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.
