MP Court issues notice to Neeraj Pandey, Netflix executives over Ghooskhor Pandit title row A court in Madhya Pradesh has issued notices to filmmaker Neeraj Pandey and senior officials of Netflix in connection with the controversy surrounding the film Ghooskhor Pandit. The order was passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) court in Jabalpur after taking cognisance of a criminal defamation complaint that alleges the film’s title is derogatory towards the Brahmin community. The matter was heard by Magistrate Pankaj Savita, who examined an affidavit and supporting documents submitted by the complainant, Pt. Vaibhav Pathak. Based on the submissions and evidence placed before the court, notices were issued to the concerned parties. Pathak, an active member of the Madhya Pradesh Progressive Brahmin Mahasabha, argued that the title of the Manoj Bajpayee-starrer undermines the dignity of the Brahmin community. In his complaint, he stated that the term “Pandit” has historically symbolised knowledge, scholarship and religious sanctity in Indian tradition. Associating it with a word that translates to “briber,” he contended, casts aspersions on the community at large and harms its social standing. During the proceedings, advocate Aseem Trivedi, appearing for the complainant, submitted that although the film’s title is reportedly being modified in compliance with a Supreme Court directive, the effect of the earlier publicity cannot be reversed. He argued that the widesp... #Netflix #Madhya_Pradesh #Neeraj_Pandey #Ghooskhor #Pandey #Ghooskhor_Pandit #filmmaker_Neeraj #Netflix_executives #film_Ghooskhor #Neeraj

Kerala HC questions CBFC over certification of The Kerala Story 2; court to watch film before verdict The Kerala High Court on Tuesday raised serious questions over the certification granted by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to the contentious film The Kerala Story 2 – Goes Beyond. The Court said it would watch the film before deciding on three petitions seeking a stay on its release and cancellation of its certification. Hearing the matter, Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas observed that the CBFC has a crucial responsibility, particularly when a film portrays a secular State like Kerala through what petitioners describe as a communal lens. “Kerala is so secular. It lives with total harmony but have you considered this when something is portrayed as happening all over the state? There is a wrong indication and can even incite passion and that is when the censor board (CBFC) comes in picture,” the judge remarked. The Court noted that since the film claims to be inspired by true events, the apprehensions raised by petitioners cannot be dismissed outright. “The film is projected as being inspired by true events and that, prima facie shows that the concerns raised by the petitioners appear to have some justification,” Justice Thomas said. He further pointed out that including the name ‘Kerala’ in the title heightens public concern. “Apprehensions of people in Kerala cannot be ignored because you have given the name Kerala… you say it is inspired by true events and n... #Kerala #High_Court #film #Kerala_Story #Central_Board #Kerala_High #Story #questions_CBFC #Tuesday_raised #certification_granted
