Jaan Tere Naam is a 2012 Bhojpuri Film directed by Ramakant Prasad, which features Khesari Lal Yadav, Tanushree Chatterjee and Viraj Bhatt in lead roles.
[1] The film is based on the mockery of Lavanda Naach performers and shows the prevalent idea of Heteronormativity in the society.
A village lad, who wants to be an actor, performs a Lavanda Naach at a wedding, after which his father calls him a Namard (not a man), and throws him out of his house.
[3] Akshaya Kumar, in one of his articles, writes that "the film sets in motion a dialogue about cultural practices that defy the feudal family and awaken its ‘deviant’ anxieties".
At the same time, he believes that despite an affiliation with familial honour, Khesari has "introduced a discomforting force in the narrative frame".
