I understand your perspective, you are looking at it from a non influence/impact point and I get that! I was just trying to make sure you understand where I am coming from on my views toward it from obviously a very different perspective.
My opinions are developed due to a change I want to see in the industry, and the fact that huge age gap still exists and stories repeatedly glamorizing relationships between an older man and younger woman personally upsets me, b/c I thought we were moving beyond that as a society. The fact that she does look super young just enhances this negation in my point of view. There is certainly a huge impact on what is presented in the media/movies on the indian audience. The fact that she is 26, no one knows that. but visually presenting a very young looking girl with an older man and presenting/glamorizing this as acceptable influence mindsets at the end of the day, and impacts the culture of relationship dynamics which sadly targeted in opposition of older women.
In terms of characters and stories, I have no idea what this film is about. In today's time, no one realistically will find the story unappealing if it is done correctly.
and just to add-this reminds me of what srk said in an interview on romancing younger women on screen. He answered, look at donald trump and his wife are so many years apart (something of that sort)-that justified him being able to romance women half his age on screen (f that is not influence, i dont what it is)--this is the point im trying to make.
Thanks for understanding. Now I understand where you are coming from as well. Seems like this was just a misunderstanding of different perspectives. I was not even thinking it in the way you were, but your comments made me reevaluate and opened my mind to something that hadn't even passed my mind. I wasn't even thinking about how that when I commented, so again thanks for bringing that to my attention. I guess it's such a "big elephant in the room" that no one wants to talk about, but rather I think we as a society should talk about it, like the impact if any and if we should keep such a thing cinema or if it should stop. Your views are clear and again show you are good, smart person who cares about society with a big heart, so I wish you well.
