The petitioner raised concerns over the film\u2019s content and claimed that certain scenes and references could pose risks to the country\u2019s security and integrity.<\/p>\n<p>In accordance with the plea, the film allegedly depicts operational locations and characters inspired by senior officials and deceased servicemen in a way that might not be within the national interest. The petition further alleged that <em>Dhurandhar 2 <\/em>reveals details related to drugs being worked on by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).<\/p>\n<p>Through the hearing, the Court acknowledged that the film could also be a fictional and entertainment-driven work, but observed that the problems raised within the petition couldn&#8217;t be dismissed outright. \u201cEven when the movie is a piece of fiction and imagination and is made for entertainment purposes, the impact of the movie can\u2019t be denied,\u201d the Bench observed.<\/p>\n<p>The Court also noted that concerns surrounding the disclosure of defence-related operational details and military tactics deserved careful consideration by the concerned authorities. \u201cThe censor board must have some guidelines. We&#8217;ll only direct you to contemplate his representation and take an informed decision,\u201d the Court stated through the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Fairly than issuing direct restrictions on the film, the High Court disposed of the plea by directing the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) and the CBFC to treat the petition itself as a proper representation and take an appropriate decision on the problems raised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving regard to the character of issue and concerns raised within the petition, we&#8217;re of the opinion that the concerns raised by the petitioner must be considered and addressed appropriately. We eliminate the writ petition with direction to MIB and CBFC to contemplate all the writ petition as a representation and take an appropriate decision on the problem raised therein,\u201d the Court ordered.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dhurandhar The Revenge <\/em>has already been within the highlight resulting from growing buzz around Ranveer Singh\u2019s role and the film\u2019s high-scale motion narrative. Nonetheless, the newest legal development has now added one other layer of attention to the project, particularly across the depiction of defence and intelligence-related themes in mainstream cinema.<\/p>\n<p>The case also reignites the broader debate around creative freedom versus national security concerns in movies inspired by military operations and real-life events. While filmmakers often draw from reality to reinforce authenticity, courts and certification authorities proceed to face the challenge of balancing cinematic storytelling with sensitive national interests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0BREAKING: Dhurandhar The Revenge\u2019s \u2018Raw and Undekha\u2019 version to drop internationally on Netflix on May 14; to be three minutes longer than the theatrical version<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMore Pages: Dhurandhar The Revenge Box Office Collection<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t, Dhurandhar The Revenge Movie Review<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\">\n<div class=\"tag-links\"><strong>Tags : <\/strong> CBFC, Central Board Of Film Certification, Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Defence Research and Development Organisation, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Delhi HC, Delhi High Court, Dhurandhar \u2013 Part 2, Dhurandhar 2, Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge, Dhurandhar The Revenge, DRDO, News, PIL, Public Interest Litigation, Public Interest Litigation (PIL), The Delhi High Court<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- ATD Ad DIV--><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- ATD Ad DIV--><\/p>\n<h2 alt=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" title=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\">BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/h2>\n<p>Catch us for contemporary Bollywood News, Latest Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Latest Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today &#038; Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \/23843038\/Bollywoodhungama_Article_VideoAd_1x1 -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Union government and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to look at allegations that Dhurandhar The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh, could have violated provisions of the Official Secrets Act by allegedly revealing sensitive operational details linked to India\u2019s armed forces.
