The producers moved the court against the ban. Consequently, the Supreme Court stayed the ban and said that since the CBFC had cleared the film there could be no reason not to exhibit it. “We are concerned that a film is being banned from being exhibited…expression of a creative content. My constitutional conscience is shocked,” the Chief Justice was quoted as having said. The SC also observed that valuable constitutional rights (right to freedom of speech and expression) are at stake here.
As many of the comments below the trailer indicate, most people are happy about the stay of the ban by the SC; and wanted to reject the political propaganda surrounding it. Many who are fans of Sanjay Leela Bhansali films and fans of Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh were elated. Those who were looking forward to watching a lavishly made, sweeping epic of a film were happy that they would be able to watch the film soon.
