Khel Khel Mein faces censorship in the UAE.

The comedy film Khel Khel Mein, released recently, has now faced censorship in the UAE. The film, which has garnered positive reviews and praise for its progressive narrative, especially for Fardeen Khan’s character arc exploring his sexuality, has faced significant setbacks in the UAE. This has frustrated fans, who have been sharing their opinions on the heavy-handed censorship, altering the essence of the film.
