  Khooni Mahal  This is the film I was thinking of when I mentioned a film in the poast " Banned in India 3 ."

The censorship laws in India are confusing, you aren't allowed to show people being cut up, but being stabbed with a fork is fine @).

The film begins with the death of a mill owner His daughter, and drunkard son have to take over running the textile mill, but the son's antagonist treatment of the workers causes the sister to organise a strike to help the workers. After talks with her brother, she gets the workers back working, but with better treatment from her brother.

Modesty Prevails  T he film Janbaaz was banned in India for many years because the censors were offended by the romantic scenes between actress Dimple Kapadia and Anil Kapoor . There was another film that got banned for a while as the poster featured the image of a naked young lady being carried across a graveyard, this film was from the late 80s and is a Ramsay Brothers horror film.
