In India, A Film Is Shunned By Nervous Theater Owners

The Indian film “Parzania,” about the 2002 religious riots in Gujarat that killed 1,100 people, is showing in theaters around the country — but not in Gujarat. “India maintains a storied and constantly replenished dustbin of cannot-be-seen movies. … ‘Parzania’ stands out, though, because theater owners are refusing to screen the film even after it was approved by the censor board.”
