The makers of Ujda Chaman and Bala had locked horns over their similar content. However, Ujda Chaman director Abhishek Pathak later withdrew his case. He says there is no point in fighting as the team of Bala chose not to have a box office clash with his movie.

Ujda Chaman, which deals with premature balding and touches upon issues that overweight people face in society, was originally set to release on November 8. The makers of the similar-themed movie Bala changed their release date from November 15 to November 7. Finally, Ujda Chaman hit the screens on November 1.
