We all know how much Hamza Ali Abbasi loves commenting on current issues and Pakistani politics.
Recently Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar’s latest venture PadMan got banned in Pakistan and no other than our all time favourite Hamza Ali Abbasi stance on PadMan stirs social media debate.
According to members of the censor board, films on “taboo” topics such as menstruation should not be allowed to be viewed in the country. In fact, the Federal Censor Board also denied issuing an NOC to PadMan and has announced it to be banned from cinemas everywhere.
“So our Censor Board allowed Padmavat which portrays Sultan Allaudin Khilji as a nymphomaniac barbarian & banned #Padman which gives much needed awareness abt menstrual hygiene! I am known as a wannabe Mullah & even i find it pathetic… Grow up Censor Board!,” Hamza Ali Abbasi tweeted.
Joining the bandwagon; Do you think the section of women in need of awareness are cinema goers and can afford tickets to the movie? Women who need an awareness are usually from that class where their only worry is to manage food! First please make sure they have basic amenities of life! By the way quite lame tweet by you!” wrote one user.
Another twitter user discussed the supposed aesthetics of religion. “This awareness can be spread by some other means too. Jab Islam main kuch cheezon ko hidden rakhne ka hukm hai tou wo hidden hi rehni chahiyen.
Let’s see where Padman’s fate lies in Pakistan for now? Only time will tell!
