Hindi Pati Parmeshwar (1990)

Pati Parmeshwar is a Hindi movie directed by Madan Joshi and Produced by R. K. Nayyar. The movie features Dimple Kapadia, Shekhar Suman, and Sudha Chandran in lead roles. The movie was released following a court battle with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), where it was banned for screening due to its perceived glorification of the submissiveness of women. The CBFC ruled to ban the film’s screening, refusing to rate it, because of the portrayal of the character of Rekha, the forgiving wife who the CBFC thought was in “ignoble servility” of her husband. The Bombay Court found the ban unjustified. It was released in 1989.
