The big secret is out. In the just-released trailer of Abhishek Kapoor’s Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui Vaani Kapoor’s character reveals herself as a, gasp, transgender.
Slow clap, bravo. More envelope-pushing for Ayushmann Khurrana who plays a macho beefy boor named Manu who is into body building and stud-baazi.
So what happens when this he-man falls for a he-she-man-woman? Well, he is repelled. And his smirking loutish friends ask, ‘Tu ne sex kaise kiya aage se ya peeche se?”
I am appalled at the sheer insensitivity displayed in the trailer. Nawazuddin Siddiqui had sex with a tansgender woman in Sacred Games. He spewed filthy expletives during the act. But didn’t insult her later . I agree, a section of the males in a sexist society like ours probably do talk like that. But does a crude society have to be projected on screen with such crudity? It’s like showing a gangrape. Where does the pain end and voyeurism begin?
It’s good to see Khurrana constantly shaking up the sex cart in Hindi cinema. He was a sperm donor in Vicky Donor, a man with a penile dysfunction in Shubh Mangal Savdhaan, a homosexual in Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhaan(which true to its title was most cautious in depicting same-sex love).
Now he is a beefy muscular he-man who discovers his girlfriend is transgender. The mood of the presentation is one of self congratulations. Lots of loud opinionated characters, plenty of coarse music, and a fart too.
The last-mentioned is supposed to show our gym-instruction hero as an uncouth fellow with no sensitivity.
Gotcha,Mr Abhishek Kapoor. Why not simply make Khurrana hold a placard declaring himself an IMM(insensitive macho man)?
Much as I admire Ayushmann Khurrana for his derringdo in the selection of roles I am getting a little wary of his constant search for deviant characters and films. In his case being different has become a formula.
