6. Madras Cafe – Jaffna

7. Bullett Raja – Jai Raam Ji Ki
The Saif Ali Khan starrer movie, Bullet Raja is about a feared gangster who used to be a common man before falling prey to a flawed system. The earlier title of the movie was “Jai Raam Ji Ki”. The title sounds cool but it doesn’t seem to relate to the mafia movie.
8. Love Aaj Kal – Elastic
The working title of the film “Love Aaj Kal” was “Elastic”. Although it sounds cool, however, it is hard to relate it to the theme and the plot of the movie.
9. Jai Ho – Mental
Salman Khan starrer Jai Ho was initially titled as “Mental”. The title was changed to “Jai Ho” as it encompasses a patriotic feeling. Since the movie was releasing on the republic day, the patriotism was required.
