Delhi High Court Closes PIL After Mirzapur Removes 'Shoorveer' Song, Orders Donation
The Delhi High Court closed a Public Interest Litigation challenging the use of the song "Shoorveer" in "Mirzapur: The Movie" after the producers voluntarily removed the track from the film's climax. The court directed the makers to donate Rs 50,000 to the Army Welfare Fund, with a warning to reconsider costs if the donation is not made within the stipulated time. The song, associated with Maharana Pratap's legacy, was criticized for being used in a fight sequence, which the court deemed "not in good taste."
