30 Apr 2018

The otherwise-funmood of the trailer ofShashankaGhoshs VeereDi Wedding isshattered by all the four protagonists using forbidden foul language. While the current CBFC chief Prasoon Joshiis known to be liberal on several counts when it comes to the spoken languageprofanities and abusive words are a strict no-no. The current blockbusterAvengers: Infinity Warhad all the mild swear-words cleaned out although the films Indian distributorsDisney argued that this is the accepted language among legions of fans of Marvel comics. The profanities in the trailer of VeereDi Wedding includingSonamKapoorusing the Hindi bahencusswordare already being cleaned out on the various news and entertainment channels. A spokesperson from the BharatiyaJantaParty says the language heard in VeereDi Wedding is unacceptable. I dont know which section of the Indian 20-something female population talks like this. And for what purpose? I wouldnt like to say much. But to hearAnilKapoors daughter and Kareena KapoorKhan talking like this is not very encouraging. They have a huge fan following that follows their clothes and speech. Is this the example they want to set? HoweverSwaraBhaskarwho plays one of the four protagonists says the outrage at the dialoguesare unjustified. The film is an honest unabashed real look at the friendship of four urban girls from the upper middle class strata of society. This is how young people both men and women, talk to each other. We are just being real and being ourselves. Thats it. There is no other agenda or message to it.
