I would not bother to put on in that sentence.

I think I'd use on when a simpler structure follows -- just a noun maybe:
Have you decided on a title for your new film yet?

Hi. Please help.
Your sentence:
Have you decided on a title for your new film yet?
I think both sentences are correct. If they are, what do you think is the difference?
Changing your sentence a little bit:
1. Have you decided the title for your new film yet?
2. Have you decided on the title for your new film yet?
Your sentence:
Have you decided on a title for your new film yet?
