'Mahaprabhu Jagannath' release after Rath Yatra

The film, based on a YouTube web series, already had approval from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), but its release was paused by the Odisha High Court after some complaints.
While petitioners wanted its certification revoked, producers worried about major financial losses.
In the end, the Supreme Court stood up for creative freedom and warned against setting a precedent that stifles art.
