Bollywood has always landed itself into controversies when films based on social issues has come up. Recently, Aamir Khan's starrer "PK" created buzz that it might get banned as it has hurt sentiments of certain communities.

However, the Supreme Court did not ban it, saying, "Don't waste the valuable time of court by applying stupid logic. If you don't like the movie, don't watch it and keep you and your family away from the movie," Bollywood Villa reported.

But, all the films are not lucky enough. Here are a few Bollywood flicks that were banned:

Fanaa

Aamir Khan's "PK" was not his first film that faced 'ban' issues. Even, Kajol's comeback movie with him - "Fanaa" - landed itself into controversies. The film was a no-show in Gujarat as Khan took a stand for "Narmada Bachao Andolan", which did not go well with BJP and Congress.
