The Court was hearing a plea filed by social activists Kuldeep Tiwari and Bandana Kumar, who were represented by Advocates Ranjana Agnihotri and Sudha Sharma.
The petitioners asserted that the movie in question cast doubt on the integrity of the revered epic Ramayana and defamed the cultural heritage of Ayodhya as well as the Hindu religion.
The movie’s trailer was clumsy and indecent, which has resulted in hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus, the plea stated.
The petitioners further noted that despite the Allahabad High Court issuing notice to the CBFC during a hearing held in January 2023, the Board has not yet responded in the matter.
Recently, an amendment application was filed to include the film’s dialogue writer, Manoj Muntashir Shukla, as a party in the case.
The amendment application also objected to the dialogues written by Shukla, terming them to be ridiculous, ‘filthy’, and ‘against the glory of Ramayan yug’.
