Film
Lamhaa
directed
by
Rahul
Dholakia
and
produced
by
Bunty
Walia
has
seen
a
lot
of
problems
in
the
release
of
the
film.
This
time
the
issue
is
not
with
India
but
with
the
middle
east
countries,
who
have
put
a
ban
with
the
release
of
the
film.
“First
the
premiere
of
Lamhaa
was
not
allowed
in
Kashmir..
Now
the
middle
east
puts
a
ban
on
the
release
of
the
film
in
their
countries," Sanjay
Dutt
tweeted,
expressing
his
disappointment.
First
it
was
censorship
issues
by
the
Indian
Government
who
raised
a
question
on
the
film
and
later
approved
its
release.
Second,
the
premier
in
Kashmir
was
banned
and
now
it
is
the
issues
with
middle
east.
Is
it
that
the
world
is
not
ready
to
settle
down
with
a
film
which
shows
you
the
truth
of
life
today.
“Banning
a
film
is
nothing
but
a
Cultural
Terrorism....very
upset
about
ban
on
LAMHA
iN
GULF
COUNTRIES...I
CONDEMN
IT
STRONGLY
AND
SUPPORT
MAKERS
WHOLE
HEARTEDLY!!!!",
tweets,
the
film
maker
Madhur
Bhandarkar.
Lamhaa
is
a
film
set
in
Kashmir.
This
film
is
partially
a
love
story
between
an
army
officer
played
by
Sanjay
Dutt
and
his
love
for
a
girl
Bipasha
Basu,
and
partially
about
the
under
belt
turmoil
that
exists
in
Kashmir.
Lamhaa
apart
from
Sanjay
and
Bipasha
stars,
Kunal
Kapoor
and
Anupam
Kher.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
Rahul
Dholakia's
films
have
raised
controversy
among
the
people,
earlier
it
was
with
film
Parzania,
staring
Naseeruddin
Shah
and
Sarika,
which
showed
a
true
life
story
of
a
10
years
old
Parsi
boy,
and
featured
the
communal
riots
in
Gujarat.
This
film
also
created
agitation
claiming
that
the
film
was
biased
and
supported
only
one
community.
This
time
it
is
with
Lamhaa,
which
again
tries
to
bring
the
real
picture
to
the
people.
But
how
far
will
this
movie
be
impartial
is
still
a
riddle
to
be
solved.
