The Kerala High Court has decided to allow the release of Kaalam Paranja Kadha, a film inspired by the Venjaramoodu mass murder case, despite legal challenges. The case involves Afan, accused of murdering five relatives, with the trial currently ongoing in the Principal Sessions Court in Thiruvananthapuram. The court rejected a plea from the accused's father, who argued that the film's release could influence the trial and harm the family's dignity. The High Court noted that films based on real events are common and questioned the validity of the concerns raised. The film received a U/A 16+ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which stated that the film does not directly replicate real-life events and aims to address broader social issues like drug abuse and online gambling. Ultimately, the court's ruling permits the film to be released while the real-life case continues to unfold.
