After all Why is the Boycott Imposed on Indian Cinema?
The junta has “boycotted” Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar’s holiday releases. The films “Laal Singh Chaddha” and “Raksha Bandhan,” which are released the following week, share more than simply their release date. In case you were wondering, the hashtags #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha and #BoycottRakshaBandhan hasn’t been trending on the internet concerning the plots of either movie.
Culture of Boycotting Cinemas
Aamir’s movie, according to critics, ought to perform poorly at the box office as a result of remarks he made about intolerance and not feeling comfortable in India seven years ago, and also due to his recent statement stating, “Pouring milk on Shivling is useless, this money can feed poor children.” Some people also brought up the actor’s 2014 movie “PK,” which mocked Hindu deities and practices. Similar to this, Akshay’s movie received criticism when netizens uncovered writer Kanika Dhillon’s four-year-old tweets about “gau mata,” which have been misconstrued as “hinduphobic” by radical organisations!
Trade reports show that interest in metropolises and cities has improved Laal Singh Chaddha’s booking. The Raksha Bandhan box office performance is less successful. On the other hand, Raksha Bandhan will gain popularity based on audience reaction. Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan, may earn an opening of between Rs. 17 and Rs. 20 crores, according to projections.
Over 50K seats have been sold, and over a crore has been earned so far. In contrast, tickets for Raksha Bandhan have been pre-sold by around 35,000 people.
Aamir’s divisive statement about “India’s rising intolerance” was uncovered by some Twitter users who searched through the site’s archives and circulated it there.
Additionally, online resurfacing of some of Kareena’s contentious former remarks. Aamir Khan commented on the controversial statement issue in an interview in 2015, saying, “Our country is highly accepting, but there are some who sow ill-will.”
Kiran Rao, his wife, also made headlines when she said she had thought about fleeing the nation for their children’s safety.
While on the other hand, many critics wrote the first review about Raksha Bandhan that the film has a very desi type of effect, is very Indian at heart, and oozed in Hindustani emotions.
So, at last, the question comes to the audience that it is relevant to make these types of distressful comments on any community and should people not react to these statements by boycotting them or vice versa?
