For once, a Big B dialogue found lacking in “dum”…
Whether Salim-Javed’s dialogues, or his now-one-year old blog, the nation hangs on to every word that Amitabh Bachchan articulates. But when he baritoned “UP me hai dum, jurm hai yahan kam” for a Samajwadi Party advertisement in April 2007, when the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls were in the air, it found few takers. Instead, it found Braj Bhushan Dubey of Ghazipur district filing a petition under Right To Information (RTI) to question the basis of his claim. Though the Election Commission, High Court and the Supreme Court ruled in the actor’s favour and the matter was dismissed on grounds of the information having been obtained from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the National Crime Records Bureau, it was a slogan that could only be taken with a pinch of salt, particularly when it was just months into the discovery of the Nithari killing fields.
Says Kamal Mitra Chenoy, Professor of Indian Politics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, “Actors shouldn’t dabble in politics unless they are willing to go the whole hog like NTR, or Jayalalitha… it’s a pretty dirty game.
