All those allergic to bollywood, no need to run away, this is not a bollywood discussion.
I came across the theatrical promo of Akshay Kumar’s new movie called Tees Maar Khan in which one of his dialogues didn’t really go down well with me. Now, I’m not a party pooper, I don’t sit there criticising movies, I just sit back and enjoy the flick. But this particular dialogue just sounded wrong:
*
**Tawayeef ki lut ti izzat bachana *or tees maar khan ko qaed karna dono beqaar hain.
ermm really? The bold bit?! Its pointless to help a prostitute when she’s being abused and assaulted?
yea bbq the line sorta irked me too in the trailer! hmm. =)i know it’s supposed to be a joke…but i’m confused..its saying it’s ok to let a prostitute get raped. stupid line.
okay exotic dancer perhaps but the term is used for prostitutes as well because the only other terms in urdu that I am aware of for prostitutes are slangs i think
Think of Tees maar khan as a desi version of Robin Hood.
I’m glad everyone disagrees with the dialogue. IceSoul, what I’m saying is that when a woman, prostitute or not, is being forced to have sex against her will, that is wrong and that is abuse! Helping her out is not beqaar as stated in the dialogue!
Go see Devdas to have your concepts clear…or Umrao Jaan
