The Supreme Court on June 17, 2025, sharply rebuked Karnataka’s ban on Kamal Haasan’s film Thug Life, citing that CBFC certification entitles a movie to be shown, and that “mob and vigilante rule” cannot obstruct legal screening. It reprimanded both the state government and Karnataka High Court for demanding an apology from Haasan over his remark that “Kannada was born from Tamil,” deeming such demands beyond the court’s remit. The bench granted Karnataka one day to report on implementation and transferred the case to the Supreme Court, scheduling the next hearing for Thursday. (PC: Hindustan Times)
