The Madras High Court has ruled against a petition that aimed to stop the screening of Dhurandhar The Revenge during the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections. The court, on the admission stage, chose not to provide any interim relief regarding the film’s exhibition.
A bench led by Chief Justice Sanjay A. Darmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan dismissed the request, which sought to halt the film’s showing in theaters and on streaming platforms until the election results were announced.
The petition originated from a resident of Madurai, who argued that the film’s screening during the elections could disrupt the fairness of the voting process. The plea stated that displaying the movie in this sensitive period could influence voters, potentially undermining free and fair elections.
However, the court found no sufficient grounds to agree with the petition and allowed the film to continue screening.
Dhurandhar The Revenge has gained considerable attention as it touches on political themes, contributing to the concerns raised in court. Despite these objections, the film’s exhibition will carry on.
Directed by Aditya Dhar and featuring Ranveer Singh, the movie is proving to be a major box office hit in 2026. It quickly reached the Rs 500 crores mark in just three days after its release, continuing to attract large audiences across theaters in the country.
