The EC should decide if the release of the film in the wake of upcoming Lok Sabha elections tilts the balance or benefits a particular political party during the elections. The apex court said that too much time of the court has been wasted already, therefore, the EC should decide whether it is a violation of the model code of conduct.

Vivek Oberoi took to his Twitter account and posted, “With all your blessings, support and love, today we have won in the Honorable Supreme Court! A humble thank you to all of you and to the Indian judiciary for upholding our faith in democracy! Thursday 11th April. Jai Hind #PMNarendraModiWins”
