The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine concerns raised over the film Dhurandhar: The Revenge, following a petition that alleged the movie may contain sensitive content related to India’s armed forces.
The plea was filed by Deepak Kumar, a Head Constable (Communications) with the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), who claimed that certain scenes in the film could potentially violate provisions of the Official Secrets Act. He argued that the movie allegedly depicts tactical procedures of Indian security forces and reveals details about undercover operations.
According to the petitioner, the film shows operational methods used by Indian agents in foreign locations, including sensitive strategies and mission-related details, which could pose risks to national security. He further stated that the CBFC does not always consult intelligence officials while certifying films that involve defence-related themes.
The High Court observed that such concerns cannot be dismissed outright, noting that even fictional films may have real-world implications if they portray strategic or confidential procedures. The bench stated that the matter requires careful examination by the appropriate authorities.
While disposing of the petition, the Court directed the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the CBFC to treat the plea as a formal representation and take a considered decision on the issues raised. It also instructed that the petitioner be informed of any action or decision taken in this regard.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge features Ranveer Singh in the lead role and has reportedly emerged as a major box office success.
