Indu Sarkar, a film set in the backdrop of Emergency can be released on Friday. The Supreme Court today dismissed a petition to stop release of the movie filed by a woman who claims that Sanjay Gandhi was her biological father.
“Exhibition of movie is an artistic expression within the parameters of law and there is no justification to curtail the release of the movie,” the court ruled, holding that the celluloid project was not a document. “A film’s script has to have a little dram and exaggeration,” the court observed.
Priya Singh 48, who claims to be the biological daughter of late Sanjay Gandhi,has asked the court to halt the movie that was finally cleared by the Censor board last week. She had alleged the film is “full of concocted facts and is totally derogatory”.
“It is absolutely a great relief… Welcome that the court held that artistic freedom cannot be curbed,” director Madhur Bhandarkar told .
