Additional
District
Judge
A.S.
Jayachandra,
in
an
ex-parte
interim
order,
restrained
the
movie's
director
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and
Eros
promoters
from
releasing
the
movie
till
further
orders.
The
court's
order
came
on
a
suit
filed
by
six
petitioners,
including
Prabhu
Samaj
Dharmik
Ram
Leela
Committee,
saying
the
movie
hurt
the
religious
sentiments
of
Hindus
as
it
contains
sex,
violence
and
vulgarity.
The
plea
said
the
word
'Ram
Leela'
is
associated
with
Lord
Rama
and
people
will
also
watch
this
movie
with
an
expectation
that
it
would
be
related
to
his
life
but
the
film
will
hurt
their
sentiments.
It
added
that
the
name
of
the
movie
should
be
changed
as
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
mythology
and
it
is
misleading.
The
title
Ram
Leela,
understood
by
Hindus
as
enactment
of
the
life
and
story
of
Lord
Ram
(Maryada
Purushottam),
is
nowhere
doing
the
same.
On
the
contrary,
the
film
is
portraying
sex,
violence
and
vulgarity,
which
is
deeply
hurting
the
religious
sentiments
and
feelings
of
Hindus,
the
petitioners
said.
Earlier,
the
Delhi
High
Court
had
refused
to
ban
the
movie
and
also
imposed
a
cost
of
Rs.50,000
on
an
NGO
which
had
moved
the
plea
against
the
film.
