‘Mi Thokat Nahi, Mi Todto’: Baramati Youth Faces Pune Police Action Over Viral Reel Inspired By Marathi Movie Mulshi Pattern

Pune: Youth inspired by the 2018-released Marathi movie Mulshi Pattern posted a reel in Pune's Baramati area. The reel went viral, and many criticised the concept, as it promoted anger. Pune Rural Police have registered a case against a young man who uploaded a video on social media containing threats and intimidation, officials announced on Monday.

Police said that the youth picked up a line from Mulshi Pattern's protagonist character, named Rahul Patil. The young man lip-synced the Marathi dialogue, "Appa Mi Thokat Nahi O, Mi Na Todto. Majha Patternch Vegla Aahe." This translates in English roughly to, "Appa, I don't just hit, I break. My pattern is only different," and captioned it with 'Sarkar. No Compromise.'

The reel clearly showed a depiction of human violence, and so did the movie context, where the protagonist threatened a politician character by saying this dialogue.

According to police reports, the concerned young man had posted this video in the context of a murder attempt case in Vanjarwadi. Under the guidance of seniors, Baramati Taluka Police verified the matter and registered a case for the attempt to create terror and fear.

Taking the matter seriously, Police Inspector Chandrasekhar Yadav has strictly enforced the law and filed a case against the youth. The Baramati Taluka Police are being praised for taking strict action against those who display hooliganism and bullying on social media.
