Udaipur Files: Supreme Court Hearing to Decide Film's Fate Amidst Controversy

The crime drama thriller film 'Udaipur Files,' based on the murder of Kanhaiya Lal Sahu, is currently embroiled in controversy. The film is based on the sensational and gruesome event that shook the entire nation when Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor from Udaipur, was brutally murdered in broad daylight.

Udaipur Files: The film 'Udaipur Files,' based on the infamous 2022 Kanhaiya Lal Sahu murder case, is once again in the headlines. A crucial hearing is scheduled in the Supreme Court today regarding the film, which will determine whether the film will be released or if its release will be further halted. It is noteworthy that the petition to halt the film's release has been filed by Mohammad Javed, an accused in the Kanhaiya Lal Sahu murder case. 

The accused argues that the film should not be released until the court proceedings are completed, as the film's content attempts to portray them as guilty without a trial.

What is the entire matter?

'Udaipur Files' is based on the heinous murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal Sahu in Udaipur in 2022. This tragic event shook the entire nation. Controversy erupted soon after the film's trailer was released. Mohammad Javed, the accused, filed a petition in the Supreme Court, claiming that the film is creating prejudice against them in the public's mind and could affect the judicial process against them.

The petition states that the film's release should be stayed until the case is resolved in court. Furthermore, the petitioner has also alleged that the trailer and promotional material of the film are portraying them and other accused as guilty beforehand.

Film Producers' Arguments

Meanwhile, the film producers claim that 'Udaipur Files' is a crime-thriller based on a true incident and fully respects the judicial process. According to the producers, the film aims to bring the truth of the gruesome incident to the public, not to condemn any accused without legal proceedings.

The film producers have also challenged the Delhi High Court's July 10 order in the Supreme Court, which imposed an interim stay on the film's release. The Supreme Court will also hear this matter today.

Eyes on the Film's Release Date

The release date of 'Udaipur Files' will become clear after today's hearing in the Supreme Court. If the court orders the removal of the stay on the film, its release date may be determined soon. Currently, both the film producers and the film industry, as well as the audience, are eagerly awaiting the court's decision.

Public Opinion is Divided

Mixed reactions are being seen among the public regarding 'Udaipur Files.' One segment views it as an attempt to bring the truth to light, while the other opposes it, considering it an interference in the judicial process. Some people believe that the film could send a wrong message to society, while supporters say that it is essential to reveal the truth. According to legal experts, the Supreme Court will consider two things in this matter:

  • Whether the film could affect the judicial process?
  • Whether the film contains any content that portrays the accused as guilty before the trial?

If the Supreme Court does not see such a threat, the path for the film's release may be cleared. However, if the court believes that it will affect the trial, the release may remain suspended.
