Anurag Basu's 'Barfi' may be making sweet
success story but bitter controversy seems to
trail the movie again. Even as the film is
winning accolades and is the country's official
entry at the Oscars, it has left a Kashmir
valley youth bitter and livid. 34-year-old
Majid Yousuf Dar who is a sports manager with
the state's leading Jammu and Kashmir, claims
the movie has used his picture without
permission. Majid alleges that the film
portrayed him in a bad light by showing him as
a bank robber. Dar, a resident of Srinagar's
Dalgate area, says he was flooded with phone
calls from friends in Mumbai and Delhi
immediately after the release of the film last
month.
