Film drew ire of Indian Psychi­atric Societ­y for usage of the word ‘mental’ as it trivia­lised mental health issues­Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut says the change in title for her upcoming film Judgmental Hai Kya?, which was earlier called Mental Hai Kya, is a result of nepotism and power play in the Hindi film industry, reported The Hindu. Commenting on the movie’s title change, Kangana told the media, “I think whenever it is anything to do with Kangana Ranaut, people have a problem with it. Salman originally titled the remake Mental, but by the time the film was released, it had been retitled Jai Ho. “There was no problem then, but now we are told that very recently, the word ‘mental’ is banned, so we did not have that much choice. The Mental Hai Kya title drew the ire of the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) which complained to the censor board that the usage of the word ‘mental’ trivialised mental health issues.
