Kalidas Jayaram’s long delayed Oru Pakka Kathai gets an OTT release

Kalidas Jayaram’s long delayed Tamil film ‘Oru Pakka Kathai’ is finally set for release. OTT platform Zee5 has bagged the streaming rights and the film will be premiering on September 25. The film is directed by Balaji Tharaneetharan of ‘Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom’ and ‘Seethakaathi’ fame.

‘Oru Pakka Kathai’ release got delayed so long as the film was involved in a lot of troubles with the censor board. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) officals wanted to remove the word ‘intercourse’ from the movie, which was strictly opposed by the makers. When asked to remove the particular word, the makers approached the revising committee. The committee had no objection, but they wanted to check with the Mumbai head office. That process actually lasted for a long time. Finally, the CBFC officals certified the film and also retained the word ‘intercourse’. After battling for several months, the film was given a U certificate with some minor cuts.

‘Oru Pakka Kathai’ has Kalidas and Megha Akash in the lead roles. PV Chandramoulli, Jeeva Ravi, Lakshmi Priya Menon and Meena also play important roles in the film.
