In the initial swirl of excitement and anticipation, Twitter erupted with positivity following the verdict on Ranbir Kapoor’s latest cinematic venture, “Animal.” The virtual sphere echoed with enthusiasm, prompting FUCHSIA to capture the moment in an article adorned with rave reviews from the early audience.
However, as more cinephiles flocked to the theaters, the narrative surrounding “Animal” has taken on new dimensions, revealing additional layers to the conversation. While FUCHSIA, committed to delivering informed perspectives, refrains from passing judgment on the film without firsthand experience, we are here to unravel both sides of the evolving debate.
Before We Get Into The Debate
The tweet that caught our attention sparked thoughts about Alia Bhatt’s movie “Darlings,” which also touched on the theme of abuse. However, in the film, the portrayal was handled with such sensitivity that it deeply resonated with the audience.
Twitter Calls Out Animal
“seeing the Animal reviews coming out and safe to say, Ranbir Kapoor now has the entire incel fanbase behind him. nothing revives a man’s career better than playing a character that slaps and chokes women on screen.”
“Nothing exposes the mentality of men in this country more than the fact that they urge you to look at Kabir Singh/Animal as fiction & outrage about Thappad cuz it apparently encourages women to ‘break their families’.”
“when a society is dominated by men with infested brain, a movie like animal is not the way to tell people what is problematic about these men. you are infesting more brains and validating the existing, these movies should not be allowed to be released in india to say the least”
“May a woman do a role like Ranbir’s in Animal and watch none of these men say “it’s just a movie”. We have seen the same people call for boycotts and mock anything they deem “anti-man” or “threat to society”. Only when it matches their worldview it becomes “just a movie”.”
“the movie (animal) is glaringly patriarchal, misogynistic and promotes violence as a masculine trait throughout, while also essentially showing that having money, power and privilege while being a man is an okay card for almost anything. it is just disgusting.”
“Rocky and Rani was such a positive masculinity movie, meanwhile Animal is downright misogynistic. Which one is a blockbuster? Now do we blame the actors or the public. It’s just showing you what’s the reality of the country.”
“Listen, if you’re still going to go watch Animal after seeing the trailer and reading the reviews, then just accept that you are entertained by content that is steeped in misogyny, violence and trauma. Also, accept that you’re filling pockets of people who glorify it. Et all.”
“animal discourse is stupid but personally, misogynistic movies are misogynistic no matter how great the sound effects or direction is. my priorities are the morals and premise, that surpasses any talent for me”
