Deepa Mehta’s Heaven on Earth to be Screened in India

Deepa Mehta’s award winning film Heaven on Earth, starring Preity Zinta, will be named Videsh and screened in India in March. BR Films’ CEO Sanjay Bhutian reveals, “We did not want our Indian audiences to misinterpret the title Heaven on Earth to be an English film. Hence we changed the film’s title to Videsh as this would connect well with the Indian audience.” Heaven on Earth got nominated at the 29th Genie Awards in Canada and Preity Zinta won the Best Actress Award in the Chicago Film Festival. The film also received the 2008 Muhr Award for Best Screenplay at the Dubai International Film Festival. Mehta’s film will be released in both Hindi and Punjabi. Here’s wishing Videsh does well at the Box Office in India!
