Cardinals one nation under God shirt
In India, we don’t just watch films but we consume them and we restructure our lives based on films. When Shah Rukh Khan stands on a hilltop and stretches his arms wide open to propose to his girlfriend, every SRK fan follows suit. When Salman Khan declares his love for a girl by changing his hair style, every self-proclaimed ‘bhai ka fan’ does the same. And when Arjun Reddy walks back into his college and decides to choose his girlfriend without asking her, there is a risk that this could become the new way of choosing a girlfriend. This is why Arjun Reddy as a film is deeply problematic.
While Arjun criticizes his friend’s brother-in-law for objectifying women, he himself forces Preeti to befriend a fat girl because ‘fat girls will be loyal friends’. Isn’t labelling a girl fat objectifying her? While he waits patiently for Preeti to make the first move, his gentlemanly gesture here is highly questionable because he never gave her the option to choose him in the first place. He chose her and forced his love on her. So is it okay to be a gentleman and respect women after you forcefully get into a relationship with one?
