Film 'Humare Barah' gets permission to release
In fact, according to a Live Law report, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday allowed the release of the controversial film 'Humare Barah' as the producers agreed to remove the objectionable parts of the film. A division bench of Justice BP Colabawala and Justice Firdaus Pooniwala passed this order. The producers agreed to remove a dialogue and a verse from the Quran from the film and also put two 12-second disclaimers in the film.
Many controversial dialogues were removed from the film
The HC allowed the film to be released only after the makers agreed to remove the controversial dialogue from the film, as directed by the CBFC. The court said, "This film is actually for the upliftment of women. In the film, a maulana misinterprets the Quran and in fact, a Muslim man objects to the same in the scene. So it shows that people should use their brains and not blindly follow such maulanas."
Filmmakers were fined Rs 5 lakh
Along with this, the court also said that a fine of Rs 5 lakh on the filmmakers for releasing the trailer with unverified scenes would be appropriate and directed that this amount be donated to a charity of the petitioner's choice. The court said, "Infringement has been made in the case of the trailer. Therefore, you have to give something to the charity of the petitioner's choice. Costs have to be paid. This litigation has brought a lot of unpaid publicity to the film."
