Maoists Call for Bollywood Ban in Nepal


A breakaway faction of the ruling the Communist party in Nepal has called for a boycott of Indian films and banned cinema owners from screening them. They claim Bollywood films have dual negative impacts on Nepali culture and economy. The popular films, they say, show negative depictions of Nepali people and keep locals from patronizing locally-created cinema. Al Jazeera's Subina Shrestha reports from Kathmandu.
