The Delhi High Court directs the Centre and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to review allegations that the film “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” (also referred to as “Dhurandhar 2”) exposes sensitive details related to Indian military and intelligence operations. The petition is filed by a person described as a military official, who argues that the film’s explicit depiction of tactical procedures and references to real-life operations could undermine national security and endanger undercover agents.
While the court notes that the film is presented as entertainment and may be fiction, it still finds the concerns raised by the petitioner require examination. According to the reports, the court’s order emphasizes that the claims are not dismissed outright simply because the movie is a work of fiction. The directions involve reassessing the concerns in the context of film certification and the potential sensitivity of the portrayed material.
The case focuses on whether the film’s content warrants further scrutiny by the regulatory bodies in light of the security-related allegations brought before the court.
