          NEW DELHI, Jan. 23 Xinhua) -- India's Supreme Court Tuesday refused to stop the release of Bollywood Hindi movie Padmaavat, saying states must obey orders to screen it.

          Two Indian states Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh had approached the court citing law and order problem and stiff opposition to the film by some fringe groups, seeking reconsideration of its previous order.

          The top court last week set aside the notification passed by the states of Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat to ban the release of Padmaavat.

          "It is better to advise people not to watch the movie," the judges said while refusing to reconsider their decision.

          The apex court said it was job of local governments to ensure peace and protect people.

          Padmaavat is based on the legend of Rani Padmini of Chittor and Rajput groups say the film wrongly showcases a romantic relationship between the queen and Muslim emperor Alauddin Khilji.

          Initially the film was named Padmavati. However, in wake of massive protests, India's Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) locally called censor board asked its makers to undertake dozens of cuts besides renaming it, which was duly complied with.

          The film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali' has been at the center of a huge controversy with the fringe group claiming to represent Rajput caste locally called Karni Sena accusing him of distortion of history in the movie.
