Hasan Minhaj should know that ‘Teefa in Trouble’ is not a Bollywood movie

Confused Host


Hasan Minhaj, an Indian-American comedian who is best known for his Netflix show Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, recently conducted an episode where he was intercating with desi teenagers about what it’s like to grow up in America in 2019. The session was very interesting where he shared his experiences growing up as an Indian-American in the mid-2000s; they also discussed several other issues. At one point, Hasan asked a kid (Abeer Khan) what’s one of his favourite Bollywood film? Abeer replied, “Teefa in Trouble” and Hasan responded, “That one’s a good one.” Though it’s great that both of them have seen the film, it was disappointing that they called it a Bollywood film. We weren’t expecting this from Hasan Minhaj. Teefa in Trouble is a Pakistani movie, produced and co-written by its lead actor Ali Zafar. Ali has acted in several Indian films and this film was distributed by an Indian production house along with Mandviwalla Entertainment and Geo Films. That may have created the confusion but Minhaj needs to get his facts right.
