| Chuck De Jharkhand |
I have watched this movie two times and found that, director of this movie sounds quite confused about regional-racial differences. At one time Hero (Kabir Khan – Screen Name) in this movie has been talking about national integrity on the other side in scenes related to Jharkhandi Girls –
1. => Bihari Babu (Mr. Shukla - Screen name) was just said to Jharkhandi Girls, Soi Moi Kerketta and Rani Khispotta (screen names) at the time of arrival registration – ‘why you came here, are you coming from zoo etc. until the Jharkhandi Girls showed him official letter of national hockey team. Was it a good humor or Joke to greet arrived national level team player?
2. => a Punjabi player in National Hockey team depicted that, she doesn’t know – what is Jharkhand. She guessed there might be bushes so it’s called Jharkhand, later on Jharkhandi player told her that – in Jharkhand we have Jungle. Then, that Punjabi player replied to Jharkhandi Players – ‘So you reside in Jungle, you must be Jungli then, do you eat Snake etc.?’ Doesn’t find the producer-director Yash Copra to Jharkhand Born other Bollywood girls, Priyanka Chopra & Tanushree Dutta like a Junglee or snake eater? Also, No one would believe that, An Indian national team player General Knowledge’ would be that much weak; she doesn’t know how many states are in India
3. => a Punjabi player asked Team coach why Jharkhandi player doesn’t understand Punjabi, she repeated her dialogue many times - Maine pahle hi kaha tha in Jangliyon
Ko team me mat khilao (Already I had said that, don’t let play to these Junglees {Jharkhandi girls} in national hockey team).
4. => Many times Jharkhandi Player seems in movie to saying HO HO in replay of every question. The truth is that such players (Jharkhandi) come from the interiors of Jharkhand region, go to government and missionary schools. By the time they are groomed by Sports Authority of India and become national players, they speak decent Hindi and more than sufficient English. They certainly don't say, Happy Diwali, in reply to a good luck greeting. As it was seen in movie Soi Moi Kerketta said to Australian player - Happy Diwali, in reply to a good luck greeting.
The problem isn't about the length of their roles but the way it has been conceived and the subtext it represents. Doesn’t it hurt feeling of Jharkhandi? No matter producer-director Yash Chopra is Punjabi or else. In last month when Jharkhandi Health minister said to a Punjabi political buddy based in Jharkhand that – “I will remove your turban & send you back to Punjab” Then entire Punjabi community came on street to protest against Jharkhandi minister?
