The Allahabad High Court denied a petition seeking to halt the release of the film 'Mirzapur: The Movie', citing that the request was based on allegations of violence and obscenity.
The Allahabad High Court on Thursday refused to grant a stay on the release of the film 'Mirzapur: The Movie', despite a petition filed by a group of parents and activists.
The petition, submitted on March 15, alleged that the film contained excessive violence and sexual content that could be harmful to young viewers.
The makers of the film, which is a spin‑off of the popular web series, have defended the content as realistic portrayals of crime in the region, and the film is scheduled for release on April 20.
With the stay denied, the film is set to hit theatres and streaming platforms as planned, while the court has directed the parties to submit a detailed content review if they wish to seek further legal intervention.
