In the context of Haryana, the number of films produced remained very small till 1984. But when Chandrawal was released in March 1984, it created a stir in the film industry. Chandrawal broke all records on the box-office in Haryana, Western U.P., Delhi and parts of Rajasthan . But still, there was a long way to cover to bring the Haryanvi culture on the broad screen. The Bollywood movie Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola provides this much needed platform. An uneven beard, stud in the ears, careless dressing, rowdy walk and a bidi tucked behind the ear- the desi Haryanvi look sported by actor Imran Khan in the movie has got everyone talking about the Bollywood’s newfound love for a rather raucous Haryanvi culture. Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a political satire produced by Vishal Bhardwaj.He has also directed, co-scripted and scored the music for the film. The movie deals with almost every problem being faced by rural India at the moment. Though the movie did not get much success at the box office, nevertheless it is definitely a bold step by the director Vishal Bhadwaj to bring the culture of Haryana to the big screen. Thus it can be concluded that it has proved to be a creative piece of work in promoting regional voice which has not been heard so far at such a level.
