Thanks. Didn't know about this film. The ban was lifted in 2010.

If this isn't irony, I don't know what is…
The next sentence states it was banned again after two months.
> In November 2010 [...] received an injunction from the court of Sikkim again banning the film.
Missed that somehow. Available on Youtube in India however -

Also, having now watched the whole film, I couldn't quite fathom why it was banned in the first place!
Apocryphally, for two diametrically opposite reasons - one, for showing that poverty existed in Sikkim, and two, for showcasing pre-annexation Sikkim as a "nice place". All the preceding is hearsay, anyway!
