Re: Russian-Ukranian War: Geopolitical Fallout

Why do we need the law to allow it? What they did in foreign soil is not relevant for India unless a foreign govt goes for prosecution and seeks extradition. India should allow indian citizens IN without asking questions if their record is clear from the perspective of Indian law.

Thuppakki had its fair share of controvery, slogans, protests, apologies, and deleted scenes. I dont think it will be an issue to take such movies as long as it is similar to thuppakki without reference to some relious keywords.
