In a recent development, the Supreme Court has halted the release of Annu Kapoor's film 'Hamare Baarah' on Thursday. This comes after the court received complaints that the movie contains offensive content towards the Islamic faith and portrays married Muslim women in a derogatory manner.
A bench consisting of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta took note of the concerns raised by lawyer Fauzia Shakil, who represented the petitioner Azhar Basha Tamboli. The bench requested the Bombay High Court to promptly address the issue and make a decision on the plea.
Upon viewing the movie trailer, the bench observed that the offensive dialogues mentioned in the petition were indeed present in the trailer. In light of this, the court has temporarily suspended the screening of the film until the Bombay High Court reaches a verdict on the matter.
Shakil also brought to the court's attention that the high court had lifted the initial ban on the film through an "unreasoned order". She further argued that the CBFC, being a party involved in the case, should not have been directed to form a committee.
The Supreme Court has left all objections and concerns, including the direction to the CBFC to appoint a committee, open for the parties to raise before the high court. It is worth mentioning that the film has already been banned in Karnataka and was scheduled to release on June 14.
In conclusion, the Supreme Court has taken a stand to ensure that no community or group is offended by the content of a movie. The decision to suspend the release of 'Hamare Baarah' until the Bombay High Court addresses the issue showcases the court's commitment to upholding the values of respect and tolerance in our society.
