Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is happy and relieved after the Supreme Court cleared the decks for the release of his movie \u201cIndu Sarkar,\u201d July 27.<\/p>\n

\n

The apex court dismissed the plea of a woman, who claimed to be the biological daughter of late Sanjay Gandhi, for a stay on the screening of the film, which is set against the backdrop of the Emergency.<\/p>\n

The film portrays characters inspired by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been through hell in the last few days but I am happy and relieved today. It is a great judgement, I am so happy that the Honorable Supreme Court has held the artistic rights of a filmmaker,\u201d Bhandarkar told PTI.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke to my lawyer, I have not gone through the entire judgement but whatever I know about it, I feel it\u2019s one of the best judgements. It has set a different precedence for every filmmaker in the future,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s three-judge bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra said that the film is an \u201cartistic expression\u201d within the parameters of law and there was no justification to stall its scheduled release tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this film, I have been fighting everywhere – from political parties to the censor board and then in courts. I am a filmmaker who wants to narrate good stories to the audience,\u201d Bhandarkar said.<\/p>\n

The director said he also brought to the court\u2019s notice that he had carried out the cuts as suggested by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The censor board has granted a \u2018U\/A\u2019 certificate to the film.<\/p>\n

The film stars Kirti Kulhari, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Anupam Kher, Tota Roy Chowdhury and Supriya Vinod in lead roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
