A potential release of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar on December 5 hangs in the balance as the Delhi High Court intervenes. The parents of late Major Mohit Sharma, an Ashoka Chakra awardee, had filed a petition seeking a stay on the film's release due to its perceived similarity to their son's life and martyrdom. The Delhi HC has directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to review the objections raised by the family before certifying the film. Dhurandhar, a semi-fictionalized account of the Lyari gang wars in Pakistan, stars Ranveer Singh alongside Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and R Madhavan. The film's certification status remains uncertain, with the CBFC's counsel confirming that it has not yet been certified. The producer's counsel maintains that Dhurandhar is a work of fiction, unrelated to Major Sharma's life. The family's petition claims that the film's depiction of their son's life, persona, and martyrdom is a breach of their right to privacy, dignity, and reputation, as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. The court's decision to review the CBFC's certification process may impact the film's release date, leaving fans and industry stakeholders on high alert.
