Issues Have Been Worked Out For Release Of Movie: Makers Of 'Emergency' Film Tell Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court allowed the release of Kangana Ranaut’s movie Emergency after it was cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A petition was filed by a group of individuals who opposed the film’s portrayal of the Indian Emergency period and sought to halt its release. The Court ruled that once the CBFC has issued a certification, there is no ground for further intervention unless there’s a legal basis for doing so. The case highlights ongoing tensions over the limits of creative expression and the powers of the CBFC.
