Adipurush movie controversy: Supreme Court declines PIL seeking revocation CBFC certificate

Op India  

The Supreme Court on Friday declined a PIL seeking to revoke the CBFC certificate of the film ‘Adipurush’ for public exhibition for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. The top court was hearing a PIL filed by lawyer Mamta Rani seeking direction to revoke the certificate of the film ‘Adipurush’. The plea said that exhibition of Om Raut’s ‘Adipurush’ hurt the sentiments of Hindus and devotees of various deities depicted in the movie by “destroying their fundamental values and characters” and modifying the basic structure of Valmiki Ramayana. The plea filed through advocates Shailendra Mani Tripathi, Ratnesh Kumar Shukla and Akash Awana sought direction “to protect and preserve all the religious manuscripts and texts in their original form at all platforms and prohibit distortion of the above-said texts/manuscripts by anyone.” The plea also strongly objected to some dialogues in the movie, saying that only ‘gully boys’ use such ‘derogatory’ language.
