Anushka Sharma’s horror-flick ‘Pari’ that makes it to the theatres today, worldwide, has been banned in Pakistan. As per reports, ‘Pari’ apparently holds non-Islamic values and encourages people to believe in black magic which is against the religion, and hence the film has been banned.

A senior member of CBFC, Pakistan has quoted to The Tribune Express, “Pari’s script, dialogues and storyline go against our Islamic values. The concepts within Islam have different ideologies about magic. This film stimulates the viewers in favour of black magic and promotes thoughts that are contradictory to our religion”.
