I&B Ministry Committee Approves ‘Udaipur Files’

The Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry’s committee has given the green light to the release of the film ‘Udaipur Files: Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder.’ This approval comes with specific modifications, including a revised disclaimer and a change in the film’s title. The decision marks a significant step in the film’s journey towards public release, although it still awaits a final nod from the Supreme Court.

Objections from Key Figures

The approval process has not been without its challenges. Objections were raised by Maulana Arshad Madani and Mohd Javed, who are central figures in the case concerning the murder of Kanhaiya Lal Tailor. Their concerns have been pivotal in shaping the modifications required by the I&B Ministry’s committee. These objections highlight the sensitive nature of the film’s content and its potential impact on public sentiment.

Modifications and Implications

The modifications mandated by the committee include a revised disclaimer, which aims to address concerns about the film’s portrayal of events and individuals involved in the case. The name change is also part of these adjustments, reflecting an effort to ensure that the film meets regulatory standards while respecting the sensitivities of those affected by its content.

Awaiting Supreme Court Approval

Despite receiving approval from the I&B Ministry’s committee, ‘Udaipur Files’ still requires clearance from the Supreme Court before it can be released to audiences. This pending decision underscores the complex legal landscape surrounding films that deal with real-life events and controversial subjects. The outcome will determine whether ‘Udaipur Files’ can proceed to theaters or if further legal hurdles remain.
