears a cross its fashion but when Bollywood wears a cross, its blasphemy! The filmmakers Sunil-Praful found themselves at the receiving end of some threatening calls. Why? Because some were offended with the poster of the film that showed its lead actor with a gun in one hand and the cross on the other!




4. Heroes:

There was no 'intolerance' problem over here. It was more like a problem of plagiarism. When the movie poster of Heroes was released it immediately reminded everyone of Lage Raho Munnabhai. Although Samir Karnik, the director of Heroes, publicly denied the media’s so-called allegation, he did not deny the resemblance.

5. Girlfriend:


Although Girlfriend had genuinely a different love triangle the lesbianism angle didn’t go down well with protesters. They were so irate that they tore down almost all the posters and the banners.
