The Supreme Court on Friday slammed producer Ekta Kapoor over objectionable content in her web series "XXX". A bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and C.T. Ravikumar said: "Something has to be done. You are polluting the minds of the young generation of this country..."

Many people were offended by Sunny Leone's hot performance in Ragini MMS 2 and by the movie's use of religion. In fact, the Hindu Janjagruti Samiti (HJS) requested the Central Board of Film Certification to ban Ragini MMS 2.

Protests broke out in Ludhiana, Punjab, on February 3, disrupting the screening and demanding that this movie be banned. The Hindu Nyay Peeth was behind the protests. Additionally, on February 10, 2016, a police report (FIR) was filed in Delhi's Adarsh Nagar Police Station against Sunny Leone and Vir Das. The film was criticised for allegedly depicting encouraging the use of a condom within a temple, which offended religious sensibilities.

This Shekhar Kapur film, which is based on the life of Phoolan Devi, was banned for its explicit sexual material, nudity, and abusive language, which the Censor Board (obviously) could not bear.

It received criticism from the Censor Board, which labelled it "explicit, unethical, and immoral" for the nation's audiences and blamed it for the invention of the Kama Sutra.
