"The meaning assigned to Ram-Leela and Raasleela in Encyclopedia Britannica is a well researched meaning and prima facie no film-maker has right to use the title ' Ram- Leela, Raasleela or alike words which are used in India since ages for a particular purpose," the court said. The bench said, "We are only concerned with the use of word ' Ram-Leela' in the title of the film which hurts the sentiments of billions of peoples not only in India but all over the world." The petition had contended that the film was hurting religious sentiments of Hindus and its title ' Ramleela' was giving a wrong message to society as Lord Ram's 'leela' (act) had great impact on Indian society.īesides, Centre, state government, Central Film Certification Board, UP's Chief Secretary, Eros International and Bhansali had been made a party in the petition. The film starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh was released on November 15. The petitioner had prayed for cancellation of Censor Board certification given to the film on November 1 and sought that controversial and objectionable dialogues be removed from the film. The Lucknow bench of the court comprising justices Devi Prasad Singh and Ashok Pal Singh passed the order to ban the film on a petition filed by Maryada Purshottam Bhagwan Ramleela Samiti, Bahraich. The Allahabad High Court today banned director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's romantic saga " Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela" in Uttar Pradesh.
