Gunjan Saxena: Delhi HC Refuses to Put Stay on the Streaming of Janhvi Kapoor's Netflix Film

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to stay at this stage streaming of Netflix movie 'Gunjan Saxena - The Kargil Girl', on the Centre's plea that it depicts the Indian Air Force (IAF) in bad light. Justice Rajiv Shakdher asked the Centre as to why it did not approach the court before the release of the movie on Over The Top (OTT) platform, and said an injunction cannot be granted now as the film is already streaming. Gunjan Saxena: Delhi HC Disposes Plea Seeking Deletion of Scenes in Janhvi Kapoor’s Netflix Film

Additional Solicitor General Sanjay Jain, representing the Centre, said the movie has dented the image of the IAF as it showed that the force is gender-biased, which is not correct. The high court sought response of Dharma Productions Private Limited, which produced the film, and Netflix on the Centre's plea to stop streaming of the movie. Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl Projects the Armed Forces in a Bad Light, ‘It Never Happens the Way It Has Been Shown’, Says Ex-Navy Officer Sandhya Suri
