Do you want us to ban all movies on Hindu deities?: SC rejects plea against 'Mahaprabhu Jagannath'

The Supreme Court has rejected a petition by the Odisha government that sought to block the release of the animated movie 'Mahaprabhu Jagannath'. The state's plea contended that the film portrays Lord Jagannath like 'Doremon' and 'Spiderman'. In response, the bench asked if they should prohibit the representation of Hindu Gods and Goddesses in all forms of art, remarking, "If you want, we will pass such an order."
