‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’ All Set To Release
Arjun Kapoor & Parineeti Chopra starrer Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar is set to release on 1st Mar, 2019. The Dibakar Banerjee thriller will see Arjun play the role of a Haryanvi cop, while Parineeti essays the role of an ambitious girl from the corporate world whose lives suddenly intertwine. Dibakar says, “I feel this is my 1st ever film all over again, at least in terms of excitement with the material. Sandeep & Pinky bring to screen the 2 India’s that are forever clashing. I want the audience not to lose a second of that. We finished the shoot 1 month late because of the intense weather conditions on the Indo-Nepal border. I don’t want Sandeep & Pinky to be shortchanged on edit time. YRF agreed with my request and so we are pressing on together to the new date. 2019 is when India chooses its future. I’m looking forward to release in that year & choose mine.”

‘Veere Di Wedding’ BANNED In Pakistan
Rhea Kapoor’s Veere Di Wedding starring Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker & Shikha Talsania in pivotal roles was released on 1st Jun, 2018 in India but its release in the neighboring country looks difficult. The movie has been banned in Pakistan and the reason for the same is its BOLD content. The movie sure has been made to push the envelope. Its premise is women empowerment and therefore it is meant to engage a dialogue on women’s sexuality and touches upon societal pressure on getting girls married early and other facets of patriarchy. But looks like the censor board in Pakistan is not very happy with its content and therefore has deemed it vulgar, due to the fact that the lead actresses cuss openly throughout the film. The board feels that the movie is not appropriate for family viewing. Sindh Censor Board has cleared the movie with a few cuts but Islamabad Censor Board is obstructing the release of Veere Di Wedding.
