In the movie, the municipal commissioner has been portrayed as a "womaniser." Though the MCD has not lodged a complaint, its officials are angry. "The movie was touted to be a story of the sufferings of Delhiites during the sealing drive. However, it doesn't paint an accurate picture," said a senior MCD official, wishing anonymity. Other civic body officials feel that when the city was burning during the massive sealing drive, its top official couldn't have been so "insensitive". They blame the film's director for "wrongly portraying" the city's civic body's top chair.
Mehra, who has watched the movie, is upset with the protrayal of the MCD Commissioner's character played by actor Govind Namdeo. "I have seen the movie and am not happy with the portrayal of some top officials' characters. The director should have been more sensitive," said Mehra.
The MCD Commissioner, KS Mehra, denied comment.
Meanwhile, the Opposition too is backing the MCD in its protests. "I have watched the movie and also seen the real sufferings of people. The movie doesn't show reality. The sealing drive affected lakhs of people and the director should have been more careful while dealing with the subject," said Jaikishen Sharma, Leader of Opposition in the MCD.
