The United Arab Emirates has banned the screening of Kamal-directed 'Gaddama,' the first Malayalam film which lifted the purdah off the shocking living conditions of Malayali home nurses working in the Gulf. Censor officials in Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE, prohibited the screening on the ground that the film showed a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia in poor light.
Following the UAE ban, West Asian nations like Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain, where there is a strong Malayali diaspora, too have blacklisted the film.
