Study objections of Major’s kin before clearing film: HC to CBFC

NEW DELHI: Delhi high court on Monday asked the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine the objections of the parents of Major Mohit Sharma, who was killed during a counter-terrorism operation in J&K in 2009, regarding the release of the upcoming movie ‘Dhurandhar’ scheduled on Dec 5.“The petition is disposed of with a direction that CBFC will consider all the aspects of the matter, including the concerns of the petitioner, before granting certification. If CBFC considers it relevant to refer the matter to the Indian Army for necessary approvals, they should do that too. Let the exercise be completed by CBFC as expeditiously as possible,” Justice Sachin Datta said.Sharma’s parents have sought a stay on the film’s release, claiming it appeared to be directly inspired by the life of the decorated officer and was made without consent of the family or Army.During the hearing, CBFC’s counsel argued that it is yet to grant certification to the film and that the producer clarified the movie is not a biopic. The counsel for the filmmakers, too, claimed the movie is not a biopic, but a work of fiction and not based on Sharma’s life.
