Andhra Pradesh High Court Limits Film Screenings
The Andhra Pradesh High Court recently restricted the screening of two controversial films, “Game Changer” and “Daaku Maharaj,” to five shows daily. The decision highlights the judiciary’s role in balancing artistic freedom with public order.
Case Overview
The films were accused of containing content that could incite unrest and disrupt social harmony. Public interest litigations (PILs) were filed, seeking restrictions on their screenings to prevent potential law-and-order issues.
Judicial Reasoning
The court acknowledged the right to freedom of expression but emphasized that it is not absolute. It ruled that the limited screenings would ensure that artistic freedom is preserved while minimizing potential disruptions.
