Does cinema promote hate against educated women? - Page 2

Generally speaking yes. But teenagers and even young adults can be very impressionable and Hindi movies (I’m discussing the language I’ve watched) definitely promotes misogyny and sexism, sometimes under the guise of culture and patriotism. Their goal probably was to appeal to the conservative demographic or the male egos of single screens, but that’s doesn’t negate their messages.

I have noticed that a lot of movies where u thought the lady was a vamp for having her opinions was right. If u r watching old movies on YouTube u

Will see comments where they r like we thought she’s egoistic now we understand the guy was toxic. So I guess things r changing for sure. Recently when I was watching a pak drama and the guy was complaining abt his wife cos she hired a maid to help with the child after his mom created a drama a lot of people were supporting the wife instead of the guy. In olden times people wud be blaming the lady. Good thing everyone can understand that women are also humans and they need to have a life nkt just serving husbands and their family

But even 2000s are no better. Kareena has no dreams in JWM and when she starts working to support self she is shown to work as a last resort to hide face or cope with rejection and depression after Anshuman left her.

She is happy only after Aditya meets her and she gets married to him.

Or Bhandarkar films almost always show woman achieving success only by sleeping around and losing herself in process or disillusioned.

Rani's character is unnecessarily into cuss words in NOKJ.

Vidya also sleeps her way to top in TDP.

Only now we have some stuff like Gunjan Saxena or earlier Tejaswini which showed women being pilot or cop or Mardaani series with normal woman.

Anil IMO has done the most misogynist films of all actors in Indian cinema.

Bulandi was total crap and also showed rape victim married off to rapist in name of justice.

It used to for sure.....a padhi likhi ladki was sl utty while a gaanv ki anpadh ganwaar was a sati saavitri....but I don't think its like that now...

I agree but films do give wrong message to impressionable kids who see these films and have no prejudice or pre conceived motions or idea of world otherwise.

Yes cz many of his movies were South remakes including Bulandai

I am unable to foget (and mentioned here couple of times already) that climax scene where she is widowed at the exact moment Raveena gives birth and the birthing liquid (or whatever) splashes in Rekha's face and rubs her 'Sindoor" clean... 👏

According to Wikipedia the original source of Ladla is the Kannada movie "Anuraga Aralithu"

"which was later remade in seven other languages – in Tamil in 1992 as Mannan, in Telugu in 1992 as Gharana Mogudu, in Hindi in 1994 as Laadla, in Sinhala in 1996 as Mal Hathai, in Odia in 1998 as Sindura Nuhein Khela Ghara, in Bengali in 2001 as Jamaibabu Jindabad and in Bangladesh in 2002 as Shami Strir Juddho.

It was the first Indian movie to be remade in seven other languages"

So this theme seemed to be very popular across South Asia

Actually there is 'The Taming of the shrew" from 16 th century England which was adapted many times in modern times too :)

Funny I just ran across this reel on Insta. Fits right in with this topic and my point about the tide turning for the better.

Really loved Farhaan’s lines in this. I think men speaking these dialogues as part of a casual conversation will have a larger impact if more films are made along these lines.
