Bollywood is another world itself. Along with romance and fun, it has always been famous for controversies. From actor’s off-screen personal lives to on-screen movies everything has been the part of these controversies. The Indian cinema industry is surrounded by disputes. These wars of velitations keep the industry interesting and spicy. Imagine Bollywood without any controversy. Blunt and bore. Right?
Movies are the major part of these controversies. Every time a new thought provoking or scandalous topic comes up and you can easily expect the drama either from sensor board or from some self-proclaimed fundamental group. Either ways you can feel the heat.
Here are 10 controversial movies which gathered many eyeballs:
