Haal (film)

The CBFC demanded a 15 cuts^[1] from the film for religious and sensitivity reason. They wanted to remove the scenes including "beef biriyani"^[2], "Dhwaja Pranaman" (salutation to the flag) and a Rakhi scene.^[3] Even though the changes are made, the CBFC informed to the producer that film would get an A certification.

The filmmakers moved legally to Kerala High Court.^[4][5] The high court judge reviewed the film and ordered to remove some scenes "Dhwaja Pranama" from the film and to release the film. Initially the film received a UA16+ certification and was released on Christmas^[6][7].

The Catholic Congress filed a petition on High court against their film arguing that the film would hurt sentiments of Christian communities, because the film portrays a bishop of Thamarassery as a supporter of Love Jihad^[8][9].
