The controversy surrounding the viral "Rs 370 biryani" remark has taken a fresh legal turn, with Gurugram Police registering an FIR against stand-up comedian Pranit More and audience member Himanshu Jangra following a complaint by the National Commission for Women (NCW). The case stems from a widely circulated video clip from one of More's comedy shows that sparked outrage on social media and triggered discussions about consent, accountability, and the limits of comedy.

The controversy began after a crowd-work segment from More's performance went viral online. During the interaction, Jangra recounted a date where he claimed to have spent Rs 370 on chicken biryani and allegedly suggested that he expected physical intimacy in return. The comments were widely criticized for appearing to promote entitlement and non-consensual behaviour toward women. More was also criticised for laughing during the exchange and not challenging the remarks at the time.
