'The Dirty Picture', which features Vidya Balan in her boldest avatar ever, has been banned in Pakistan for being too explicit, but Girish Johar of production house Balaji Motion Pictures feels it didn't deserve such treatment.
'The film, to be released Friday, was rejected by them (Pakistan),' head of acquisition and distribution at Balaji Motion Pictures, told IANS.
'The Dirty Picture', which has got an A-certificate from the censor board, was due to release across over 50 screens in Pakistan.
According to Johar, the reason behind the ban was the 'too explicit and bold' content of the movie, which also features Emraan Hashmi, Tusshar Kapoor and veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah.
Despite Vidya's skin show and titillating portrayal of a 1980s' dancing star, Johar says the film didn't deserve to be banned.
'Of course not, it didn't deserve to be banned. 'The Dirty Picture' fans, Emraan fans, Vidya fans and 'Ooh la la' fans in Pakistan, all are disappointed,' he added.
The narrative of the movie, is said to have been inspired by late southern sex siren Silk Smitha.

@CanadianAddict: I agree with you 100% with everything you said! haha
I don't understand what is so *po*nographic* about this movie?? The best I can see is Vidya flaunting cleavage and legs and that is because she plays a sex siren of 80s..That can be spicy, but not po*nography..
OMFG someone said the actors must be hanged for making this movie!! ROFL..Escape from Taliban!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooolala oolala tu hai meri phantasy...
PS : The Dirty Picture got high reviews from critics - read in today's Telegraph...Screw all self-styled cultural police...

if pakistan decided to bann this movie then fine, they're not ready for films like this. Just stop getting all worked up. but what really pisses me off is that people are calling this movie third class, clearly if that was the case, it wouldn't be getting such positive reviews. this movie is risky but it has good acting and good plot to back it up so it just might be a hit. I'm sure if it was kareena or katrina, people wouldn't call it so cheap. public needs to grow up and stop being so close minded.

So what if an Indian movie is banned in Pakistan?! Why make such a big issue out of it? In India, or other countries, Pakistani movies aren't even released the way Indian movies are, so if Pakistan decides to ban one Indian movies, I don't think it should be that big of deal, cause it's not like it's going to affect the Indian film industry in anyway. No offense to any country.
