6. Oh My God
Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal‘s hilarious comedy ‘Oh My God’ was one of the biggest film releases in India with social satires pushing into religion. Despite all the praise, the film was banned in many middle-eastern countries and barred from screening as it would ‘hurt religious sentiments’.
