Yeh Din Ka Kissa [usually spelled Qissa] which literally translates to 'This day's scandal' (or lightly story/tale) sounds Hindi, also Urdu or Panjabi. But why such a title for a project? Does it have any connection with the Indian subcontinent?
Excuse my English, it's not my native tongue.share
Oh, Hindi. From the people involved, listed so far, I'd thought it was something Yiddish.
shareI don't speak or have any knowledge of Yiddish? But does it have any connection with the subcontinent or even Perso-Arabic? If it does then it is possible that may be it does mean something in Yiddish as well. But it feels so weird seeing a (possibly temporary working) title of a Hollywood film in a language I naturally speak!!

I speak a little Yiddish and I can tell you that the title of the film is not in that language. Perhaps using real Hindi/Urdu is partly a response to the charge that Hollywood has been insufficiently diverse (which is true); time will show us why. Baumbach has been unusually empathetic in portraying people with experiences that are different from his own in Frances Ha and other films, so perhaps he's taking that further and doing more research here.
Vhavnal's comment sounds as though s/he could be correct, but I'm actually hoping s/he isn't:
nearly every film that gets shot in sub-urban or urban areas will use a 'fake' title to deter people from taking pics of the filming..which can give away storylines or casting information
I was wondering the same thing.
shareIts a 'working Title' ..production company's use weird names to ensure people do not loiter outside the film shooting area..especially big budgeted titles....nearly every film that gets shot in sub-urban or urban areas will use a 'fake' title to deter people from taking pics of the filming..which can give away storylines or casting information..

So you're saying this is really the next Avengers movie?
