Ghooskhor Pandat title change not enough, says FWICE; demands screening of Manoj Bajpayee’s film before release

  • Netflix informed judges during the hearing that the makers of Ghooskhor Pandat agreed to change the film's name and removed all promotional material from social media.
  • After the announcement, protests erupted because the title used 'Pandat', which petitioners alleged tarnished Hindu priests' image and sought an immediate stay on release.
  • Produced by Neeraj Pandey, the film stars Manoj Bajpayee, with Divya Dutta, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Saqib Saleem, Shraddha Das, Akshay Oberoi, and Kiku Sharda, and will release on Netflix.
  • The court heard a petition seeking a stay, but noting Netflix's title change and removed promos, the Delhi High Court settled the matter and rejected the petition to halt release.
  • This case joins earlier title disputes such as Padmaavat and Ram Leela, highlighting sensitivity around portrayals after protests since the announcement and prompting the makers to act.
