Chaos at Chhaava screening in Gujarat: Intoxicated man vandalizes multiplex screen to “attack” Aurangzeb in Bharuch February 18, 2025 at 07:24PM

A screening of Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, turned chaotic in Bharuch when a man vandalized the silver screen of a multiplex. The incident occurred on Sunday night at RK Cinemas during the final show, scheduled at 11:45 PM. The accused, identified as Jayesh Vasava, was allegedly intoxicated when he stormed towards the screen, damaged it with a fire extinguisher, and tore it apart. Police confirmed his arrest on Monday.

Motive Behind the Vandalism According to officials from Bharuch A Division Police Station, Vasava became overwhelmed during a scene depicting the execution of Sambhajiraje Maharaj by Aurangzeb. In an emotional outburst, he attempted to "attack Aurangzeb" on screen. The multiplex staff intervened and restrained him before further damage could occur. Multiplex Management Reacts RK Cinema’s general manager, RV Sood, shared details about the financial loss and disruption caused by the incident. “I received a call from the staff of Bluechip Cinema informing me about the vandalism. We immediately removed the individual from the auditorium to prevent further harm. The damage is estimated to be around Rs 1.5 lakh. Monday’s scheduled screenings were affected, but repairs were prioritized, and we aimed to resume operations by night.”

To manage the situation, affected audience members were given the choice of a refund or continuing the film in an adjacent auditorium. While some opted for refunds, others continued watching the movie on a different screen. Legal Action Taken Against the Accused A police complaint filed by the cinema management also states that Vasava verbally abused a female staff member and threatened personnel on duty. As a result, he has been booked under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for damaging property and using obscene language. Additionally, a separate case has been registered against him under the Prohibition Act, given his intoxicated state at the time of the incident.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
