The Indian Psychotary Society had written to India's Central Board of Film Certification to demand a change in its title.
In a letter, the society said, “We take serious objections to the title of the movie which is discriminative, stigmatising, degrading, inhumane in projecting mental disorders and people who suffer from mental disorders.”
The society has also asked for the removal of any scene "that is violating the rights of persons with mental disorder."
A spokesperson for Balaji Telefilms shared: "Given the sensitivity attached to the issue of mental health and our intention of not offending or hurting anyone's sentiments, the makers have decided to change the title of the film Mental Hai Kya to Judgementall Hai Kya. Both Kangana and Rajkummar have outdone themselves in this thriller and we can''t wait for audiences to witness it on the big screen."
The representative added that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had raised minor objections to the film while giving it a U/A certificate and the producers have complied with them.
