After Animal’s success bash, Kangana Ranaut questions audience for supporting "violence against women" films; hints at career change

Actress Kangana Ranaut, known for her outspoken views and unapologetic critiques, reignited the debate surrounding Sandeep Reddy Vanga's controversial film Animal.  Following the film's successful box office run and a recent celebratory event, Ranaut's social media post sparked discussion about the responsibility of viewers in choosing movies that may involve sensitive or controversial content.

“The latest trend of films where women are reduced to mere flower on the wall, violently and disgracefully stripped of their dignity and clothes is beyond appalling. Reminds me of the time when I entered films, vulgar item numbers, quick in and out sleazy and dumb roles against older men were prevalent,” read an excerpt of her tweet. 

Another excerpt of the Panga actress’ post read, “Said no to big heroes like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor. Not because I had anything personal against them, all for the cause of woman empowerment and today looking at the condition of women in films my heart sinks.” She concluded by asking, “is film industry only to blame for this? Audiences have no participation in this steep regression of women in films?”

The Queen actress’ tweet sparked a conversation in the comments section of her post. “Over the years, Bollywood hasn’t left any stone unturned to humiliate women and show them in lesser capacity as compared to men,” wrote an X user. Meanwhile, another added, “I fully agree with you, mam.” On the other hand, a section of commentators believe that Kangana is trying to create a controversy because her previous releases did not perform well.

Paid negativity for my films is overwhelming, I have been fighting hard so far but even audiences are encouraging women beating films where they are treated like sex objects and asked to lick shoes, this is deeply discouraging for someone who has been dedicating her life for… https://t.co/VExJHxRE3P — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) January 8, 2024

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
