Oman Gives Thumbs Up To Â´LamhaaÂ´ Despite Gulf Ban!

Filmmaker Rahul Dholakia's forthcoming movie 'Lamhaa' which promises to tell the "untold story" of Kashmir faces a ban in the Gulf countries, with the exception of Oman, which will screen the film.

The film starring Bipasha Basu, Sanjay Dutt, Anupam Kher and Kunal Kapoor was banned because the censors in UAE reportedly found the content "highly objectionable" and the subject "controversial".

But 'Lamhaa' has received the thumbs up from Oman authorities, said Hanif Khatri, the general manager of Al Mansoor Video, which is distributing the film across the Gulf region.

"The screening of 'Lamhaa' will go as per schedule in Oman, which is good news for us," Khatri said.

The ban has not gone down well with the film's director who has labelled the censorship "undemocratic".
