MUMBAI: Anushka Sharma has wowed the audience with her acting chops.
The fans of the actress are now eagerly waiting for the release of her film Chakda Xpress.
Anushka Sharma's Chakda Xpress teaser is out and her mindboggling Bangla accent is making headlines. The Netflix film starts filming soon, and truly, chinta korona (don't worry) it will be a hit because, apart from the might of the streaming giant, it will have Anushka's star power driving it, along with her acting.
Based on the life of Jhulan Goswami, India's legendary woman cricketer, the film is already a tricky place to be in. Biopics are Bollywood's Achilles' heel. It keeps failing at it, miserably so, but it keeps attempting it anyway. But this time, it feels off from the teaser itself. Anushka as Jhulan walks onto the field with her squad at her back and starts off, "Jaab (jab) jaarsee (jersey) khud ke naam ka nahi toh fan kees (kis) naam ko phollow (follow) karega?" she says, and adds, "Kintu chinta korona, aaj jaarsee (jersey) pe apna naam banaliya, aur kaal (kal) apna pehchan bhi banalega.”
Anushka's accent is so far wide, that on a cricket pitch she'd be penalised with two runs instead of one, added to the batter's books. Bangalis on Twitter are not taking this kindly. About a month ago, Abhishek Bachchan butchered Bob Biswas and we wish it was a smart wordplay considering the character's assassin background, but it was simply that - he butchered the accent.
Did Jhulan Goswami in Chakda Xpress need to speak in pseudo-Bengali accented Hindi? What’s your take on the same? Hit the comment section.
