"Animal," featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Ranvijay
Singh Balbir, revolves around toxic masculinity and family dynamics. Ranvijay's alpha-male
portrayal and transformation dominate the film, emphasizing his loneliness and
strained relationship with his father. Despite an intriguing premise exploring
masculinity within a father-son relationship, the storyline remains shallow. Engaging visuals
and action sequences mask the lack of depth. The narrative takes a disturbing turn as
Ranvijay's abusive
behavior towards his wife, Geetanjali (Rashmika Mandanna), escalates. The
film glorifies his brutality, disregarding the need for accountability. It sidelines nuanced
portrayals of female characters and undermines their agency, using humiliating situations to
emphasize the protagonist's masculinity.The entry of Bobby Deol as the antagonist adds further
violence without offering a character to root for. The film's obsession with phallic references
and an apparent intention to shock and trigg
er the audience perpetuate concerning themes
without addressing their impact. Ultimately, "Animal" leaves a discomforting impression by
normalizing and glorifying abusive behavior. The series like "Four More Shots Please!"retains
engaging conversations and the camaraderie among the leads, but it feels repetitive as
their problems loop without growth. The stunning cinematography creates a distant,
almost unrelatable setting. The narrative lacks intensity despite delving into deeper
issues,
losing momentum midway and rushing through in the final episode. While the
actors excel, the characters stagnate, and secondary roles are constrained by familiar
tropes. The show, while still holding potential, has lost some of its initial charm, needing
to rediscover its essence and depth. The movies like "Animal","Thank you for
coming","Animal" promoting extreme feminism and extreme masculinism simultaneously should
not be watched and even if its being watched, should be taken only as a p
urpose
of "entertainment". Had these been taken as an influential creation by the
so-called directors and actors of the movies, we would lose our practicality on
societal balance and creativity. According to the data collected by the National
institute of Health government, Indian cinema, particularly Bollywood, often shapes fashion
trends, lifestyle choices, societal perceptions, and even career aspirations for many youngsters.
Surveys and studies might offer some insights into the impact
of Indian cinema on youth culture
and behavior, but they may not provide a concrete statistical rate applicable to all youngsters
across the country. While movies entertain, inspire, and provoke critical thinking, it's
vital to assess their messages. By guiding youth toward positive, inclusive films, we
can harness cinema's power to entertain, educate, and inspire, fostering a more
informed and compassionate society.
