Movie on Khap Panchayat shot in Faridabad
Sanjay Chaturvedi – In contrast to the record books and the general perception that Khap Panchayat in Haryana are against the girl child and are known for their adamant attitude, particularly in case of love marriage, a Haryanvi movie is in making which would convey the message that these Panchayat are never wrong. The movie ‘Love Versus Khap Panchayat’ is based on a story portraying a love affair leading to honour killing.
Some of the scenes of this film were shot in Faridabad on 1st May in a farm house. Disha Art International, producing the film has chosen Sangita Kapoor in the female lead while Vijay Malik, a Rotarian from Faridabad is playing the role of a political leader. Producer Baba R.K.Dev Tomar said that the movie would be conveying the message for youth that Khap Panchayat are not wrong in their decisions and these Panchayat never support girl foeticide.
It is to be seen that would the movie be making any difference in the general perception? There has been criminal cases registered against many families accused of killing their own children just because they wanted to have their love affair end up in a happy married life. Some Television serials also portrayed these Panchayats as against the love marriage and the girl child. The time will tell that what change the movie would be making in the society and what would its impact would be on the youth.
