Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' , Bombay HC refuses order for certification
The film "Emergency," directed by Kangana Ranaut and originally set for release on September 6, has been delayed following objections from Sikh organizations regarding historical inaccuracies. The Bombay High Court has decided not to mandate an immediate certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) but has directed the CBFC to address any objections or representations by September 18.
The court's decision came during a hearing of a petition filed by Zee Studios, the film's co-producer. The film, which portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's life, has faced scrutiny over its depiction of Sikh community issues and historical facts. The Madhya Pradesh High Court had previously instructed the CBFC to consider the concerns raised by the Jabalpur Sikh Sangat, which had objected to specific content and the trailer.
The Bombay High Court emphasized that it could not override the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order and could not compel the CBFC to issue the certification immediately. However, the court expressed concern over the financial implications of delaying the film's release, noting the significant investment involved in film production. It also criticized the CBFC for seeking delays due to the Ganpati festival, suggesting that such reasons should not impede the certification process.
Kangana Ranaut's team responded by accusing the CBFC of unlawfully withholding the film's certificate. Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has allowed the petitioners to present their objections to the CBFC, which has not yet issued a final certificate.
The Shiromani Akali Dal has also sent a legal notice to the CBFC, requesting the halt of the film’s release. The next hearing is scheduled for September 19, following the CBFC’s deadline to resolve objections.
