Supreme Court Slams Bengal Government For The Ban On The Kerala Story —

Sudipto Sen's The Kerala Story, which is doing phenomenal business across the nation, has been banned in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. The makers were unhappy with the decision of the state governments, and hence they decided to challenge their decision.

The petition of The Kerala Story Makers vs State Government was heard today in the Supreme Court. A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha slammed the state government for banning the film in the state while other parts of the country did not have any issues. The matter has been adjourned until next Wednesday.

The SC stated, "If the film can run in other parts of the country, why should the State of West Bengal ban the film? If the public does not think that the film is not worth seeing, they will not see it. It is running in other parts of the country which have similar demographic profile as West Bengal. Why should you not allow a film to run?"
