“Operation Sindoor” Sparks Title War As 150+ Applications Await Clearance

A massive title race has erupted in Bollywood as over 150 filmmakers rush to register films based on “Operation Sindoor,” but not a single approval has been granted yet by the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association. The surge began soon after the 2025 operation, with multiple producers filing applications within days. However, due to the overwhelming volume, all requests are currently on hold. With approvals expected to follow a first-come-first-served rule, the upcoming decision could instantly reshape the race—where securing the title comes first, and the film later.
