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.

Rajesh Ramaswamy exits The Script Room to focus on filmmaking journey
Ad filmmaker steps away from own venture to pursue direction and storytelling
MUMBAI: In a move that has caught the attention of the advertising and creative community, Rajesh Ramaswamy has announced his exit from The Script Room, the company he co-founded, marking the end of a seven-year stint at the helm.
The decision, which came into effect earlier this month, signals a shift in focus for Ramaswamy, who is now looking to immerse himself fully in filmmaking and direction as an independent creative.
Known for blending sharp advertising insight with storytelling craft, Ramaswamy has been instrumental in shaping The Script Room into a creative hub that delivered campaigns, branded content, and original storytelling formats. Over the years, the company collaborated with agencies, directors, and a wide network of writers, while also experimenting with formats such as short films and web series.
Sharing his thoughts on the transition, Ramaswamy indicated that the move is driven by a desire to focus and explore stories he has been developing over time. While he acknowledged the unconventional nature of stepping away from one’s own venture, he also framed it as a necessary leap toward clarity and creative pursuit.
Importantly, The Script Room will continue its operations with its current team and leadership, with Ramaswamy expressing confidence in the group that helped build the company’s identity. The studio, he noted, remains well-positioned to evolve further with fresh talent and ideas.
His exit also reflects a wider industry trend, where experienced advertising professionals are increasingly transitioning into independent filmmaking, tapping into the growing opportunities across digital and long-form content platforms.
As Ramaswamy steps into this new phase, the move underscores a familiar creative instinct, sometimes, the boldest ideas begin with a clean break.
