Imitating Hindi movies, Bhojpuri movies are also trying to make maximum profits in the least amount on time, which is pushing the industry towards vulgarity and obscenity.

The name Bhojpuri conjures up images of ghunghat veiling the girl’s glowing face, sisters wearing salwar suits, mother’s sacred lap and the carefree childhood spent there, bhabhi’s forehead showing off bhaia’s love in the form of sindoor and father’s stern yet loving voice at naughtiness and leave behind a wistful feeling. Surely, in the tales of pranks between devar-bhabhi, wild fun under the mango tree with friends and the sacred tulsi plant in the family courtyard preserves the Bhojpuri culture and qualities. Bhojpuri society goes by respect to elder and love to younger ones. In such a society was born Bhojpuri cinema. The first Bhojpuri movie “Ganga maiya tohey piyari chadhaibo” was appreciated by the audience. The film had portrayed beautifully every aspect of Bhojpuri society and culture. The film was a superhit. Gradually, there was a race to make movies. New directors and producers arrived on the scene and the industry grew. But imitating Hindi movies, Bhojpuri movies are also trying to make maximum profits in the least amount on time, which is pushing the industry towards vulgarity and obscenity. This is the reason the trend of item songs and double-meaning dialogues in Bhojpuri movies have flourished. As a result, Bhojpuri movies digressed from their motive and the story was limited to anything that provides full entertainment. Kissing scenes rule and clothes of actresses started becoming shorter and shorter. Shame became a thing of the past and exposure became the rule. The songs were only meant for the hero and heroine to strut their stuff. With inciting scenes and unnecessary violence, the young Bhojpuri society is shaken up. The result is that the youth is trying to imitate reel life into real life. It can be clearly seen in the increased incidents of violence and rapes in the society today. Barring a few, most Bhojpuri movies are violence-laden and inciting. Obscenity is openly produced in the name of entertainment. Be it item girl Seema Singh, or Pavan Singh challenging the stardom of Ravi Kishan, Manoj Tiwari and Nirhua, everyone has their own excuses. They have to act the way the producer and director wants them to. Released a few days ago, “Saiyan ke saath marhaiya mein” had a long kissing scene between Pavan Singh and Monalisa and also several sexual scenes. The film was a usperhit at the box office. The director and producer took full advantage of Pavan’s Singh’s chocolatey looks and good acting and made a lot of money. But whether the movie was a hit in the pretext of a clean Bhojpuri society is the question.
