Gulf states ban Bollywood film on Kashmir...

A hard-hitting Bollywood film about the sensitive issue of life in Indian Kashmir has been banned in a number of Gulf states, its makers said.

Five states -- the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman -- will not show "Lamhaa" (The Moment), which claims to tell the true story behind violence in the Muslim-majority region.
