- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,December 08 2011]
The movie has earned 45 crores in 9 days.... People are loving it much to the hatred of self proclaimed moral policia. A city court had ordered police to book Vidya Balan for obscenity.
Nampally criminal courts ordered the Nallakunta police station in the city to book a criminal case against Vidya. The court has passed the order following a petition filed by an advocate S. K. Azad.
The judge asked police to book the actress under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code and also under Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.
Police was also asked to take action against public display of posters and promotional advertisements of the movie.
The petitioner said the posters and hoardings of the film were spoiling the minds of the people and causing harm to the society.
Produced by Balaji Telefilms, starring Vidya, Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor, 'The Dirty Picture' was released all over the country Friday.
There have been protests by anti-obscenity activists in parts of Hyderabad and other towns in the state during last two days.
'The Dirty Picture' before its release had landed into trouble when former south Indian actress Silk Smitha's brother V. Naga Varaprasad Rao moved the Andhra Pradesh High Court, objecting to the way her late sister was portrayed in the film.
