Kangana: Cinema Lens Harsh on Women
9 Jun
Summary
- Objectification is a broader societal issue beyond cinema.
- Cinema's portrayal of women has historically been harsh.
- Online outrage can be indiscriminate, blurring art and sensuality.
Actress Kangana Ranaut has commented on the ongoing 'Peddi' controversy, asserting that objectification is a societal issue present even outside the film industry. Ranaut acknowledged that cinema has historically depicted women harshly, citing examples like 'Sexy-sexy mujhe log bole'.
However, she suggested that the line between seduction and vulgarity can blur, and entertainment sometimes treads this line. Ranaut also criticized indiscriminate online trolling, stating that sensuality and sexuality can be integral to artistic expression and storytelling.
The film 'Peddi' is facing criticism for its portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor's character, Achiyyamma, including camera work and romantic scenes. Meanwhile, Ranaut's film 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddaata,' based on nurses during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, is set for a June 12, 2026 release.
