After ‘Pathan’, the business of ‘Adipurush’ also created controversy
– Fans now suspect that the filmmaker intentionally subverts culture and includes content that stirs controversy – Funda to make the film a superhit: All previous controversial films have been hits.
Looks like the Hindi and South Indian film industry has found the key to make the film a box office hit. It seems that the producer-director of the film deliberately tampers with the wind stirring scenes and dialogues or historical characters to create some controversy in the film and then provoke nationwide protests, outrage and boycott.
Lord Rama, Sita and Hanuman are presented in ‘Adipurush’, the head and heart of Hindu faith. Also, the dialogues of the film have hurt the sentiments of the citizens across the country, yet the film has earned Rs 500 crores. 300 crore business has been done. Pathan film earned Rs. 318 by the weekend.
Now it is also feared that even before the release of the film, controversial scenes are included in the teaser and trailer and then the film’s marketing team spreads this controversy in front of the media and social media. More organizations get involved.
May be while making the film itself it is decided that we will do this and then we will create controversy and it will naturally reverberate in the country.
The film would become the talk of the town. Illustrated will get free publicity.
Half of the audience will be like ‘who see, how did this controversy actually arise’, they go to the movie just to satisfy their curiosity.
However, in all this, the producers of the film and those who obey only for money, who compromise religion and culture by insulting religion, scriptures and deities are guilty. The Ishwar or Mother form also represents the Goddess in a distorted form. Tapori calls for a dialogue with God. One wonders why the censor board appointed by the BJP government remained silent despite Lord Ram, Sita Hanumanji being portrayed to such an extent in Adipurush, why the central government did not intervene after the film was released, Hindu religious organizations and councils are silent Why are you? Why do citizens even go to watch movies?
In more recent times, historical characters have been similarly teased by showing a brief ‘disclaimer’ on screen before the film begins.
Goliyo Ki Raasleela, Jodha Akbar, Padmavat, Bajirao Mastani, PK, Pathan and Adipurush could rock the box office only after controversies.
