Lipstick under my Burkha?

A movie that was banned in India is now available in the UK from the 21st July.

Lipstick Under My Burkha won the Spirit of Asia Award at 2016’s Tokyo Film Festival, followed by the Oxfam Award for gender equality at the Mumbai Film Festival. Among its recent honors, the film won an audience choice award at the Glasgow Film Festival. The cast includes Ratna Pathak Shah, Konkana Sen Sharma, Aahana Kumra and Plabita Borthakur.

It was deemed to have too many women actresses for the censor board to pass the movie in India?
