The second installment of the Indian Hindi-language comedy horror film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ recently hit theatres. ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ stars Tabu, Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Rajpal Yadav in lead roles.
The film has been receiving a lot of love. However, there is a set of people who have highlighted a major problem in the movie i.e. fatshaming.
Taking to Reddit, a user pointed out that in the name of humour, the writers are negligibly promoting body shaming with insensitive jokes at the expense of a child.
The user (@u/Special-Hunter-1496) said that it’s not cool to make the young boy a victim of body shaming jokes. “After all, men ko toh body image issues hote hi kahaan hai,” the user exclaimed.
So is nobody going to talk about body shaming jokes and fatphobia in Bhool Bhulaiya 2? And this time, a young boy is being bodyshamed NOT an adult. After all, men ko toh body image issues hote hi kahaan hai. 🤡 from BollyBlindsNGossip
People online, who have watched the film, opined that the number of times the kid is being shamed, it comes across as harassment and not humor anymore.
Some suggested that many from the audience might enjoy such humour and hence, filmmakers add it to the film to make it less bland and boring.
A handful of people also said, ‘movie entertainment k liye dekho’ and take a chill pill.
