Jahangir National University: Will Urvashi Rautela's Film Address The Real-Life JNU Controversy?
Vinay Sharma's film, JNU: Jahangir National University, has created a buzz with the release of its first poster on Tuesday. The movie boasts an ensemble cast featuring Urvashi Rautela, Siddharth Bodke, Piyush Mishra, Rashami Desai, Sonnalli Seygall, Ravi Kishan, Vijay Raaz, and more.
But Will This Film Address The Real-Life JNU Controversy?
The term "Tukde Tukde" gained prominence in the context of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), an educational institution in India. The phrase "Tukde Tukde" translates to "breaking into pieces" in Hindi.
The expression became widely known in relation to a controversy that erupted in 2016 at JNU.
In February 2016, a group of students organised an event on the JNU campus to commemorate the third anniversary of the execution of Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri separatist convicted for his involvement in the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. During the event, anti-India slogans were allegedly raised, and certain activities took place that were perceived as challenging the integrity of the nation.
The controversy escalated, leading to accusations and counter-accusations between different groups of students and political factions. The term "JNU Tukde Tukde" was used by some to suggest that there were elements within the university advocating for the breakup of India.
It's important to note that the controversy was highly polarising, and there were differing narratives about what exactly transpired during the event. The incident sparked a larger debate on freedom of expression, nationalism, and the role of educational institutions in fostering diverse perspectives.
The use of the term "JNU Tukde Tukde" has since been associated with political discussions and debates, often reflecting the deep divisions and differing ideologies within Indian society.
However, it's worth noting that the specific focus of the film JNU remains unclear at this time.
Controversial Imagery Sparks Discussion

This provocative imagery has stirred conversations about the film's potential controversial narrative.
