Gujarat High Court Dismisses Plea Alleging Insult to Baloch Community in Film Dhurandhar

The Gujarat High Court dismissed a petition challenging allegedly offensive dialogue against the Baloch community in the film Dhurandhar.

The matter arose after members of the Baloch community alleged that a line spoken by Sanjay Dutt portrayed their community negatively and amounted to hate speech, seeking directions against the filmmakers and the Central Board of Film Certification.

During the hearing, the filmmakers informed the Court that the disputed dialogue had already been muted in the final version of the film.

Recording that the primary grievance no longer survived, the Court held the writ petition to be infructuous and dismissed it without further directions.
