If there’s one thing all Pakistani’s can say about India is that we love their movies. Whether it’s a Karan Johar romantic comedy (basically every Indian movie you have heard of in the last three years) or a dramatic Yash Chopra production (every other movie before that), Bollywood movies have always been our guilty pleasure.
But one thing that is so painfully pointless in every single Indian movie? The use of the dupattas, or a lack of understanding how to use them, we should say. You want to know why? Because they’re paired off with every outfit,
for
absolutely
no
reason.
Don’t get us wrong, a girl’s dupatta is her own and she can do whatever she wants but Bollywood trying to tell us that it’s only purpose is to “excite” men is… uhmm… shall we say, funny? Lol, please, observe:
1. Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani
Okay Naina, just because your glasses came off it doesn’t mean your dupatta had to be so strategically placed either. Tutt tutt tutt.
2. Kaho Na Pyaar Hai
More like Kaho Na Dupatta hai…
3. Kal Ho Na Ho
Okay Kal Ho Na Ho, leiken aaj your dupatta is big enough to cover some more skin. Ahkay?
4. Tashan
Don’t think your extreme kite flying can handle your dupatta Bebo.
5. Dil Toh Paghal Hai
Covering your head? If only there was something you could use to do that…
6. Bunty Aur Babli
Looks like Rani is saari not saari for her lack of dupatta, tucking it in isn’t doing much for you, is it?
7. Mujhse Dosti Karoge
Okay someone please get Rani a new stylist. Wonder what her darzi was thinking when she asked for this criss cross neck cut.
8. Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai
Madam, you seemed to have left your dinner napkin around your nec-oh, that’s your dupatta? Whoops.
9. Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani
I’m uncomortable…lol
10. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela
Raam Chaahay Leela Chaahay Leela Chahay proper placement of dupatta.
11. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
Lol, okay this is the exact opposite of what you should be doing with your dupatta. Come on Ash (no pun intended.)
12. Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
No dupatta, no dupatta, no dupatta.
13. Dil Bole Hadippa
“Oh noooo, my dupatta keeps running off, haha silly thing” lol ok
Someone please help Rani out, it seems as if she’s on a constant hunt for the use of her dupatta, don’t worry Rani, the rest of your film friends are right there with you.
Let’s just make it clear that we have no beef with Bollywood movies and their stylists (hello we watch your movies around the clock.) The point is also not to police what women can and cannot choose to wear. The point is also not to police what women can and cannot choose to wear. The point is, that women should be able to choose what they want to wear, THEMSELVES. Also, WHAT THE DUPATTA! YE TOH HUMARI IZZAT HOTA HAI, BOLLYWOOD! Aur aap ne humari izzat aise urra di hawa mein… not fair.
Have you said the same thing under your breath or to your friends while watching Bollywood movies? Have you noticed any other special things? Let us know in the comments below! Love you.
