Why Is Boycott Lal Singh Chaddha Trending On Twitter?

Just ahead of the trailer release, the upcoming comedy-drama film Laal Singh Chaddha is trending on Twitter as #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha. Trolls are bringing up the lead actor Aamir Khan’s old ‘India is intolerant’ controversy and other things to stop people from watching this film.

“Such a bad time has not come for the public, who go to watch a bad movie like Lal Singh Chaddha, total Boycott,” tweeted out one user. The user also said that for people who love to watch a bad movie, Lal Singh Chaddha is a great option. The film is based on the story of a man who stumbles into a criminal and funny journey to pursue his right, but ends up in bigger trouble.

Saying that the movie was an unimpressive remake of American actor Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump, another user commented, “Give credit to #ForrestGump and I hope you guys do some justice to one of the best movies ever made!”

“Aamir Khan spearheaded the so-called 'Narmada Andolan' objecting to the increase in the dam's height on the Narmada, denying Gujarat much needed water for drinking and irrigation. Modi was CM. Modi as PM passed it. Now in Narendra Modi stadium, Aamir released his trailer,” added another user. 

Film critic Rohit Jaiswal opined that the film's trailer was nowhere near Forrest Gump. He wrote in his tweet, “I have seen #ForrestGump and if you compare it with #LaalSinghChaddha then it is nowhere near to its original version,I wish #AamirKhan all the best, may film turns out to be a BIG BLOCKBUSTER but as far as #LaalSinghChaddhaTrailer is concerned, it is not even up to the mark.”
