Ten Most Controversial Films of India

1.  Bandit Queen (1994)    (Click here to watch the Movie)

Based on the book 'Bandit Queen: The True Story of Phoolan Devi' by Mala Sen, the film garnered a lot of criticism as the brutal rape scenes didn't go down with audience and was banned in India by censors due to its portrayal of nudity, sex and violence. Not only that, Phoolan Devi also tried to get a stay order in order to prevent its release. The film however received a lot of critical acclaim at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.
