The laughter essentially translates into, ‘ ladkiyan toh hoti hi aisi hain‘, ‘so glad I am not one of those’ or the classic ‘I have always been one of the boys’! Or the sort who loves sex and ensures all your ‘needs’ are fulfilled because fulfilling your dreams of objectifying her as a sex object is the closest either of you have ever been to liberalisation.Īt the theatre, I find myself surrounded by men who whistle and women who laugh at every sexist dialogue mouthed by Sonu, Titu and his uncles. The stereotypical woman who is the ideal wife and gives you multiple orgasms along with baajre ki roti and is a perfect housekeeper to keep your ego game on point all day (well, sanskaariAF).
#DAILYMOTION SONU KI TITU KI SWEETY MOVIE#
This movie has the potential to offend any sensitive or, rather, sensible feminist in his/her senses to becoming what is, perhaps, every male chauvinist’s nightmare.īasically, according to Luv Ranjan, women come in two kinds. The rate at which this movie’s offensive plot had my blood pressure shooting is directly proportional to the director’s talentlessness. Overall, the film is a great entertainer in the anti-women genre, but sadly for Ranjan, it is not a proper category yet and thus the film deserved to called a sexist, 'eye-roll' worthy ride which will leave you frustrated and angry by the end of it.Before you ask me to ‘Chill, it is just a movie yaar’ or tell me how, ‘if I wanted something serious, I would have just stayed home and read a newspaper’ (yes, someone told me that), let me just throw some light on your ignorance. The film had all the potential with a good cast to address the millennial issue of 'third wheeling' and that would've been fun to watch, but instead, they decided to make it an out and out 'guy' film, slamming women for even existing and that bit hurts a lot. It's time for Ranjan to actually grow up in his thoughts rather than serving up the same mentality again and again. Thus, you know what kind of audience is going to laugh the loudest or even clap at the cheapest, most misogynist dialogue. It's always the guys in the film who needs rescuing from such poisonous creatures by themselves and their fellow 'good MEN' with no concept of heterosexual friendship or sisterhood in his films. But then, when has Ranjan actually portrayed women accurately? They are either conniving and manipulating or dumb enough to give two bucks about their life. Nushrat Bharucha is pleasant and deserved more than just narrowing her eyes or a plotting smile. Talking about the cast, Kartik Aaryan and Sunny Singh do have chemistry and you want to root for them but the glaring sexism keeps coming in the way. The film repeats itself at every given moment and is stretched to a point where the day and night of every wedding ceremony is shown! There are certain scenes which will remind you of Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, especially the treatment of the songs. There are so many eye-roll moments in the film that even your eyes start hurting after a bit and you actually have to watch the film.
And because the makers couldn't show the 'faulty' behaviour in Sweety's character, they made her say it out loud 'twice' that she's the 'bad guy' here for basically helping Titu built a life away from Sonu's toxicity (How dare she! This entire gender needs to be banished from the planet and just 'bros' should exist but the two men shouldn't convey their weirdly low-key romance with each other because it's gay and we are making a film for 'dudes').
But hey, we've enjoyed Pyaar Ka Panchnama, so what's so wrong with this film? Well, while the film lacks a basic sense of the world, it also misses the connection and over-dramatised depiction of something as relatable as friendship makes the film lose the touch. However, the makers decided to take the path most sexist and turned the entire plot and message into entertainment for the 'guys'. Now, to be fair the plot seems interesting and it might have been an enjoyable experience, had they kept at least the fight 'genderless' by making it between a best friend and a lover.
