Aaja Nachle divides the classes

With Madhuri Dixit’s comeback vehicle Aaja Nachle hitting the theatres last Friday, there were discussions bound to happen on how the film has turned out and more importantly how is Madhuri looking on screen after a hiatus of 5 years.

However, by Friday afternoon, the film was being discussed neither for its direction nor performances but for a sudden controversy that it had stirred. Apparently, the title track of the film had a line which offended certain lower sections of the society (read Dalits). There were protests across Northern India and by Saturday, the makers of the film had no choice but to apologize and even remove the ‘so-called’ derogatory portions.

However, the artist of the above picture has put the whole episode in a unique manner. With the initial verdict out over the weekend, looks like both the upper class as well as the lower class (pun intended) don’t really have any reason to rush to the theatres to catch this Madhuri flick. This surely isn’t any reason to dance. It even leaves you pondering whether the saying “Any publicity is good publicity” always holds true.
