Of course, they had to ban the movie Deshdrohi in Maharashtra.
From the promos, it surely looked an ‘incite’ful movie. The lead protagonist, played by Kamaal R Khan, seemed to be from Bihar, who has been rubbed (clubbed?) the wrong way and he ends up emptying his clip into what kind of looked like a crooked politician. It was difficult to ascertain which was more moronic, the plot or the main lead. Seems he was also the producer of the movie, which, well in some sense, justifies his inexplicable urge to emote in front of the camera. And emote he did, plethora of expressions that the script demanded were consistently met by his straight dead pan face. I am wondering who bankrolled his foray into tinseltown and enabled him to spread 18 reels of cinematic grandeur our way? Must be somebody who gained all that money investors like me lost in the stock market, but I digress….
Of course they had to ban the movie. It may be a product of questionable artistic value, but it made a statement against what was happening in the state then. Of course they have to curb freedom of expression of common citizen, it is much easier to let the citizenry suffer then control the political goondas like Raj Thackeray. This lumpen element has not only lampooned law of the land but also has broken all earlier standards of divisiveness set by other respected netas. Raj may be born a maratha manoos but his activities are a bane to any state, Mr Zardari, he is our very own non-state actor or shall I say "Deshdrohi"? Unity of this land now lies at the mercy of such politicians, ask him Next is What? And he will divide you on the basis of your Pin code next.
Oh well, Kamaal will survive this. Khans, in general, have not starved in Bollywood and while some do possess theatrical abilities, some..ahum…well, have a surname that ensures eyeballs and currency at the box office. And that means whether you are a non-state actor or in this case a non-state non-actor, you’ll make it. Does that sound like “Deshdrohi returns” is on its way? My portfolio is going deeper into the red everyday, maybe Kamaal’s financier is licking his lips and his notes and shouting LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION……….
