The actors and makers of web series "Tandav" on Amazon Prime vehemently urged the Supreme Court on Wednesday to grant them protection from arrest in several FIRs registered across the country, but the top court declined to accede to their request, and instead made some sharp oral observations on the show's content and stressed that freedom of speech is not absolute.
The petitioners were represented by senior advocates Fali Nariman, Mukul Rohatgi (for Amazon India Creative Head Aparna Purohit), senior advocate Sidharth Luthra, and advocate Siddharth Agarwal (for actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub).
Agarwal argued that the views of a character depicted in the web series cannot be ascribed to the actor's personal view. His client was contacted to play a certain role, and it had nothing to with him as an individual, he told a bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan, R. Subhash Reddy and M.R. Shah.

ReviewFar from being a gripping political drama, 'Tandav' is like a soap opera.Saraswati DatarTandav, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, is yet another high profile offering from the streaming platform that brings together a talented star cast, and a high-profile director who is best known for directing Salman Khan-led blockbusters. Safe to say then that quite like his movies, Ali Abbas Zafar keeps his debut web series Tandav stylish yet shallow and simplistic. Though he gets nine episodes between 30-to 39 minutes to play with, Ali and writer Gaurav Solanki barely manage to scratch the surface of their characters, choosing masala over meaningful storytelling. Tandav sticks to reaffirming our existing perception of politicians, instead of offering any insightful commentary, or entertaining civic lessons. The show kicks off quite earnestly, weaving in issues like farmers protesting about their lands being usurped, Muslim youth being illegally detained or killed,...

Director Anurag Kashyap is known for his quirky and sharp sense of humor, and now he’s all set to take on Bollywood’s item songs. The new song video of Ugly, called ‘Nichod de‘, mocks item songs and their corny music and lyrics. This hilariously tacky video features Bollywood hottie Surveen Chawla in the avatar of a sultry student seducing her professor in a library.
The song video is interspersed with laugh-out-loud scenes where Inspector Jadhav (played by Girish Kulkarni) tries hard to describe the song to his boss Acp Bose (played by Ronit Roy) who is trying to find the whereabouts of an item song dancer Rakhi Malhotra (played by Surveen Chawla). The song is sung by Bharka Swaroop Saxena & G.V. Prakash Kumar, lyrics of this song are written by Gaurav Solanki with music by G.V. Prakash Kumar.
