    Makers of Jo Dooba So Paar…to appeal against Censor decision

    MUMBAI: The makers of Jo Dooba So Paar – It‘s Love In Bihar are peeved with the Censor Board.

    The Board has not only made the makers to alter the theatrical trailer of the film, it has also given a ‘U/A‘ certificate to the film.

    Director Praveen Kumar says that by all this, the Board has been unfair. “If we agreed to make the recommended changes, then why did they give us a U /A certificate,” he asks.
     
    It is learnt that the board primarily had a problem with the two words, `maa‘ and `ghanta‘ from the dialogues ‘aise ande to tumhare maa ne diye honge‘ and ‘Sharmaji knows ghanta‘. Hence they recommended the cut of the two words from the theatrical promo.

    The filmmaker‘s problem didn‘t end there as the Board also had an issue over a line on the posters that reads ‘Bihari in love… is se khatarnaak baat to ho hi nahi sakti‘.

    Not wanting to be let down, Kumar has planned to appeal again as the line is very important for bringing out the essence of the film.

    The film, starring Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Anand Tiwari, Sadis Siddque, Pitobash and Sita Spada, is scheduled to release on 14 October.

    Sony Pictures to release Jo Dooba So Par on 14 October

    MUMBAI: Sony Pictures India will release Andaaz Productions‘ Jo Dooba So Par–It‘s Love In Bihar on 14 October.


    The film is an offbeat comedy about a headstrong Bihari youth who falls in love with an American girl, amidst the chaos and corruption of Bihar.


    Said Sony Pictures India managing director Kercy Daruwala, “Jo Dooba So Par is a charming film shot against an unusual setting – the streets of Bihar and features stalwarts of the industry combined with fresh new talent in its cast. We are pleased to bring Sony Pictures‘ strong distribution network, unmatched experience and leadership position over nine consecutive years, to support the film.”


    Avers director Praveen Kumar, “I‘ve made a film drawing upon memories of both growing up in Bihar and falling in love. It has been an enjoyable, if sometimes strenuous experience. One has treaded the comic and commercial while keeping close to the truth (not always hilarious) of these coming-of-age experiences on the part of the planet we call Bihar. And yet, I believe, these experiences of violence and love are universal.”


    The film stars Anand Tiwari, Vinay Pathak, Rajat Kapoor, Sadiya Siddique and Pitobash.

  • Aparna Sen’s Iti Mrinalini releasing on 29 July

    Aparna Sen’s Iti Mrinalini releasing on 29 July

    MUMBAI:Aparna Sen‘s Iti Mrinalini is all set to release on 29 July.


    The film examines the randomness of life and explores different forms of love – one that happens in early youth, one that‘s more domestic, one that falls somewhere between friendship and love, and one resulting out of loneliness and seclusion.


    The film revolves around the life of an actress who looks back at her life. Mrinalini, an ageing actress, writes a suicide note. As a performer, the first lesson she had learnt was timing – the perfect moment for making an entrance or an exit on stage. On the stage of life, her entrance had been beyond her control but she wants to choose the moment of her exit.


    However, before taking the pills that will put her to sleep forever, she decides to destroy all her memorabilia : letters, photographs, newspaper cuttings, knick-knacks from the past – lest they fall into the hands of the press. As she looks through the old box that contains relics from her past, memories flood the night and incidents that she had forgotten or had relinquished to the furthest corners of her mind now return to haunt her. An entire life is revealed through these memories.


    While Aparna Sen plays the older Mrinalini, her daughter Konkona Sen Sharma portrays the younger version. The film also has Priyanshu Chatterjee, Rajat Kapoor and Koushik Sen.
