OTT platforms are coming under increasing scrutiny, particularly due to concerns over the vulgar content they host, which doesn’t require censorship approval.
In a different scenario, a recent release titled ‘I Killed Bapu’ on the Zee5 OTT platform has found itself in legal trouble.
The Bombay High Court has appointed a three-member panel of judges to view the film and provide a report. Their task is to determine whether the content of the film has caused any societal disharmony and if it portrays Mahatma Gandhi as responsible for India’s partition.
Two retired judges will assess the film, and the court has ordered that the report be submitted within two weeks.
Notably, ‘I Killed Bapu’ has not garnered any attention, and reviews of the film are poor.
