Bollywood Day: Students of Lahore University of Management Sciences dressed up as iconic characters from Bollywood films to celebrate ‘Bollywood Day’. Photolums, Photography club of LUMS, shared a video of the event on TikTok recently which is now being widely shared by other students.
From Paresh Rawal’s Baburao in the Hera Pheri series and Shah Rukh Khan’s Devdas (2002), students dressed up as different Bollywood characters and enacted their famous dialogues.
Students speak iconic dialogues
The video, perhaps from a farewell event at LUMS, featured a student dressed in a green saree and imitating Sushmita Sen’s Chandni Chopra from Main Hoon Na. She said Sushmita’s line, “Did you just sing to me?” One dressed up as a cop and mimicked Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey from Dabangg (2010). He said Salman’s line, “Hum tum mein itne ched karenge ki confuse ho jaoge ke saans kahan se le aur (I will put so many bullets in your body that you will be confused where to breath from and where to)…”
Students imitated Shah Rukh Khan’s Raj Malhotra in Mohabbatein to Ajay Devgn’s iconic cop from the Bajirao Singham franchise. A girl copied Alia Bhatt’s character Shanaya Singhania in Student of the Year. Wearing a red dress, she spoke Alia’s now-iconic line, “Haath mein pom pom leke ladko ke liye chillana mera style nahi hai (It is not my style to hold pom poms and cheer for boys).” Another students dressed as Priyanka Chopra’s character from Barfi.
Social media is divided
However, some social media users were upset with Pakistani students celebrating Bollywood. A Twitter user wrote, “Disgusted to see them like this.” On the other side, many supported and defended the event. One of them said, “Why? Did they commit any crime by doing that? They did it just for fun.” Another one tweeted, “For God’s sake just let them be. Creativity involves free thinking, so let them think freely; don’t hamper them.”
An Instagram user commented on the video, “Divided by borders. United by art.” One person also said, “All of them are looking fabulous.”
