Jaya Bachchan Criticizes ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’: “Is This Really a Name?”

Published

Bollywood legend Jaya Bachchan is known for her candidness, and she didn’t hold back her opinions regarding Akshay Kumar’s 2017 film, ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’. While the film achieved box-office success and sparked discussions on sanitation issues in India, Jaya Bachchan expressed her disapproval, even criticizing the film’s title.

At a recent India TV Conclave, she caused quite a stir by questioning the name. “Just look at the title of the film; I would never choose to watch a movie with such a name. Is that really a name?” she said.

She then engaged the audience, asking if they would be willing to watch a film with a title like that. When only a handful of people raised their hands, she joked, “Out of so many people, hardly four are interested—it’s quite disappointing. This is a flop.”

For those unfamiliar, ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ features Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar in a unique love story with a social message. The plot revolves around Keshav (played by Akshay), a man from a small town whose wife Jaya (played by Bhumi) leaves him upon discovering their home lacks a toilet.

Keshav then embarks on a mission to confront deeply rooted traditions to provide basic sanitation for his wife and their community. Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, the film is not just entertaining; it carries a powerful message supporting the Swachh Bharat initiative. It addresses the pressing issue of open defecation in rural India through a blend of humor, drama, and social commentary. Alongside Akshay and Bhumi, the film also features Anupam Kher, Divyenndu, Sudhir Pandey, and Ayesha Raza Mishra in significant roles.
