Kamal
Rashid
Khan,
also
known
as
KRK,
is
indeed
a
happy
man.
His
small
time
film
Desh
Drohi
that
made
big
news
a
couple
of
months
due
to
it's
'supposedly'
explosive
theme
and
treatment
is
continuing
to
be
in
news
this
New
Year
as
well.
While
the
biggest
of
the
film
disappear
within
four
weeks
of
making
their
money,
Desh
Drohi
is
ensuring
that
even
amidst
high
profile
releases
like
Chandni
Chowk
To
China,
Raaz
-
The
Mystery
Continues,
Luck
By
Chance
and
Victory,
it
makes
it's
presence
felt.
And
that's
because
the
ban
on
Desh
Drohi
has
been
removed
by
High
Court
of
Mumbai.
A
Jagdish
Sharma
directed
film
Desh
Drohi
was
banned
by
the
Maharashtra
state
government
for
60
days
under
the
Bombay
Cinema
Regulation
Act.
This
was
because
there
were
accusations
that
the
movie
was
cashing
in
on
the
prevailing
anti
immigrant
sentiments
in
Maharashtra.
At
that
time,
the
head
of
Mumbai
office
of
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
had
opined
that
the
movie
had
scenes
that
were
derogatory
to
a
particular
community.
Even
Maharashtra
Navnirman
Sena
had
expressed
their
protests
against
the
movie
while
the
Mumbai
police
had
served
a
notice
for
a
special
screening
to
find
any
objectionable
content
that
might
trigger
unrest.
Due
to
the
protests
and
problems
with
exhibitors,
the
release
date
of
the
movie
was
under
immense
trouble
as
first
it
was
postponed
by
a
week
from
7th
to
14th
November
and
in
addition
it
was
also
banned
for
release
in
Maharashtra.
In
the
meantime,
the
producer
of
the
movie
had
petitioned
the
Bombay
High
Court
to
lift
the
ban
on
the
movie.
However,
all
is
well
for
Kamal
R
Khan
as
not
just
has
the
ban
been
lifted
from
his
film,
even
Section
6
(which
resulted
in
the
ban)
has
been
scrapped.
This
section
allowed
the
State
Government
to
ban
a
film.
But
now
as
per
this
historical
judgment
for
the
whole
film
industry,
in
future
no
film
can
be
banned
by
State
Government.
With
the
judgment
in
their
favor,
the
makers
of
the
film
have
intensified
the
release
plans
for
the
film
and
would
now
be
bringing
it
on
23th
Jan
2009
in
Maharashtra,
the
day
that
also
sees
the
release
of
Raaz
-
The
Mystery
Continues
and
Slumdog
Millionaire.

Kamal
R
Khan,

film
