Barbie, the 2023 movie that starred Margot Robbie and was directed by Greta Gerwig, became a billion-dollar movie soon after its release. Depicting the story of a world where women (Barbies) rule the world, the movie has a very feministic undertone.

It is because of this undertone that the film was banned in several countries. Due to that, the Margot Robbie starrer was a domestic failure in several countries and the reason is quite harrowing!
