masti 4
Vivek Oberoi and Riteish Deshmukh are actors who are in court trouble after an FIR was filed against them on grounds that they are promoting vulgarity by the trailer of their next movie Masti 4. The complaint asserts that the trailer is obscene and inappropriate and it is damaging the desire of the people in morality and decency. The FIR has been registered as reported to have been under the section of obscenity and indecent representation.
The case against Vivek Oberoi and Riteish Deshmukh on the Masti 4 trailer is listed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, which address the issues of obscenity and indecent representation. Section 292 is one of them; it is a punishment that falls on a person who produces, markets, or displays dirty content that can corrupt the moral principles of the people. In case the trailer is identified to contain sexually suggestive or indecent contents to the general decency, this section may be used.
Section 293, which deals with the protection of the minors, is another applicable section. It criminalizes the sale or distribution of obscene content to anyone underage (18 years old). As the trailers of the movies are readily available over the internet, this section can be implemented in case the authorities think that such material can harm the young audiences.

Also, Section 294 of the BNS addresses obscene acts or words when in the open. In case of a trailer being published on a social media and any other social service, and it is viewed to be offensive, the authors can be charged under this section. The purpose of these laws is to guard the social morality, and to guard against the openly exhibited vulgar or indecent contents in the streets.
The makers of the film, according to the complaint, have pushed the boundaries of what can be considered humour by being explicit in their content in the name of humour. The complainant claimed that such content is destructive to young viewers and that the actors, producers, and directors behind it immediately take action.
The Masti movie franchise has never been identified to be more of an adult comedy, yet the fourth installment appears to have elicited powerful emotions among some elements of the population. Police have started investigating the issue and further response will be based on the findings of the investigation.
The cast of the film and the accused actors themselves have not given any official reply to the FIR yet. The controversy has raised the debate on censorship and boundaries of adult humour in Indian cinema.
