Ranjhanaa (2013)

Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor's movie was much-loved in India, though we agree that it glorified stalking. However, Pakistan found Sonam's character too bold for a Pakistani woman and hence the film was banned in Pakistan.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013)

Farhan Akhtar's film reportedly found no takers in Pakistan because of the line, “Mujhse nahi hoga. Main Pakistan nahi jaonga.” ( I cannot do this. I will not go to Pakistan).

Baby (2015) 

Censor boards in Islamabad and Karachi banned the film because the Akshay Kumar starrer portrays a negative image of Muslims and the negative characters in the film also have Muslim names.
