CBFC Confirms Ranveer Singh Starrer Dhurandhar Has No Connection to Major Mohit Sharma
In a significant development for the makers of Dhurandhar, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has officially concluded that the film bears no resemblance or connection—direct or indirect—to the life of Ashoka Chakra awardee Late Major Mohit Sharma. The fresh review comes after the Delhi High Court instructed the Board to reconsider the objections raised by the war hero’s parents.
The CBFC’s detailed response, submitted following the Court’s December 1, 2025 directive, dismisses all allegations that the film draws inspiration from Major Sharma’s experiences, missions, or personal journey.
CBFC’s Final Stand: Dhurandhar Is Pure Fiction
During the re-examination, the Board focused specifically on the High Court’s question: Does the film depict, resemble, or derive from Major Mohit Sharma’s life in any manner?
The CBFC has categorically stated that:
-
Dhurandhar is a fictional creation with no biographical or factual link to Major Sharma.
-
The film carries a clear disclaimer declaring all characters, storyline elements, and events as entirely fictitious.
-
The Examining Committee had already viewed the film on November 28, 2025, and deemed it suitable for an ‘A’ certificate, subject to minor cuts and modifications.
After revisiting the matter as directed, the Board confirmed that there is no reason to alter its original assessment, reiterating that the film does not mirror any real-life military officer or incident. – CBFC Confirms Ranveer Singh Starrer Dhurandhar Has No Connection to Major Mohit Sharma
No Army Consultation Needed, Says CBFC
During the earlier court proceedings, CBFC counsel Advocate Ashish Dixit had informed the bench that the certification process was ongoing and the Board was already reviewing concerns raised by the petitioners.
While the Court noted that the CBFC could consult the Indian Army if necessary, the Board has now concluded that a referral is not required. Since the film is fictional and does not portray any genuine Special Forces mission, officer, or operation, additional expert consultation was deemed unnecessary.
This conclusion comes after a detailed courtroom exchange wherein Justice Sachin Datta questioned the basis of the petitioners’ claims, pointing out that only the trailer had been released and no concrete evidence of similarity had been presented. – CBFC Confirms Ranveer Singh Starrer Dhurandhar Has No Connection to Major Mohit Sharma
Petitioners’ Concerns vs. Filmmakers’ Stand
The petition filed by Major Sharma’s parents sought to halt the film’s release, alleging:
-
Dhurandhar was being marketed as “inspired by true events”
-
The storyline supposedly echoed aspects of the officer’s life, personality, and military operations
-
Potential violation of dignity, privacy, personality rights, and sensitive military information
On the other hand, the film’s production team, represented by Senior Advocate Saurabh Kirpal, argued that the petition was both premature and misconceived. They maintained that the film is a fictional spy-action narrative and has no overlap with Major Sharma’s life.
The Delhi High Court, while disposing of the petition, had directed the CBFC to thoroughly consider the family’s objections before finalizing the certification process — a step that has now been completed. – CBFC Confirms Ranveer Singh Starrer Dhurandhar Has No Connection to Major Mohit Sharma
What’s Next for Dhurandhar?
With the Board’s fresh review concluding that the objections lack merit, the certification process will now continue under standard guidelines. This paves the way for the film to move closer to its eventual release.
