The Karnataka High Court has issued a ban on the film “Hamare Baraah,” citing concerns over the potential spread of communal hatred. The court’s decision aims to maintain communal harmony and prevent any content that could incite division among communities. “Hamare Baraah,” directed by a prominent filmmaker, has been under scrutiny for its portrayal of sensitive religious themes. The court found that the film could exacerbate communal tensions and decided to prohibit its release to uphold public peace and order and set it under the provisions of the Karnataka Cinema Regulations Act 1964, sections 15(1) and 15(5).
Manoj Joshi, the produce of this film has strongly defended the proposition of the narration by saying, “This movie was not made to target any religion. Today, there are discussions about the respect of women in our country. In any society, there should be no disrespect to women. A woman is not an object or a thing; she should be respected, as has been happening in this land of India. Secondly, that film talks about various topics such as education, upbringing, employment, women’s respect and empowerment, and population. So, everyone should watch this film with their families.”
The movie has released on 7th June, 2024, worldwide and has grasped audience’s attention, be it with a positive remark or negative. But this sudden turn in the turmoil has stirred some excitement among the Indian audience, especially amidst the PM election results.
