The government of Karnataka takes a drastic step against the Bollywood film ‘Hamare Baarah’ for at least two weeks or until the next order. The court stated that due to the film’s tendency to raise communal tension, it should not be shown on the big screen. The decision of the state’s Congress government has been taken under sections of the Karnataka Cinemas (Regulation) Act, 1964, at the request of several minority organizations and delegations after watching the trailer of the film.
Previously, the Bombay High Court also ordered an injunction on the release of the film as it imposed a stay two days before its release. The court asked the respondents to build a committee with three members, including at least one Muslim member in order to provide their report after watching the movie. Moreover, the committee needs to be fully focused on the theme of the movie and the claims made in the petition.
The film features prominent Bollywood actors Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, Paritosh Tripathi and Parth Samthaan. Let’s delve into some more details about this film.

Today, there are discussions about the respect of women in our country. In any society, there should be no disrespect to women. A woman is not an object or a thing; she should be respected, as has been happening in this land of India. Secondly, that film talks about various topics such as education, upbringing, employment, women’s respect and empowerment, and population. So, everyone should watch this film with their families.”
