By terming the movie explicit, immortal, unethical –Indian Censor Board has banned the film. The source or origin of the film Kama Sutra, this argument probably did not fit well with the concepts of authorities. Some heterosexual or homosexual scenes also lead the movie to the path of Ban.
Fire
The movie Fire actually depicts the concept of lesbian relationship between two ladies Sita and Radha—who are eventually sisters in law. The concept of homosexuality is enough to lead the movies to ban the film and the name of characters Sita and Radha fuelling the issue all the more.
