Javed Akhtar denounces Animal as dangerous - Page 2

Animal is definetly problematic

But even in 70s and 80s toxic male misgoynistic movies were galore

Even Amitabh bachchan acted in them. Like in one movie he kidnaps amritasingh and makes her do menial job because shes rich and think too hi-fi for herself (i had watched on TV do not know name)

In Dharam veer movie Dharmendra kidnaps heroine a princess and makes her do his mom seva

In 1990s salman does same to neelam kidnaps her makes her take care of his neice nephews

Even in 2000s misgynostic male movies were there. Why in 70s 80s and 90s in 50s also male hero were miosgynostic made their wives press their legs and fall at their feet like tripti dimtri in animal to prove wife love

Some of these 70s-80s were written by Javed Akhtar only

But that also does not mean we do same in 2020s too. Many indians are getting educated and working abroad. If they show such scenes by educated US returned hero than what will they show a less educated not so rich guy doing?

In general in last 5 years movies are becoming more male oriented and misgynostic by nature.

Hero nowadays is acting more villanish by nature than any real hero quality

I guess world and society is going back to how it was in 16th centrury values. Where mughals and khilji times had suppressed women and common ppl in general. Look at russia-ukraine whats happening from 2 years and no one not even UN/US dare speak against all are blind or looking their own benefits than morals or righteousness. That is how society has become ppl are individualistic after profits not after moral science or truth or righteousness etc unlike our parents/grand parents generations. Today its do anything but get on top and get first at any cost get rich at any cost

Before we would say look at US such selfish individual society now even asia and full world become same all look their own benefits and not bothered about impact on family, relatives, neighbours or society as whole. That is what Ranbir kapoor and vanga looked for hits and money not what impact animal has on society or young immature vulnerable men

Now he sees some movie as dangerous. Till now movies were supposed to be just entertainment na? Not to be taken seriously.. and an option for people to watch or not watch

I don't take his opinions seriously, but for once I agree with his sentiment!

People forgot this thread and buzzing on other similar topic thread

Everyone is selective. Because obviously we can’t express our opinion on each and everything. So we will talk about things that is more connected to us. So it doesn’t matter whether the person is selective, what matter is what he is saying.

Its called growth. Movies once find ok is toxic now, because we unlearn and learn and grow as a person. Then opinions change.

The success party said everything.

It's not about changing perspectives about what is considered toxic over a period of time. It's about the argument that movies are meant for entertainment and not to be taken seriously. Also that no one is forcing anyone to watch a movie. These arguments were given to a certain section of society which called against the propaganda shown in movies or their boycott. Cancelling movies is not much different from boycott.

Perhaps he prefers family oriented content produced by his kids like Mirzapur where a wheelchair-ridden bhudau asks his daughter in law to ride him .

I am sure villains in Hindi films have done far worse. Raped,tortured, killed.
