Supreme Court on Kamal Haasan's film case: Mob, vigilantes can't take over streets, Karnataka must ensure 'Thug life' release

The Supreme Court has strongly criticized the Karnataka government for failing to ensure the screening of Kamal Haasan's film "Thug Life," emphasizing that mob rule cannot supersede the rule of law. The court directed the state to respond by June 18, asserting that a CBFC-certified film must be released and protected, regardless of public sentiment or threats.
