While 2024 saw numerous films achieving box office success, some movies also made headlines due to controversies. These films sparked heated debates and faced significant backlash. Let's take a look at the four films that were embroiled in controversies this year:

  1. The Sabarmati Report
    The Sabarmati Report, based on the 2002 Gujarat riots, was released on November 15, starring Vikrant Massey. The film triggered major controversy due to its depiction of the Gujarat communal violence, leading to protests and calls for its ban. The sensitive subject matter made the film a focal point for political and social debates.

  2. Maharaj
    Maharaj, the debut film of Aamir Khan's son Junayd Khan, became controversial for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments. The Gujarat High Court imposed a ban on the film, claiming it had hurt religious feelings, further intensifying the debate surrounding the movie’s release.

  3. Hum Do Hamare Baarah
    This film, which addresses the issue of overpopulation, faced accusations of targeting the Muslim community. Initially halted by the Supreme Court on June 13, it was later released after legal battles. The film faced backlash for allegedly stereotyping a particular community, which led to protests and controversies.

  4. Kalki 2898 AD
    Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone, Kalki 2898 AD faced criticism for distorting religious facts. The film, set in a dystopian future, was accused of tampering with religious and cultural narratives, which led to heated debates about its content.

These films not only became talking points for their stories but also sparked intense social and political discussions, showing how cinema can sometimes be as controversial as it is entertaining.
