Dhanush made his Bollywood debut with the movie ‘Raanjhanaa’, which starred himself and Sonam Kapoor playing the leads, along with actor Abhay Deol playing a crucial role. The movie was released in the year 2013.
Now, actor Abhay Deol has taken to his Instagram handle to point out what he feels are the mistakes in the movie. He shared a movie critic’s take on the movie and mentioned how it is right and the movie indeed glorified sexual violence.
Abhay’s post read “Such clear and valid insight from @oldschoolrebel9 regarding the film Raanjhanaa. History will not look kindly at this film for its regressive message. It’s been a theme in Bollywood for decades, where a boy can (and should), pursue a girl until she relents. Only in cinema does she do that willfully. In reality we have seen time and again that it leads to sexual violence of some sort.”
He continued saying “Glorifying it on screen only leads to blaming the victim, as @oldschoolrebel9 explains it so brilliantly. Please do take time out to read her observations in the pics above.”
