They used to burn the brides then wrote it off as kitchen accidents, now they’re chopping and boiling 🤢

Over time and decades BW Cinema has evolved to show many issues affecting the Society.

They tend to keep the one genre going for 10 years or so consistently even.

But there is one huge, huge issue, although shown, has not had much dedication shown to it.

A stream films flowing in the subject to drill the importance has not happened. Where as this is an everyday situation. It's also real and happening all the time.

Recently, I came across a story on YouTube. A Woman shown dancing in her wedding followed by a gruesome incidence thereafter where her inlaws and her husband killed her, chopped her up and boiled her body parts. And Guess Why? Yes Dowry.

I then looked at more and more upsetting content of the similar sort. Yes Dowry is deemed illegal. But how many are taking this seriously?

B/W only does a touch and go around this subject. Why are these incidents not a focus of attention? Why are we not seeing this reality in its ugliest form in Movies. Why is this subject brushed under the carpet so often of the atrocities these young girls and their families are seeing?

Have you watched Crime Patrol? They show Indian society at its ugliest

Am sure they’ve covered gruesome dowry deaths in some episode

Yeh.

Plus there's another story it was all in hindi. So I will need to get a friend to translate it.

And it showed the bride dancing and in the next frame.. he blood all over the place. Took me about 5 days to get over it and finally make this post.

Movies are fake

Even if BW deals with problems, they seem mostly like first world problems which are only relatable to the elite few of the country. Before 2000 the movies used to be much more grounded and were dealing with real life conflicts and problems. I don’t know how and when this change came about that most of the mainstream BW started tiptoeing through the real conflicts and indulging only in some imaginary mostly unrelated and first world problems.

Yeh. Like the biggest ongoing issue in the world for most families, is family drama.. saas bahu issues.

I think it was also govt that wanted films and serials to focus on feel good stuff or glorify traditions and festivals or rituals instead of showing harsh reality of society. They gave excuses that this content defames the country etc.

It is same as banning films on pogroms or rapes etc.

Since 90s, Indian cinema became more and more escapist.

Totally my line of thought there. The Govt is always trying to brush certain things that they can control better but don't to be out of the news.
