On Wednesday, the Delhi High Court rejected to hold an early hearing on a petition that asked for the immediate suspension of the recently released film “Adipurush” and the annulment of the Censor Board’s certification.
On June 30, the matter will be listed. Harshit Pandey, the attorney representing Vishnu Gupta, presented the application before the vacation bench made up of justices Tara Vitasta Ganju and Amit Mahajan.
The lawyer said in front of the bench that the Registrar has listed this matter on June 30. There is a pressing need for action. The bench questioned when the movie was released. The lawyer stated that it was published on June 16. Why didn’t you arrive earlier? The judge inquired. This film is causing an outcry. It is also disturbing the international relations, the counsel said.
“This film is disturbing the relations with other countries,” the counsel argued.
“There is no urgency, come back again,” Justice Ganju said.
The plea has been moved by Vishnu Gupta, president of Hindu Sena. He has alleged inappropriate depiction of the characters of Lord Rama, lord Hanuman and Ravana.
It is also alleged that inappropriate language has been used in the movie and the characters are not as they were described in Ramayanas written by Maharishi Valmiki and Tulsi Das. Vishnu Gupta has sought an immediate ban on the movie.
Om Raut’s directorial ‘Adipurush’, which is a dramatic retelling of Ramayana, has been constantly under the scanner ever since the makers released the film. All India Cine Workers Association President Suresh ShyamLal Gupta on Tuesday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding an immediate ban on the film.
From critics to reviewers, several people from across the country have expressed disappointment over the film’s certain dialogues. Some of which include ‘marega bete’, ‘bua ka bagicha hain kya’ and ‘jalegi tere baap ki’. In the wake of such flak, the makers of ‘Adipurush’ have decided to revamp the dialogues.
On Sunday evening, Nepali capital Kathmandu’s Mayor Balendra Shah enforced a ban on Indian movies following the ‘Adipurush’ dialogue controversy. In less than an hour of the KMC Mayor’s decision, the Pokhara Mayor Dhanraj Acharya also sent letters to three movie theatres to halt the screening of all Indian movies starting Monday morning.
There are lots of outcry on social media. Netizens of any age are criticizing the makers as well as script writers. People do not agree with the scene and dialogues which have been shown in movie with the actual ‘Great Epic’.
So many reactions like this can be seen on social media which are being given by audience after watching movie.
