Hamare Baarah Update: The Bombay High Court reviewed the film and found no objectionable content against the Muslim community. However, the court did suggest changes to a few scenes. A petition had been filed seeking to halt the release of the film starring Annu Kapoor, alleging that its trailer was disrespectful to Islamic beliefs. The Supreme Court had previously halted the film's release and instructed the Bombay High Court to swiftly resolve the petition.
Following its review, the Bombay High Court bench stated that objectionable dialogues and scenes had been removed from the film. Fazrul Rehman Sheikh, the advocate representing the petitioners, informed the media that the court expressed the view that the movie conveys a positive social message.
"A stay had been imposed on the film 'Hamare Baarah' because of the controversial dialogues in the film. The judges of the HC watched the film after which, they were of the opinion that the film gives a good social message and it is not what it has been projected as..."
He mentioned that the High Court observed the trailer to be highly offensive. "Some dialogues have been asked to be censored... The order will be passed tomorrow after putting all observations in a consensus... The HC said that the trailer was very offensive and it should not have been released the way it was... The trailer and the message of the movie are drastically different..," Fazrul Rehman Sheikh added.
The court also advised the petitioner's lawyer that forming opinions without watching the movie was inappropriate, stating, "You are making comments based solely on the poster."
Virender Bhagat, producer of the film, told ANI, that the trailer has been removed. "The miscommunication which was attempted has now come to an end...The judges watched the film and said that it is about women empowerment... The court was of the opinion that you cannot judge the film solely based on its teaser, the two are vastly different from each other... The offensive trailer has been removed." The court also said to "filmmakers they should also be careful what they put out. They cannot hurt the sentiments of any religion."
The film has been jointly produced by Birender Bhagat, Ravi S Gupta, Sanjay Nagpal, and Sheo Balak Singh, and directed by Kamal Chandra.' The film stars Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi.
