‘Abuses have poetry’
Actors Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri launched the trailer of O’Romeo in Mumbai on Wednesday (Jan 21). While the trailer drew a largely positive response, a section of viewers questioned its heavy use of expletives and violence. Responding to the criticism, director Vishal Bhardwaj described the film as “a love story with a violent backdrop” and opposed censoring abusive language. Calling cinema “a mirror”, he said such elements reflect society, adding that “abuses have poetry” if used properly, a trait often seen in his films.
