A citizen in Ujjain district of Madhya Pradesh has lodged a police complaint against the latest Hindi movie ‘Dhurandhar,’ raising strong objections to the use of abusive and derogatory language in the film.
The complainant, Manoj Purohit, submitted his complaint at the Kotwali police station in Shajapur town of Ujjain, the home district of MP Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav.

“It is ironic that the police book any person for using abusive language in public, but no action is being taken against the actors, producers, and directors of ‘Dhurandhar,’ which contains numerous abuses and derogatory terms,” Purohit told media persons after lodging his complaint.
“The language of the film is shameful. No one can watch it with their family. I was extremely embarrassed and shocked while watching the movie,” he averred.
“I demand that the police register a case under BNS Section 296 against the film’s producer-director Aditya Dhar, its actors, and others involved in its making,” Purohit stated.
He also questioned the role of the censor board in clearing the film.
“Either the officials of the censor board are blind, or they are accepting money to clear such movies for public screening,” Purohit alleged.
Kotwali police station in-charge Santosh Waghela confirmed that a complaint has been received in the matter.
“We are investigating the matter, and further action will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation,” the police official said.
