'Hamare Baarah' film BANNED in Karnataka, government takes step to prevent communal tension

The Karnataka government has prohibited the release of Annu Kapoor's film 'Hamare Baarah' and the film has been prohibited in the state for two weeks, or until further notice. The state government claimed that the decision was made after reviewing pleas from several organizations and seeing the trailer. It went on to say that the video had been prohibited to prevent communal tensions in the state. The ruling complies with Karnataka Cinema Regulations Act 1964, Sections 15(1) and 15(5).

Even before its premiere, 'Hamare Baarah' received a lot of negative feedback from spectators. Several people claim that the film's trailer contains vulgar, coarse, and community propaganda. Others said that the trailer for 'Hamare Baarah' is frightening and has the potential to 'poison' an entire generation's psyche.
