Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush
Sharma's debut film Loveratri is facing
trouble as a petition has been filed by
advocate Ajaykumar Waghmare saying
that it distorts the Hindu festival of
Navratri and projects women in bad
light. Waghmare, who moved the
Aurangabad bench of the High Court,
said that the film which is being released
around the auspicious festival of Navratri
is sacrilegious in its intention.
Apparently, in May this year Alok Kumar,
President of VHP had also objected to the
name of the film and had asserted in
media reports that they won't be
allowing the film to release in Indian
theatres.
Waghmare in his petition stated, "The
title of the movie has intentionally
affected the standing of Hindus and
Hinduism adversely whereas the
respondents (makers of the film) have
used this name only for their pecuniary
interest. By its title, the respondents seek
to portray Navratri as only a festival full
of lewdness and amorousness.

The petitioner further added, "Navratri is
a nine-day long festival celebrated by
Hindus across India and these nine days
are considered of great religious
significance and whatever is being
shown in the trailers of the film is
nothing but an attempt to defame and
malign the reputation and image of
Hindu religion and all womanhood.
Waghmare also emphasized that the
word Loveratri' be dropped from the
title of the film and some of the scenes
which try to malign and project the
pious Hindu festival and all womanhood
in a derogatory manner be removed. He
also demanded an unconditional
apology from the makers of the film to all
Hindus and woman.
Besides Aayush, Loveratri also stars
Warina Hussain. It is scheduled to release
on October 5, this year.
Navratri is a 9-day festival of Hindus
which is celebrated throughout the
country. It is one of the major festivals of
Hinduism and is celebrated with much
pomp, reverence and fervor. Devotees
fast during the festival and also play
dandiya and garba, whereas it is
celebrated as Durga Puja in the eastern
part of our country. It is dedicated to the
Goddess Durga and her manifestations.
Women and young girls are worshipped
during the festival. Navratri or Durga
Puja is celebrated to commemorate the
triumph of good over evil.
