Though I'd like to watch mainstream Indian movies--I get turned off from doing so right from the get go-- the trailer!
Why? Because of the sexual Objectification of women-- the same old stuff in a new bottle..
In the past it was women being kidnapped by the villain, stripped and raped.. Now it is them slugging down bottles of beer or hard liquor (several more than the guys) and having premarital sex--- watch the 'Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya' trailer.
The girl appears to be trying to tell the guy-- 'I'm so much hotter and bolder (read) modern and progressive than you are'-- oh C'mon! That's oh so not 21st century -- please give us a break!
If that's supposed to pull in the crowds-- yes it very well may Mr. Karan Johar, but what are you conveying to the young men and women out there? That this is what a 'modern and forward thinking Indian woman is supposed to be like?' And if she doesn't drink or says no to premarital sex she isn't cool or 'hot' enough? In other words she becomes a 'Behenji'?'
You exploited us before and you're exploiting us now.
When is this immature and subversive trend going to stop?
When are you going to give us the credit we deserve?
Hope it happens sometime soon!
Thanks!
