'Pogaru', the first big-scale Kannada film in the Covid-era, continues to invite controversy ever since its chartbuster song 'Karabuu' song. The latest problem to hit the Dhruva Sarja-starrer is the anger of the Brahmin community over many scenes in the film.
Released on February 19, 'Pogaru' is an action drama showcasing the life of an aimless young man, who goes to any length to make money. 'Pogaru', like all 'masala' films, ends with the hero's transformation. The film faced criticism from netizens and critics for its unabashed upholding of toxic masculinity.
Recently, Karnataka State Brahmin Development Board criticised the 'demeaning of priests' in the film. "To insult any community or religion in a film isn't correct. 'Pogaru' blatantly shows Brahmin community in a poor light. We demand an apology from the film's team and removal of all the scenes that are objectionable," said Board president HS Sachidananda Murthy.
