Ban the release of Indian movie ‘’Padmavati’’ which is releasing December 1,2017
To ban the release of 'Padmavati' Movie which is set for release on December 1, 2017. The movie has been a subject of many controversies. Many Hindu groups claiming that the film distorts history and wrongly portrays Padmavati, a contention Bhansali has rebuffed in a recently released online video.
British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in the UK cleared Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus, ‘Padmavati’ with no cuts, the Rajput Samaj launched a boycott against the release of the film. The Samaj has also reportedly written to the British Board to revoke its certification for the film to prevent its release in Britain.
The British Board is yet to comment on the Rajput Samaj’s boycott appeal.
As an INDIAN I believe that this Movie should not be released in the U.K. , thank you all for your time to read this request petition.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), not the Government or Parliament, makes decisions on passing, banning and classifying films in the UK. You can find out more about how they work here:

In any case, local authorities have the power to overrule decisions made by the BBFC, including banning films that the BBFC have passed.
