The Delhi High Court has disposed of the PIL over the use of the Shoorveer song in Mirzapur: The Movie after being told the song was removed, with the Bench asking whether the makers should pay costs.
Hearing a PIL objecting to the use of the ‘Shoorveer’ song, composed as a tribute to Maharana Pratap, over gangster scenes in Mirzapur: The Movie, the Delhi High Court asked the CBFC to decide within a week on the producer’s own proposal to replace the song with background music. The Court declined to rule on the merits, observing the issue was for the competent authority, but remarked prima facie that the usage was not in good taste.
