Madam Chief Minister Poster: When Will Bollywood Stop With The Casual Casteism, Asks Twitter

Mansi Sharma by Mansi Sharma
January 5, 2021
6 min read
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

January 4, 2021, was a big day for actor Richa Chadha as she unveiled the poster of her latest film Madam Chief Minister. She tweeted, “Glad to present to you all, my new movie #MadamChiefMinister, a political drama about an ‘untouchable’ who hustles and makes it big in life! Out in cinemas on 22nd January! Stay tuned!”

However, as soon as the poster was unveiled, a problem obviously unforeseen by the makers of the film marred their celebrations. The poster has Richa holding a broom and wearing torn clothes, which sparked debates around Bollywood and casual casteism. Soon, there were tweets that displayed the general disgust around the Madam Chief Minister poster. Read on to know why.

The film, reportedly based on the life of former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati, releases on January 22, but it is already being talked about fervently.

“What does a Dalit leader going on to become CM have to do with holding a broom?”

Over the years, Bollywood in the guise of breaking caste barriers and making progressive cinema has furthered caste prejudices and solidified symbols associated with discrimination.
What does a Dalit leader going on to become CM have to do with holding broom?#MadamChiefMinister https://t.co/43ela4S78A

— Deepish M (@theKARUNA_virus) January 4, 2021

Of course. How do we tell that the protagonist is a Dalit woman ? Give her a broom because that’s what Dalits really do. Bhangi, Chamaron ka or kya kaam ? https://t.co/I7mCscMtRG

— Anubhav Singh (@lucifer_damned) January 4, 2021

“Dalits used to have a broom attached to their backsides so they wouldn’t pollute the land they were walking on.”

To people who don’t find this problematic: Dalits used to have a broom attached to their backsides so they wouldn’t pollute the land they were walking on. @RichaChadha it’s casteist to give Mayawati a broom. She was a teacher, respect Behenji how you respect your Savarna leaders. https://t.co/OBtdoX87Ag

— Sankul (@sankul333) January 4, 2021

These posters are all about the difference between the portrayal of Dalit Resistance when a movie is made by a Savarna and a Dalit.

Stereotyping is casteism. pic.twitter.com/cCstZ7kRsa

— Savarna Things (@SavarnaThings) January 4, 2021

Some people even questioned the factual integrity of the film, if it was, in fact, about Mayawati’s rise to power. Far from the imagery of the poster, Mayawati was a teacher before she joined Kanshi Ram’s Bahujan Samaj Party.

“Is this meant to be about Mayawati? Why is she holding a broom?”

I’m confused. Is this meant to be about mayawati? Why is she holding a broom? If it’s not, is it fiction? Even then why is she holding a broom https://t.co/p8827r3W9m

— Tejaswi 🍡 (@TejaswiRawal) January 4, 2021

When did Mayawati wear torn clothes or carry a broom? You use the word “untouchable” but the film’s cast is Chadha, Shukla, Kaul & Oberoi. This is like making a film about slavery and only feature whites. Why can’t you reach out to Dalits regarding how we are portrayed? Shameful! https://t.co/OBtdoX87Ag

— Sankul (@sankul333) January 4, 2021

“Why broom instead of a pen?”

Besides the highly casteist vocabulary, the poster shows how bad research is done in the making of this movie.
Why broom instead of pen?
When did Mayawatiji ever wear casual T-shirt or a nose ring (she always had nose pin) ?? #MadamChiefMinister pic.twitter.com/s3Gf7dszPs

— kalyani (@FiercelyBahujan) January 4, 2021

All the best for your role. I am a big fan of you.
But what does that broom mean?
Behen ji never hold in her entire political carrier.
If this represents the state of untouchability, producer has to increase his knowledge.

Anyway all the best once again for #MadamChiefMinister👍 https://t.co/AEtNEJUx1q

— Sangh 💫 (@SanghGautam_) January 4, 2021

Here’s how Richa Chadha responded to the criticism.

Had no idea I was being actively cancelled. LOL. Life outside twitterverse! Did a double take at accusations of glamour.
Thing is, from the perspective of the film industry ⬇️is the most “deglam look”. It’s also a still, (as in not from a photo-shoot, but a shot from a scene) https://t.co/XrtVXA0r3q

— TheRichaChadha (@RichaChadha) January 5, 2021

Am so sorry to have failed your woke agni-pariksha. Sorry to disappoint you, that me of all people can disagree with you on certain aspects of cancel-culture. Again, watch the film or at least the trailer? For we do become what we hate quite easily sometimes… https://t.co/lyNqGP3ZaZ

— TheRichaChadha (@RichaChadha) January 5, 2021

She even responded to an open threat…

आपकी धमकी बहुत प्यारी है। फिल्म के सभी पात्र काल्पनिक हैं। और मैं ब्राह्मण नहीं हूं। https://t.co/dkrWEoMrUd

— TheRichaChadha (@RichaChadha) January 5, 2021

Praises from the film fraternity

The poster release, however, had several people from the film industry going all out to show their support for the film. Many even congratulated Richa Chadha for picking a bold role.

Cannot wait for the trailer to hit .. this is big!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 #MadamChiefMinister https://t.co/gVK2INqoSs

— Ali Fazal M / میر علی فضل / अली (@alifazal9) January 4, 2021

After the humongous success of #Shakeela which released during Christmas 2020, Richa Chaddha is coming up with another film #MadamChiefMinister on Republic Day weekend 2021 .. expecting many records to be shattered. 👍👍👍 pic.twitter.com/JQ9gEVxqTI

— Sumit Kadel (@SumitkadeI) January 4, 2021

Go for it 👏🏼 looking forward to watching this one 🙂 https://t.co/shdpPIK08z

Happy Pathaan week, bachche! I say this only because Shah Rukh is so, so dear to my heart. He doesn’t know me (yet) but he is totally aankhon ka taara for Aunty Eve. And that’s why I’ve been excited about Pathaan since 2021! I waited two whole years for this phenomenon, and then, I saw some boys and girls being all angry about it. I caught professional protester Narangi Barangi while his gang was shouting “Boycott Pathaan” outside my local PVR. I asked him what his problem was so that I could solve it for him. That is my job, after all. Here’s how our little chat went. - @theauntyeve
