Censorship – The Arts
The Supreme Court made it clear on Tuesday (June 17, 2025) that the rights of filmmakers and theatre owners to release movies cannot be curtailed by threats of arson and violence while underscoring that the Karnataka government must ensure that Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life is screened across the State.
“We cannot have mobs and vigilante groups take over our streets. We cannot allow this to happen. Rule of law must prevail,” Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, heading a Vacation Bench also comprising Justice Manmohan, addressed the Karnataka government side.
