After gaining clearance from the Delhi Court, Hansal Mehta's directorial film, "Faraaz" is ready to appear in about a hundred cinema halls across India, today. Based on the Holey Artisan terrorist attack in 2016, the film has been a topic of much controversy in Bangladesh.

Yesterday, the Delhi High court permitted the release of the film, despite the pleas of the victims' families.
