Was wondering why the leftist @scroll_in is reviewing this movie?

Remarkable how our film-makers have to arrow in on Hindus!

The 'kanjoos' has to be exaggeratedly Hindu.
scroll.in/reel/1046173/k…

"Jamnaprasad (Kunal Kemmu), son of Gangaprasad (Piyush Mishra) and Saraswati (Alka Amin) and husband
of Madhuri (Shweta Tripathi Sharma), is the miserly sort who skimps on the essentials and even stubs out agarbattis after he has paid his respects to his gods."

[Thus neatly trashing and normalising the disrespect a Hindu can have for "his Gods]

Is that all?

The filmmakers MUST NOT miss an opportunity to stitch together
* a Hindu religious pilgrimage,
* corrupt(Hindu?) Officers,
* bribes and an opportunity to make money.

So "A financial opportunity beckons Jamnaprasad when his parent are declared missing during a pilgrimage to Uttarakhand. The officers in charge of sanctioning compensation, Chaturvedi (Rajiv Gupta) and Yadav (Raju Srivastava), demand and are given bribes to release

the amount due to Jamnaprasad."

Will our filmakers never learn?

Did it ever occur to them that a Muslim could also be parsimonious, cut corners on zakat or bring in a corrupt mullah, not to speak of a traditional Muslim family on a pilgrimage to Mecca...

Hell, no..it wouldn't even occur to them to take such liberties.

And who does not love or want their own necks to stay intact?

[Vipul Mehta’s film for ZEE5 stars Kunal Kemmu, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, Piyush Mishra and Alka Amin.]
