Following security concerns, several multiplexes in Pune have decided against screening the National Award-winning Marathi film Dashakriya, which was going to release today. The film has been mired in controversy after right-wing organisations demanded a ban on the film arguing that "it hurts religious sentiments and portrays the Brahmins in poor light". Punekars only realised that the film wasn't running in theatres after they tried to book tickets online, and learned that the shows had been cancelled.
