Udaipur Files Movie: Sons Break Down Watching Beheading Scene in ‘Udaipur Files’; Film on Kanhaiya Lal Murder Case Released Nationwide
Udaipur Files Movie – The much-anticipated ‘Udaipur Files’, which is based on the tragic murder in 2022 of tailor Kanhaiya Lal Sahu, was released on 4,500 Indian screens on Friday. It has triggered many emotional responses. The most touching moment occurred during a screening in Udaipur’s Urban Square Mall when Kanhaiya Lal’s sons Yash & Tarun watched the film with their father’s photo.
As the brothers watched a brutal re-enactment, the emotional impact of this infamous event was felt. Witnesses said that their silence turned into an uncontrollable emotion during the scene. A family friend present at the film screening said, “It was like we were living that day again.“
The Crime that Shocked the Nation
Kanhaiya Lal, a Udaipur tailor, was killed in his shop in June 2022 by two men, after he reportedly posted on social media that he supported BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. This brutal murder, which was filmed, caused a national outcry and brought to light the dangers of hate crimes.
Controversy, Legal Challenges
The release of “Udaipur files” has caused controversy, and there have been accusations that it vilifies certain communities. The Delhi High Court rejected a request to stop screenings on the day of the release. It said that the petitioner had failed to demonstrate how the film could harm the right to fair trials. The Delhi High Court clarified that the content of the movie would not affect judicial proceedings.
The film was originally scheduled to be released on July 11, 2024. However, it faced numerous delays because of legal and administrative obstacles. The Central Board of Film Certification cleared the film in August after a brief stay. This re-ignited the debate about the balance between creative freedom and social duty.
The Public’s Reaction and Emotional Impact
The movie is a mixture of memories and pain for the family of Kanhaiya. Yash, Tarun, and their families continue to deal with trauma. They attend hearings in court for justice. We want justice. “No movie can remove our pain”, one of them said after leaving the cinema.
The reactions to “Udaipur files” have been varied. Some have praised the raw depiction of the crime in the film, while others say it could lead to tensions. The producers claim that they wanted to honour the victim and make sure such incidents are never forgotten.
National Release
The ‘Udaipur files’ are attracting crowds in India despite the controversy. It is a reminder that one of the worst hate crimes of recent times took place. The release of this movie has sparked important conversations about justice and community harmony.
