A look at India through Antique Stigmatized Western looking glass
24 October 2020
First just let me make this clear Hindus do not hate muslims in India please do not make a opinion based on these highly Stigmatized shows. A Hindu girl falling for a Muslim lad faces opposition from traditional family, A younger Rich hindu sion falling far a beautiful muslim courtesan faces opposition from patriach of family, A fat hindu maharaja building a temple right next to a mosque (utter and pure fiction), Uptight right wing politicians it's the usual Hinduphobic OTT troupe that has become common of late. Now as we are done with that "No one speaks in India like that, No one" that's maybe how the British imagine Indians speaking we do not speak like that. Second the show which could've shown a beautiful, secular, liberal India (which it was) instead spends majority of its time pointing and laughing at Indian culture and it's highly exaggerated shortcomings. Acting of lead is good some other well know names like Tabu and Ram Kapoor are only saving grace of this murder of Vikram's work. Mira Nair has a very negative impression of India and especially hindu culture and it shows very much. If you want to watch something that will add to stigmatized image of India in west then it's for you. If you are intrested in reality and not some hate fiction miss this. That's 6 hours of my life I'll never get back.
