Movie buffs go frenzy over 'Bhojpuri Spiderman'

Patna, May 03 (UNI) '' Hum Makar Manaw Hain, Ud kar aayab aur tohar tetua daba deb'' will be some of the dialouge in the forthcoming Spiderman-3, that is set to hit the theatres in Bihar on May four in its Bhojpuri version.

Cinema lovers are waiting for the 'Bhojpuri Spiderman' as it is for the first time that a Hollywood flick has been dubbed in the local dialect.

Kids and school going students who had watched the promo of 'Bhojpuri Spiderman' were eagerly waiting to hear their favorite hero delivering lines in Bhojpuri.

''I find it hard to understand the American accent of the earlier series and just try to make out from the actions but this will be real fun,'' said an enthusiastic Lalan Singh.

Ramakant Singh, a school teacher, finds it exciting to see American actors speaking in Bhojpuri on the screen.

''I have already watched the promo on TV and it was full of entertainment. People will be amused to see this world famous super star uttering dialogues in their dialect,'' he added.

Bihar and Jharkhand Motion Pictures Association (BIMPA) president Raghuvansh Singh said the Spiderman-3 would promote the language as a lot of Bhojpuri speaking people live abroad specially in Mauritius.

However, Bhojpuri film producer Yadunandan Mandal felt such initiatives would financially cripple the future of Bhojpuri movies.

The locations, art and culture of Bhojpuri movies were different from those of Hollywood, he said adding that the dubbing would not attract the audience.

The movie, to be released in theatres of UP, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh this Friday, was dubbed for Rs three crore, an amount to fund two Bhojpuri films, integrated media and entertainment conglomerate Percept Picture Company stated in its website.

It added that and as many as 50 to 60 prints of this Bhojpuri Spiderman would be released.

Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kishan, who lent his voice for Toby Maguire's Spiderman, said it was another way to promote his mother tongue.

Of late Bollywood stars 'Big B', Hema Malini, Dilip Kumar and Saira Bano have stepped into the fast growing Bhojpuri film industry.

With an annual turnover of Rs 100 crore, there are 150 films on the floor.

Apart from English and Bhojpuri, the movie would be released in Hindi, Tamil and Telegu versions.
