The Bombay High Court has allowed the release of the movie, Hamare Baarah. The decision was announced on Friday after the makers of the film agreed to delete two dialogues from their movie. Since the court’s approval, Hamare Baarah will hit theatres on Friday itself i.e. June 7.
As reported by India Today, the High Court announced its decision and said that it was done “only to balance the equities”. The court also felt that “the film may also be required to be viewed to draw any conclusion with regard to the rival contentions.” The court has also reportedly asked to form a committee of three members, including at least one Muslim member, who will watch the film and report back.
Previously, the High Court had imposed a stay on the film’s release due to the controversy surrounding it. Since its announcement, Hamare Baarah, starring Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi, has captured the public’s attention for its bold narrative and thought-provoking themes. Several people have alleged that there is a glimpse of uncouth crude and communal propaganda in the film’s trailer. Others argued that Hamare Baarah’s trailer is disturbing and can “poison” the minds of an entire generation. Amidst the raging controversy, the film’s trailer was abruptly pulled down from online platforms, after releasing on May 30.
Recently, Annu Kapoor also slammed those criticising his film. In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, the actor shared that everyone is quick to make judgments on the film even before watching it. He urged people to watch the film first and then make an opinion about it.
“At a personal and an impersonal level, I’m an atheist. My director and producers thought that I was the right person who would be able to implement their vision on celluloid. So, I tried my best to justify my character. I’m not bothered about the rest. Films are a make-believe world where I’m chosen as an artist and my job is to justify my art,” the actor said.
“People talk about propaganda all the time. I’m not bothered about it. I would urge people to watch the film first and then decide what our film stands for. They haven’t watched it, so I don’t understand why they’re judging it,” he added.
Meanwhile, Hamare Baarah has been banned in Karnataka.
