Film Release Halted Amidst Major's Family Objections

The release of the upcoming film 'Dhurandhar,' set to premiere on December 5th, has been put on hold following a Delhi High Court directive. The court has instructed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to thoroughly examine objections filed by the parents of Major Mohit Sharma. They contend that the film is based on their son's life and was produced without obtaining consent from the family or the Indian Army.

During the proceedings, the filmmakers and the CBFC's counsel presented counterarguments. The producer and the filmmakers' representatives stated that 'Dhurandhar' is a work of fiction and not a biopic directly based on Major Sharma's life. However, the court emphasized that the CBFC must consider all aspects of the petitioners' concerns before proceeding with the film's certification.
