The petition filed against the film ‘Yadav Ji Ki Love Story’ was rejected by the Supreme Court on Wednesday (February 25, 2026). The petitioner has opposed the title of the film and said that the Yadav community has been shown in a wrong way. The petitioner also has an objection to the fact that the love story of a girl from Yadav community with a Muslim boy has been shown.
The Supreme Court said, ‘Your main objection is regarding the title of the film, but nowhere in it has any caste been mentioned in a wrong way. This case is different from the film Ghooskhor Pandit. There it seemed that people of one caste were being described as corrupt. Whatever the story of this film is, it is imaginary. It is not right to protest so much about this.
According to the Bar and Bench report, on the petitioner’s objection regarding the love angle between a Yadav girl and a Muslim boy, the court asked, ‘If a Hindu girl marries a Muslim boy, is the fabric of the country being destroyed by this?’ The court said that the title of the film is not an adjective or word which portrays the Yadav community in a negative light.
The bench of Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Ujjal Bhuiyan said, ‘We have studied the material on record. The main objection is that the name of the film misrepresents the Yadav community in the society. Therefore the issue is that the name of the film should be changed. We are not able to understand how the title of the film can tarnish the image of any community, whereas there is no adjective or word in the title of the film which could portray the Yadav community in a wrong light. These objections are completely baseless.
Referring to its order on the film ‘Ghooskhor Pandit’, the court said that ‘Ghooskhor’ means corrupt and when it is associated with any caste, it has a negative connotation. The court said that in this case no such word has been associated with the Yadav community, which would show its image negatively, hence this petition is dismissed. The petitioner still argued that the film claims that it is based on a true incident. However, the court still refused to hear the petition.
The petitioner told the court that the film has not been released yet, but if he finds anything objectionable after its release, then he should be allowed to come to the court. On this the court told the petitioner, ‘Become thick skinned. This is a fictional story. All this will be over in a week. Nobody goes to theater these days. Everyone watches films on phones only.
