Bombay High Court to Review Yogi Adityanath Film
A court in Mumbai will watch a movie called 'Ajey: The Untold Story' to decide if it can be shown.
The movie is about a politician, Yogi Adityanath.
The people who made the movie are upset because the group that checks movies (CBFC) did not let them show it.
The court will now review the movie and the CBFC's reasons.
The CBFC had many issues initially but later reduced them.
The court also said the CBFC did not follow fair rules.
Bombay High Court will watch 'Ajey: The Untold Story' before ruling on its certification.
The film is inspired by a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The CBFC initially raised 29 objections but dropped some.
CBFC denied certification, citing violations of film guidelines.
The court criticized the CBFC for not following principles of natural justice.
