The sensitive subject matter made the film a focal point for political and social debates.

   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.
