Calcutta High Court Rejects Plea Seeking Stay on Srijit Mukherji’s Gumnaami
The Calcutta High Court has dismissed Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking a stay on the release of Gumnaam. The film is based on the death mystery national freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. 

Hearing the case, the bench said that when the censor board has already cleared the film, why the petitioner moved to the court, asked the Bench. Justice Samaddar said how can you accuse anyone of distorting facts when no fact has been established beyond.

Srijit Mukherji shared the news on his official twitter handle. “The PIL case against the release of Gumnaami at Calcutta High Court has been dismissed. The Honourable Justice Samaddar said how can you accuse anyone of distorting facts when no fact has been established beyond.”


Gumnaami is a film based on Gumnaami baba who was assumed to be the legendary freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Baba led the life as Hindu saint in Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh in the 1970s or 80s. Netaji Bose died in a plane crash in 1945 which has been doubted by many.

There are lots of speculations about it but most of us are clueless about the truth behind these speculations. The film is based on the book named as “Conundrum” written by Anuj Dhar and Chandrachur Ghose which is actually based on the hearings of Mukherjee Commission.

The film will show three popular theories related with Netaji’s death. These three theories are, he died in the plane crash in Taiwan, he died in Russia and the other theory is that he died at an older age while living a secret life as Gumnaami baba.
