Vijay Raaz starrer Udaipur Files was slated to release on July 11, 2025. But, petitions were filed to ban the movie. The Delhi High Court, on July 10, had ordered a stay on the release of the film and had asked the Central government to examine its content under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act. Now, according to Bar and Bench, on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting rejected the revision petitions against the film.
In an order, the Central government said that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had already certified the movie and ordered as many as 55 cuts. The government further said that the people who are against the film's release have failed to persuade it to go beyond what has already been done.
Under Secretary Santosh Kumar Maurya said in the order, "Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing facts and findings, and in pursuance of the directions contained in the Order of the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi dated 01.08.2025, the competent authority in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, acting in its capacity as the Revisional Authority under Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, holds that no case is made out for the exercise of powers under sub-section (2) of Section 6 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952. Accordingly, the revision petitions/representations are hereby dismissed."
