Spy film Agent Vinod, starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, has been banned in Pakistan. The reason reportedly is the reference made in the film to Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI.

The Islamabad censor board feels that the storyline could hurt sentiments in Pakistan.

Viewers in Pakistan are disappointed as sales of tickets for the film have been stopped and hoardings of the films have been pulled down in most cinemas across Karachi.

After playing a simple Dalit man in Aarakshan, actor Saif Ali Khan returns as a spy in the thriller, which is releasing in India on Friday.

The movie also found itself embroiled in controversy after an Iranian music band Barobax slapped a legal notice against the makers and music composer Pritam Chakraborty for the song Pyaar Ki Pungi over copyright violation.

Later, Dinesh Vijan, the co-producer of the movie asserted that the song is an original track. Agent Vinod has been directed by Sriram Raghavan with Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan as producers.

Pritam Chakraborty is a major plagiariser.

His first theft was the song Bheegi-Bheegi taken from a Bengali song Prithibi-ta Na Ki from the late 70s from a group called Mohiner Ghoraguli, alleged to be a Naxalite group.

The reason for the ban is that Kareena who plays an ISI agent falls heads over heels for the RAW agent Vinod.

This is unacceptable to Pakis.
But this was normal stuff in James Bond films...CIA and KGB agents in bed.

Only our sub-continental sentiments get hyperactive. Had Kareena been a RAW agent and Saif and ISI agent, then something sena would have banned the film and attacked threaters.

I am not sure if those James Bond films were permitted to be screened in the former Iron curtain countries let alone USSR.

And we should refrain from doing an equal-equal in using words such as sub-continental that unnecessarily lump us with the Pakis.

what ever he do the truth is his songs are instant hit in market.

i feel there is nothing wrong in what pritam is doing . he dont copy 100% he took inspiration from songs put his own input and make good peppy song. all most all pritam songs are chart busters.

as it says, aam khao paerd kyo ginte ho

It's all happening here..true.

However, Sir, the biggest difference, is what constitutes the lunatic fringe in India is mainstream in that hellhole to the west.

Hum mein aur unmein bahut farak hai aur yeh farak rehna hi nahin, dikhna aur dikhaana bhi chahiye.
