Indian film board blocks release of Oscar-nominated Gaza drama The Voice of Hind Rajab
AI Summary
The Indian film board, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), has blocked the release of "The Voice of Hind Rajab," an Oscar-nominated Tunisian film about the death of a five-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza. The film's Indian distributor, Jai Viratra Entertainment, submitted the film for review in February, hoping for a mid-March release. The distributor was told the film's release could harm India-Israel relations, despite the film being released in other countries with ties to Israel. India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has strengthened its support for Israel. The CBFC has a history of blocking politically sensitive films, including "Santosh," due to concerns about its content.
