All About Hamaare Barah

"Hamaare Barah" is, without a doubt, the title of a controversial feature film in Hindi. It has amply gathered criticism or what we more often affix controversy. 

Though we have feature films with more or less identical titles like Do Aankhen, Barah Haath ( 1957) and Barah Haath, Do Aankhen (1997) too. However, today's youths must be unaware of the previous two films.

1957 film depicts: Adinath, a humane jail warden, takes it upon himself to rehabilitate six hardened criminals. He then chalks out a plan that takes them to a barren farm where they learn the meaning of hard work.

1997 film further depicts that  Sharda and Vinod love each other, but Sharda's gangster brother does not accept their union and gets Vinod killed. Sharda flees but returns after 20 years for vengeance.

The film has been examined at several levels by an eight-member committee. Some amendments were suggested by the committee, which have been followed. 

It was also reported that following a few cuts in the film, a U/A certificate was duly issued.  The Film Certification Board was told to form a three-member committee with at least one Muslim member in it. 

Live Law. in reports: The Supreme Court on June 13 suspended the screening of the film "Hamare Baarah", until disposal on merits of the case pending over its release before the Bombay High Court. The film, scheduled to release on June 14, is alleged to be derogatory towards the Islamic faith and married Muslim women in India."

To the court's question about the objections to some dialogues in the film, it was said that the filmmakers had removed them. The film reportedly deals with the problem of overpopulation but with certain alleged concerns.
