Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad boils over ‘Yadav Ji Ki Love Story’ as Bharatiya Kisan Union (Mulayam) defies Supreme Court order with street protests. Despite the court’s February 25 dismissal of a ban plea, farmers’ group insists the film wounds Yadav pride.
Activists flooded streets, memorandums in hand, pressing district admin for swift action. ‘Ban it now, or face our wrath at Jantar Mantar,’ they warned, banners waving high. Allegations center on the title and plot allegedly tarnishing community honor, fueling potential discord.
The rally pulsed with energy—slogans rent the air, demands grew louder. Leaders painted the movie as a deliberate slight, urging preemptive curbs before its Friday debut. Supreme Court had countered: no constitutional violation in the name, no solid proof of malice unlike prior disputes.
This defiance spotlights friction between judiciary and grassroots movements. Filmmakers celebrate the verdict as a win for creativity, but protesters see it as elite indifference. As release nears, theaters brace for backlash, admins scramble for solutions.
Broader implications emerge for Indian cinema: how far can titles push boundaries? With unions mobilizing, the saga tests democratic tolerance, blending romance reels with real-world rifts. Expect more drama as Friday unfolds.
