    What was wrong with Rajkummar's scene from 'Ludo'?
  • The controversial Ramleela scene features Rajkummar as Ravana's sister Surpanakha as she encounters Lord Rama.

    The actor utters the words, "Hey sundar nar, main teri deewani hoon, tu mera Bajirao, main teri Mastani hoon," followed by a Hindi cuss word.

    This did not sit well with many from the Hindu community and they bashed the film and director Anurag.

  • Trolls

    'Country is getting Ram Mandir, defaming Ramleela is wrong'

  • Slamming the movie over the scene, another Twitter user wrote, "Ramleela is a devotional play for Hindus for their spiritual emotion unto Shri Ram. The country is getting set to build grand Ram Mandir and Hinduphobic Anurag Basu has denigrated Ramleela in film Ludo (sic)."

    Apart from the Ramleela scene, many other sequences showing Hindu gods and practices were slammed as well.

  • Ludo, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar, Pankaj Tripathi and others, was released on November 12 and has managed to impress the audience and critics.

    The comical blend of four different stories weaved together with reference to the board game of Ludo has garnered appreciation for its screenplay, cinematography and music.

    In fact, the makers are also planning a sequel to the movie.

  • However, this is not the first time that a Bollywood movie has received hatred for its portrayal of Hindu gods.

    Earlier, Aamir Khan's 2014 movie PK was called "anti-national" and "Hinduphobic" for allegedly demeaning Hindu Gods.

    More recently, Akshay Kumar's latest release, Laxmii, also landed in trouble for similar reasons. A section of people said it mocked Hindu deities and allegedly promoted love jihad.
