After an activist Anil Pradhan filed a PIL against Bajrangi Bhaijaan for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments, the Allahabad High Court today dismissed a petition seeking a ban on the release of Salman Khan-starrer “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”

A division bench, comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice Yashwant Verma, dismissed PIL, citing the reason that our religion is rich and that the title of the film will not hurt the sentiments of the people. It also stated that the PIL does not contain any convincing reason to ban the film.

The activist Anil Pradhan had alleged that some sequences in the film are hurtful towards Hindu sentiments. He reasoned in the PIL stating some scenes are hurtful and that the release of the film should be banned in order to keep harmony between the majority and minority community.
