SHOCKING: Heer Sara Aur Pondicherry retitled Heer | Indian Movie News
The Patralekhaa and Maanvi Gagroo-starrer Heer Sara Aur Pondicherry was initially scheduled to release on May 29. Four days before its release, the makers announced that the movie had been pushed to June 12. They also revealed that the movie had been retitled Heer Sara.
Bollywood Hungama has discovered that the delay and change in title occurred due to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). A source told Bollywood Hungama, “A few scenes and themes didn’t seem acceptable to the CBFC’s Examining Committee, which viewed the film. The process took a while, due to which the makers decided to delay the film’s release by two weeks.”
The source additional said, “Also, ‘Pondicherry’ was asked to be axed from the title. The CBFC members were of the opinion that the film has certain mature content, which should not be associated with the Union Territory.”
The cut record of Heer Sara mentions that the title of the movie was modified. The makers have been also told to delete a derogatory phrase in the second half of the movie. Once the modifications have been made, the CBFC handed Heer Sara with an ‘A’ certificates on May 29. The size of the movie, as talked about on the censor certificates, is 99 minutes and 17 seconds. In other phrases, Heer Sara is 1 hour, 39 minutes and 17 seconds long.
Directed by Kartik Chaudhry, Heer Sara stars Patralekhaa and Maanvi Gagroo in lead roles, alongside Arif Zakaria, Shveta Salve and Nishank Verma in pivotal supporting components. The movie traces an emotional and transformative street journey of two girls navigating personal struggles, societal expectations and emotional therapeutic.
The CBFC diktat has raised eyebrows in the industry. An industry insider commented, “Films like The Kashmir Files (2022), The Kerala Story (2023), Udaipur Files (2025) and The Bengal Files (2025) were passed by the CBFC without the makers being asked to change their titles. Agra (2024) and Aligarh (2016) were also released with their original titles. Then why was a sweet, heartfelt film like Heer Sara Aur Pondicherry singled out and made to change its title?”
