Supreme Court refuses to ban movie title ‘Yadav Ji ki Love Story’, says it does not portray caste in bad light
The Hindu
Supreme Court upholds film title 'Yadav Ji ki Love Story', stating it does not negatively portray the Yadav community.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday (February 25, 2026) rejected a plea seeking a ban or a change in the title of the upcoming film "Yadav Ji ki Love Story," saying the name does not portray the Yadav community in a poor light.
A Bench comprising Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan rejected the petition filed by the chief of the Vishwa Yadav Parishad.

It perused the material on record and noted that the main grievance was that the name of the film reflected the Yadav community in bad light in the society.
“Therefore, the contention is that the name of the film is to be changed. We fail to understand as to how the title of a film can reflect the community in a bad light. The title of the film nowhere has any adjective or any word that portrays the Yadav community in bad light,” Justice Nagarathna said.
The Bench termed the apprehensions as “wholly unfounded” and distinguished its earlier order in a similar case related to ‘Ghooskhor Pandat’ in which it had asked the producer to change the title of that movie.
