Indu Sarkar (2017)
Madhur Bhandarkar's film Indu Sarkar starring Kirti Kulhari in the pivotal role, was strongly opposed by the Congress party

Kissaa Kursee Kaa (1978)

The film was submitted to the Censor Board for certification in April 1975 and later the prints were confiscated and burned. However, the film was finally released in 1978

Aandhi (1975)
Directed by Gulzar, this film was charged with misrepresenting the relationship between the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her husband Feroze Gandhi

However, after her government fell in 1977, the film was cleared for a theatrical release
