Originally set to release on July 11, Udaipur Files faced a stay on its release. The Vijay Raaz-starrer is inspired by the 2022 murder of Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal. After a prolonged legal battle, the Delhi High Court on Thursday (August 7, 2025) rejected a plea to halt the film’s release. The appeal, filed by Mohammad Javed one of the accused in the murder case, challenged the order granting the film its certification, but was ultimately dismissed by the court.

After the Delhi High Court dismissed the plea, Udaipur Files hit theatres on August 8 (Friday). The bench, comprising Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, ruled that the petitioner had failed to present a prima facie case in his favour.
