Petition Filed to Stay Ghooskhor Pandat Release

A legal challenge has emerged against the release of the upcoming Netflix film Ghooskhor Pandat starring Manoj Bajpayee, as a petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking a stay on its theatrical and digital release. The petitioner claims that the title and promotional content could defame the Brahmin community and hurt sentiments.

The move has sparked debate within the industry about artistic freedom versus cultural sensitivities, with supporters of the film arguing that cinema should be a space for bold storytelling, while critics contend that titles and marketing must be handled with care.

Netflix and the filmmakers have not yet issued a public response, but the court’s decision will likely influence the film’s release timeline and promotional strategy. Stakeholders are watching closely as this could have broader implications for creative expression in Indian cinema.
