Adipurush Controversy: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has said some scenes in Adipurush belong to Adult category. The Court was hearing a writ petition demanding a ban on this film. Makers of Adipurush claim that the film is a work of fiction and that its resemblance to Ramayan is coincidental.
The Court said “Do the people who put the disclaimer consider the countrymen, and youth, to be brainless? You show Lord Rama, Lord Laxman, Lord Hanuman, Ravana, Lanka and then say it is not Ramayana?”
The Court observed that the film showed Lord Hanuman and Sita Ji as inconsequential characters. “It’s good that people did not harm the law and order situation after watching the film. Lord Hanuman and Sita have been shown like they are nothing. These things should have been removed from the very beginning. Some scenes seem to be of “A” (adult) category. It’s very difficult to watch such films,” the Allahabad High Court said during the hearing.
It also ordered that the film’s dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir be made party to this case. The Court wanted a reply from the writer in its next hearing.
Mr Muntashir has been accused of writing dialogues that have hurt Hindu sentiments.
“Some dialogues have been removed”
During the hearing, the Deputy Solicitor General informed the Court that the objectionable dialogues have been removed from the film.
The latter responded by asking what was the Censor Board doing when those dialogues made their way into Adipurush.
“That alone won’t work. What will you do with the scenes? Seek instructions, then we will definitely do whatever we want to do… In case the exhibition of the film is stopped, then the people whose feelings have been hurt, will get relief,” the Allahabad High Court ordered the Deputy Solicitor General.
“Big issue”
The petitioners contended that the nature of the dialogues is a big issue. “Ramayana is a paragon for us. People read Ramcharitmanas before leaving home,” the petitioners told the Court.
