The mayor of Nepal's capital launched a ban Monday on the screening of hugely popular Indian films after a movie inspired by the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana sparked controversy.
Critics have taken issue with lines of dialogue in the film "Adipurush", which was released globally in Hindi and four other Indian languages on Friday.
The inspiration for the movie, the Ramayana, centres on King Rama's attempt to save his kidnapped wife Sita.
Sita was believed to have been born in Janakpur, a southern district of Nepal, but the film suggests she was born in India, triggering anger in Kathmandu.
