CBFC Demands Title Change for Patralekhaa Film
11 Jun
Summary
- Film's title changed from Heer Sara Aur Pondicherry to Heer Sara.
- CBFC objected to mature content linked with Union Territory Pondicherry.
- Film received an 'A' certificate after modifications and edits.
Initially slated for release on May 29, the film 'Heer Sara Aur Pondicherry' experienced a two-week delay and a title alteration. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) raised objections to specific scenes and the film's original title, leading to its rebranding as 'Heer Sara.'
Industry insiders noted that the CBFC suggested removing 'Pondicherry' from the title, believing mature themes should not be associated with the Union Territory. Following these directives, a derogatory word was also removed from the film. The modified film was subsequently issued an 'A' certificate by the CBFC on May 29.
Directed by Kartik Chaudhry, 'Heer Sara' features Patralekhaa and Maanvi Gagroo in lead roles, exploring themes of personal struggles and emotional healing. The CBFC's decision has drawn comparisons to other films that retained their original titles despite potentially controversial content, sparking discussion within the industry.
