A Bench of Chief Justice Rohini and Justice Rajiv Sahai
Endlaw of Delhi High Court dismissed a PIL 'Nandini Tewari vs Union of India
and other' Writ Petition (Civil) No.6053/2014 on 10th September 2014. The PIL
sought a ban on the release of director Homi Adajania's new movie 'Finding
Fanny' starring Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor. The PIL alleged that the
word "fanny" was vulgar and was a slang and should be removed from
the movie, its songs, posters and banners. It said the dictionary meaning of
the word "fanny" was highly sexually explicit, and using the word in
the movie will hurt the feelings of the citizens of India, especially minor
children. It said that allowing such words in films and television will pollute
children's minds. It also challenged the UA certificate given to this movie.
The film released on Friday 12th September 2014.
