Gujarat HC To Hear Baloch Community Plea Against Alleged Hate Speech Dialogue In Certified Film Dhurandhar

The Gujarat High Court will hear a petition filed by members of the Baloch community objecting to a dialogue in the CBFC-certified film Dhurandhar.

The petitioners allege that a particular line delivered by a character amounts to hate speech and unfairly stereotypes the community, and have sought legal action against the film’s director, Aditya Dhar.

They have prayed for modification of the CBFC certificate and a restraint on the film’s exhibition, broadcast or streaming unless the impugned dialogue is permanently deleted or muted.

The plea also seeks a fresh review by the CBFC to ensure compliance with constitutional safeguards. The matter is listed for hearing on Wednesday.
