 Black Friday (2005 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Friday is based on the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai which many believe were organised as retaliation for the Bombay riots which left over 1500 people dead, mainly Muslims.
Black Friday has not been released in Indian theatres as on the eve of its release a petition was filed by the persons named in the film, the alleged perpetrators of the crime, seeking a stay.
Their argument, which was upheld by the court [1], was that the film would bias public opinion against them and hence affect the outcome of the verdict which is still pending in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.

 Amazon.com: Black Friday / Movie (1940) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
"Black Friday" (1940) survives as a rarity in cinema history: the gangster-horror film.
Though "Black Friday" moves at a fairly good clip, it is a forgettable genre-bender and one of Universal's lesser thrillers.
But as it stands, Black Friday is not worthy of the talent in it, and, by the looks of it, they felt the same way.

 Black Friday (1940)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Karloff and Lugosi were a team with a fine pedigree; "The Black Cat" (1934) "The Raven" (1935) "The Invisable Ray" (1936) and their greatest collaboration, "Son of Frankenstein" (1939).
So it is not unnatural that devotees of their films would approach "Black Friday" with extremely high expectations.
Then to add insult to injury when the film didn't perform to expectations instead of blaming it's failure on the moronic casting-imagine MGM casting Marie Dressler to play Juliet and then wondering what went wrong-the studio heads chose instead to believe the Karloff-Lugosi team was no longer box-office.

 Black Friday : IntentBlog
I’ll leave to those people who have seen the film to comment on the reasons for the ban but, I will tell you that the film is really well done and should be seen by all.
If the release of such a movie were to cause rebleeding of old wounds and reflaring of civil unrest as a concerned citizen you would not want that unless that is your primary intent to begin with.In such a case many a blowing wind from the WEST will be willing to fuel those fires.
I believe the reason why the film is currently banned is that there is a trial pending in court.

 Black Friday = game deals - Joystiq
BLACK FRIDAY makes up more than 50% of the retail sales for the year, so yeah, keep the name.
The reason it is called BLACK Friday is because that is the day that most retailers move out of the "red" (negative profitability) and into the "fl" (positive).
Black Friday is usually the fifth biggest sales day of the year, not the first.
