భారతదేశంలో బహిష్కరించబడిన సినిమాల జాబితా

Question: భారతీయ జనతాపార్టీ మొదటిసారిగా ఎప్పుడు అధికారంలోకి వచ్చింది?

భారతదేశంలో దేశవ్యాప్తంగా, పాక్షికంగా లేదా పూర్తిగా, ఎప్పటికీ లేదా కొంత కాలం పాటూ బహిష్కరించబడిన సినిమాల జాబితా ఇది. సీబీఎఫ్సీ ఈ చిత్రాలకు సెర్టిఫికేట్ ఇవ్వటం కూడా మానుకుంది. ఈ జాబితాలో అప్రభుత్వ సంస్థల ద్వారా బలవంతంగా నిలిపివేయబడ్డ చిత్రాలు కూడా ఉన్నాయి.
