5 Bollywood films banned in Gulf countries before Dhurandhar

Health

Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has been blocked in six Gulf nations. But this isn’t the first—several Indian films before it have faced bans. Check them out here.

A spy thriller following an Indian agent on a high-stakes mission across borders. It was banned in Oman, Kuwait and Qatar, reportedly due to its portrayal of Islamic countries.

An action drama about Air Force pilots battling threats in the air and on the ground. Its pro-military tone and depiction of cross-border conflict led to bans across most Gulf nations, except the UAE.

It was a raw, multi-generational crime saga set in India’s coal belt, known for its gritty realism. Kuwait and Qatar banned it due to its graphic violence and strong language.

A political thriller exploring the impact of the Article 370 abrogation in Kashmir. It was blocked across all Gulf countries for its sensitive geopolitical themes.

A patriotic aviation drama inspired by real military operations. It was barred from release in several Gulf states, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman.
