Plot
New York Times reporter Chelsea Brown is spending a day interviewing comedian and recovering alcoholic Andre Allen, star of the hit film franchise Hammy The Bear, about a cop in a bear suit. He is attempting a foray into serious films with Uprize, in which he portrays Haitian Revolution figure Dutty Boukman, and sensitive to criticism, particularly by Times critic James Nielson, whose previous reviews of Andre's work have been negative and insulting. As the interview begins in his limousine, Andre recalls his lowest point, when he was in Houston in 2003 and met Jazzy Dee, who supplied him with drugs, alcohol and women. Yet after Jazzy refused to pay the women, they contended they were raped, leading to Andre's arrest.

The BJP, however, welcomed the apex court's order staying the West Bengal government’s prohibition on the screening of the movie, claiming that the court has exposed the ruling TMC’s “communal politics”.
Even as the top court agreed that the rules framed by the government did not prohibit brining outside food into cinema halls, it said the theatre owner has every right to carry on his trade by notifying terms and conditions.
