No I didn't feel so. First of all, its not South Indian ppl and their language on the whole. Only Tamil was used in the movie. I am not a Tamilian so I won't know if the Tamil spoken was authentic enough and I am pretty sure it wasn't. It was easy for me to follow the Tamil cos they spoke very slowly,usually I need subtitles for Tamil movies.

I didn't see any disrespect towards the culture or anything. It might be OTT but thats how SI movies are.😆

Rohit Shetty actually showed pretty places in South India too. 👏

um not really...I didnt find the while thing offensive at all, like Somy said I'm not Tamilian so dont know the technicalities of the language or how authentic it was but there weren't any stereotypes or anything like that in the movie.

And as Somy said the locations they showed were STUNNING gosh it made me want to book a ticket and visit South India myself

One more thing Tanya, I am not sure if it happens for everyone but whenever I click on the page you have posted on,my browser/net turns slow. I think your Gif signatures are too heavy! Plz can you rethink about using so many as your signature.

oh n deepika padukone playing a south indian made me wish i was a south indian too...

OH God. On his language,you dedicated a poll to him. Btw, i don't think he mocked south language. Even if he did, are u aware of South language as you could figure out he mocked?
