The ban when lifted will substantially increase the revenue of the movie.

@A Pakistani - Its not the amusement, It just one movie, like any other. The fact is you people are more interested in Bollywood movies, Truth is always bitter. but you need to accept it. First watch movie, then come to conclusion.

If they won't allow the shape of water to run at the cinema then they definitely shouldn't think differently about Salman Khan's brainless flick either.
