A number of his films have been festival favourites but actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui feels the movies which get tremendous acclaim abroad, unfortunately get stuck here because of censorship issues.
	The actor, who has worked in critically acclaimed films as diverse as "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" and "Miss Lovely", says he is saddened by the fact that things really haven't changed as much as one was expecting.
	"There are lot of things we were expecting to move ahead, which haven't. Five years ago there was a glimmer of hope because such good films were being made. Now, they go to festivals, get awards and acclaim, but the moment they come here, it all fizzles. It is very scary," Nawazuddin told PTI.
	When asked if censor board is one of the reasons, he says films made on real life stories find difficult to be passed.
