Unfreedom was by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for its “sensitive portrayal” of religious groups and its depiction of same-sex relationships. Director Raj Amit Kumar publicly criticized the ban, calling it a violation of artistic expression. The film was eventually released in the U.S. and other countries, receiving mixed reviews but praise for its courage.
While the film is "bold" for its time, many critics from the LA Times and The Hollywood Reporter found it to be heavy-handed, arguing it relies more on than nuanced storytelling . Unfreedom.2015.720p.WEB.DL.ENG.2.0.ESub.x264.mkv
