India is well-known for its culture, traditions, and religious beliefs. People are deeply attached to their faith and deity. Because of the personal connection that individuals feel, several Bollywood films have sparked controversy, with some organisations accusing the films of infringing on religious feelings.
PK
The controversial film ‘PK,’ starring Amir Khan, was released in 2014 and sparked outrage for offending Hindu religious feelings. Hindu groups demonstrated against the film’s principal star, Amir Khan, and requested that it not be screened. They said that the film not only disrespectfully depicted Lord Shiva but also displayed booklets declaring Hindu deities such as Hanuman and Laxmi to be “missing.”
Padmavat
Hindu organisations and a Rajput organisation claim that the film contains an intimate moment in which the Muslim monarch fantasises about being intimate with the Hindu queen. Which is not acceptable to them. Apart from that, the communities demanded a title change for the film.

Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela
Due to its association with the Hindu god Rama, a petition was made against the film, which was originally titled, Ram Leela. In India, the word “Ram Leela” refers to the life narrative of Rama, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu and one of Hinduism’s most popular gods. Later the name changed to Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela.
Oh My God
Following a protest alleging that the film featured insulting allusions to Hindu gods, screenings of “Oh My God” were halted in Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Nawanshahr, Hoshiarpur, and other towns in Punjab. “Oh My God,” directed by Umesh Shukla, is a comedy film about an atheist.
