The suspension of CBFC certification for the award-winning Indian thriller movie 'S Durga' aka 'Sexy Durga' has been challenged before the Kerala high court.

An order in this regard was issued during the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, from November 21-28th. On a plea by the movie's director, a single bench of the court had on November 21 ordered for allowing screening of the movie at IFFI and a division bench had declined to stay such a directiv e.

Through the order issued on November 28th, which was the last day of IFFI, the CBFC had suspended the film's certification and had prohibited its further public exhibition.
