Why are Hindus tested every time, says HC during hearing of plea for ban on Adipurush film
Lucknow, Jun 27 (PTI) The Allahabad High Court on Tuesday expressed concern over the way key characters of the epic Ramayana have been depicted in the controversial movie "Adipurush", saying "Hindus are tolerant but why they are tested every time".
The Lucknow bench, which was hearing petitions seeking a ban on the film, also issued a notice to the movie's Hindi dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir after allowing an application for his impleadment.
The bench declined to accept the contention that a disclaimer shown at the start of the film makes it clear it is not the Ramayana.
