In a bid to address a growing controversy, Nepal has decided to enforce a
ban on the screening of Hindi movies within its borders. The decision comes
as a direct response to a dialogue in the highly anticipated film
“Adipurush.” The contentious dialogue, which refers to Janaki, a prominent
mythological figure in Nepal, as a daughter of India, has stirred up a wave
of discontent among the Nepalese population. The government’s ban will
remain in place until the specific dialogue is removed from the film. This
move serves as an attempt to alleviate tensions and ensure that cultural
sensitivities are respected.
