People slams Pooja Hegde's look from Mohenjo Daro!

The first look of Pooja Hegde's character named 'Chaani' from Mohenjo Daro faces criticism.


Mohenjo Daro's Chaani faces criticism from the masses for her look in the film. The first look which was released by Pooja through her twitter account received appreciation from the industry but the common man didn't accepted the way of depiction of the Harrappan woman in the poster.

According to a report in a leading daily, Ruchika Sharma, an M.Phil student at JNU who did specialization in Medieval Indian History reacted by saying that the poster portrays the Harrappan woman inaccurately.

She took to her social networking account and expressed her views about the same. Here's what she posted: "Boss, what sick orientalism is this? Who told them that Harappans had these feathers in their hair? I'm really done with Bollywood depicting tribal, clannish societies in such stereotypical terms, feathers in their hair, paint on their faces. I mean, there are literally hundreds of terracotta figurines depicting Harappan women. Take a cue? Also, in all probability the Harappans were dark complexioned. Yeh kya fair and lovely bias hai?Everyone knows the (migrating) Aryans had a fair complexion. Not the Harappans. But fair is all that works for BTown. Thoroughly disgusted." (sic)

The film is slated to release on August 12 this year.

Well, do you think while making a film, the facts and history should be distorted/altered under the name of 'entertainment', because audience might not remember history but they will definitely remember a film (which shows not-so-real history)!
