There is one thing common between
all wrestling movies in India. Be it Sultan, be it Dangal, the protagonist uses
the same mode of transport, i.e Bajaj scooters.
Salman was seen riding one and now even
Aamir has taken forward the tradition. It is a fact that wrestlers still use
this old mode of transport and they are comfortable in it. This has given an
opportunity to pass on the blame for the poor condition of wrestling in India
on to Bajaj which for a long time now has stopped the production of scooters.
Bajaj has welcomed the criticism and has drawn out a plan to
revive the acceptable mode of transport in smaller cities. They even want to
associate with Dangal for promotion purposes. Bajaj has promised that it will
keep the scooters very cost effective so that all wrestlers can afford it and
their commute between home and stadium will be comfortable.
Companies like Honda and TVS are also in talks to launch special edition
vehicles designed for the wrestlers. Its good that movies like Sultan and
Dangal are bringing us closer on our traditional sport like wrestling.
