Annu Kapoor starrer Hamare Baarah has finally received the green light from the Bombay High Court for its release on June 7, 2024.

Hamare Baarah's release gets a green light from the Bombay High Court
As per an India Today report, the announcement came on Friday, June 7, 2024, following the filmmakers' consent to remove two dialogues from their movie. The High Court declared its decision, citing the need to "balance the equities," as per the report.
The court also suggested that "viewing the film may be necessary to reach a conclusion regarding the conflicting arguments." Moreover, the court purportedly suggested forming a committee of three members, with at least one member being Muslim, to view the film and provide feedback.
Earlier, as reported by the Free Press Journal, the Bombay High Court delayed the release of the Annu Kapoor starrer until June 14, 2024. Initially planned for release on June 7, this decision was made following a petition filed by Azhar Tambol, who objected to specific dialogues in the movie's trailers shared on social media.
The Central Bureau of Film Certification (CBFC) informed the bench that although it had issued a certificate for the movie, it lacked jurisdiction over the trailers released on YouTube.
Advocate Advait Sethna, representing the petitioner, mentioned that the film underwent extensive scrutiny by an eight-member committee, which proposed certain alterations. Following the implementation of these suggestions, the movie obtained a U/A certification.
Sethna also noted that the filmmakers had deleted the contentious dialogue from the film. However, the court raised doubts about how the petitioner had viewed the removed dialogues and emphasized that the CBFC had no jurisdiction over trailers released on the internet.
The judges cast doubt on the petitioner's eligibility to file the petition, expressing thoughts about establishing a precedent for citizens to put a hold on movie releases. The petitioner's advocate informed the court that they had served a copy of the petition to the movie makers, but no one appeared for the hearing.
