There is absolutely no denying the fact that Bhojpuri Cinema is often ignored in the glitz and glam of Bollywood, Hollywood and other regional cinemas. It is always considered to be a factory of B-Grade movies and hence neglected. Not only this, people are of the opinion that it lacks good stars who can play lead in Bollywood. However, Ravi Kishan can be said to be an exception of this and as we know, exceptions are always there!
Nirahua aka Dinesh Lal Yadav Emerged As A Big Name In 2015
We live in a world which has different types of people with diverse choices and there are many who desperately wait to watch good movies in their regional language. If we talk about hit Bhojpuri films of 2015, distributers mostly name only two movies, “Raja Babu” and “Patna Se Pakistan”, and they both star Nirahua aka Dinesh Lal Yadav as main lead. As per distributer Joginder Mahajan, “Raja Babu” has been a big hit of 2015 and has done a business of whooping Rs. 4 crores.
Significant Increase In The Number Of Bhojpuri Audience
But we cannot overlook the essential fact that a major group in Eastern UP, Bihar and even in Punjab’s Ludhiana loves to watch Bhojpuri movies. In fact, an increase in the number of Bhojpuri films audience has been seen in Delhi, yes surprisingly true it is! These are shown in cinema halls like Moti and Hans in Old Delhi.
Delhites & Bhojpuri Movies
People belonging to upper middle class in Delhi have shown a growing interest in Bhojpuri films and this can be guessed on account of the fact that multiplexes often receive calls regarding inquiry of Bhojpuri movies; nevertheless, they are replied in negative since multiplexes don’t show these films.
This Is Why Multiplexes Avoid Showing Bhojpuri Movies
We seldom get a chance to watch a Bhojpuri film in a multiplex. In other words, multiplexes avoid showing these movies and they have a quite weird and surprising reason for the same. It’s believed that audience of Bhojpuri films chews betel nuts and spits all over the place due to which halls get dirty and for the same, big theaters don’t show Bhojpuri movies.
However, this reason is not much satisfactory since it’s the same audience who heads to multiplexes to watch Hindi movies as well.
