According to Daily Pakistan, the Punjab censor board banned Barbie due to objectionable content. The Punjab Censor Board has reportedly halted the granting of NOCs for the release of Barbie because it contains pro-LGBTQ content.

The board stated that the film would stay banned in the Punjab region until the ‘objectionable’ content is removed.
