Kangana Ranaut starrer Emergency gets banned in Bangladesh, ahead of its release

Kangana Ranaut starrer Emergency which has finally received the green signal for release, after a long battle continue to face challenges in other countries. The film, that revolves around the dark period of emergency in the 70s, during the reign of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, we hear, will not see the light of day in Bangladesh. Sources close to the film have revealed that some of the key factors that have led to this decision include the ongoing issues between India and Bangladesh as well as the portrayal of the assassination of former PM of Bangladesh, Shaikh Mujibir Rehman.

Sources reveal that the current political scenario has impacted the film’s release

A source was quoted in IANS saying, “The decision to halt the screening of Emergency in Bangladesh is tied to the current strained relations between India and Bangladesh. The ban is less about the content of the film and more about the ongoing political dynamics between the two nations."

Meanwhile, another factor that seems to have played a role in this ban is the assassination of Shaikh Mujibir Rehman who is regarded as the Father of Bangladesh, since he played a key role in the separation of Bangladesh from Pakistan. We hear that the film showcases his murder by a group of Bangladeshi extremists that has also further impacted the release.

Indira Gandhi supported Bangladesh war in their war of separation with Pakistan which led to the Indo-Pak war in 1971

Despite being asked by the US Government who were showcasing their support towards Pakistan at the time when a portion of the country demanded a separate nation, India showcased support. Indira Gandhi intervened and supported East Pakistan to create a separation nation of Bangladesh. This led to a war between India and Pakistan in 1971. Followed by the same, a state of Emergency was declared by her for a span of 21 months from 1975 to 1977 citing internal and external threats to the country.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
