Finally the controversial movie, Indu Sarkar will release today as
the Supreme Court gave a nod to its release on Thursday stating that
there is nothing wrong in dramatizing historical fact on the screen. The
Madhur Bhandarkar film purportedly depicts the emergency period of the
nation.
After a bench of justices, Dipak Misra, Amitava Roy, and A
M Khanwilkar watched the trailer of the said movie, they approved that
the movie is no where a documentary and the filmmakers are allowed to
show historical facts in the movie in a fashionable manner. "Depiction
of history has its own nuances and perception. Allow researchers and
projectors to showcase their work. Do not go behind them... As far as an
exhibition of the movie is concerned, we are of the opinion that it is
an artistic expression within the parameters of law and there is no
warrant or justification to curtail the same," the bench said.
The
petition was filed by Priya Singh Paul, who claims to be Sanjay
Gandhi’s biological daughter; Paul said that the movie shows the entire
Gandhi family in wrong light.
Her advocate also told the court
that Madhur Bhandarkar, the director of the movie has also accepted that
only 30% of the movie is based on true facts.
"This is purely a commercial venture and it has nothing to do with education or documentation of that era," Singh said.
On
the other hand, an advocate of Madhur Bhandarkar, Senior advocate Dhruv
Mehta said that the movie has fictitious characters and has cleared the
scrutiny of CBFC. "In any film, a dramatisation of historical events
cannot be curbed. CBFC has carefully considered the film and granted
certificate... It is my fundamental right of expression and it cannot be
curbed," he said.
