Cannot allow mob, vigilante to take over streets, film 'Thug life' must be released in Karnataka: SC.

  • On June 17, 2025, the Supreme Court in New Delhi ordered that Kamal Haasan's film 'Thug Life' must be allowed to screen in Karnataka despite local opposition.
  • The order responded to threats and a ban triggered by Haasan's remark that 'Kannada was born out of Tamil,' which led to calls for a boycott and violent warnings.
  • The Court condemned mobs and vigilante groups for trying to block the film and stated the Karnataka government must uphold the rule of law and protect screening rights.
  • The bench emphasized that any film certified by the CBFC must be released, saying, 'You cannot put a gun on people's head and say don't watch the movie,' and warned against unconstitutional restrictions.
  • The judgment reinforced freedom of expression and indicated the State must prevent violence that hinders film releases, with a hearing on June 19 set to address ongoing issues.
