Not for nothing that Satyajit Ray's "Sikkim" was (still is?) banned.

  Thanks. Didn't know about this film. The ban was lifted in 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikkim_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikkim_(film)

    The next sentence states it was banned again after two months. > In November 2010 [...] received an injunction from the court of Sikkim again banning the film.

      Missed that somehow. Available on Youtube in India however - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWe067r5X-s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWe067r5X-s Also, having now watched the whole film, I couldn't quite fathom why it was banned in the first place!

        Apocryphally, for two diametrically opposite reasons - one, for showing that poverty existed in Sikkim, and two, for showcasing pre-annexation Sikkim as a "nice place". All the preceding is hearsay, anyway!
