The Delhi High Court has directed the CBFC to review objections from the parents of Major Mohit Sharma concerning the film ‘Dhurandhar’. The parents claim the movie, slated for release on December 5, is inspired by the decorated officer’s life without family or Army consent. CBFC will consider these concerns before certification, potentially consulting the Army. NEW DELHI: Delhi high court on Monday asked the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine the objections of the parents of Major Mohit Sharma, who was killed during a counter-terrorism operation in J&K in 2009, regarding the release of the upcoming movie ‘Dhurandhar’ scheduled on Dec 5.“The petition is disposed of with a direction that CBFC will consider all the aspects of the matter, including the concerns of the petitioner, before granting certification. If CBFC considers it relevant to refer the matter to the Indian Army for necessary approvals, they should do that too. Let the exercise be completed by CBFC as expeditiously as possible,” Justice Sachin Datta said.Sharma’s parents have sought a stay on the film’s release, claiming it appeared to be directly inspired by the life of the decorated officer and was made without consent of the family or Army.During the hearing, CBFC’s counsel argued that it is yet to grant certification to the film and that the producer clarified the movie is not a biopic. The counsel for the filmmakers, too, claimed the movie is not a biopic, but a work of fiction and not based on Sharma’s life.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosWatch: MPs Speak Out as SIR Row Dominates Winter Session OpeningIndia’s Elections Earn Global Praise, CEC Calls It A ‘Moment Of Pride’ Amid Vote Row ClaimsHaryana Bodybuilder Killed After Standing Up To Harassers; Family Says Attack Was Planned MurderModi Trolls Opposition Over Bihar Setback Days Before Parliament ShowdownWoman Marries Boyfriend’s Corpse After Family Kills Him, Alleges Police Provoked BrotherMajor Twist In BrahMos Espionage Case As Higher Court Acquits Scientist Of Passing Defence SecretsRamaphosa Praises PM Modi’s Endorsement of South Africa Hosting G20 Summit, Counters Trump’s Claims‘Is There Any Law?’ Renuka Chaudhary Sparks Row After Bringing Stray Dog to ParliamentBSF IG Warns Of Looming Threat As 120 Terrorists Wait In PoK Despite Dip In Infiltration AttemptsPakistan Rages At UN After Criticism Of Munir’s Immunity Amendment Amid Fears Of Deeper Militarism123Photostories5 statement watches for women that will complete your traditional wedding lookKamal Haasan performances that redefined Indian cinema foreverIncrease protein intake: 4 easy ways to add more of it to everyday diet3 powerful anti-inflammatory drinks and how to make them at homeFrom Dead Sea Scrolls to Hope Diamond, 7 priceless objects in the world7 dinner dishes made with leftover roti offering over 20 gms protein5 animals that camouflage so perfectly that they almost become invisibleHow to make fiber-rich Gobhi ka Paratha for breakfastPrepare your child for the next solar eclipse: 10 interesting facts to share5 low-glycemic superfoods that can help prevent blood sugar spikes123Hot PicksParliament Winter SessionCyclone DitwahWorld NewsGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingCardi BShedeur SandersDrake MayePat McAfeeCandace Owens Net WorthGisele BndchenConnor McDavidLian BichselJayden StrubleAnthony Davis
