A film on color discrimination by a filmmaker who made her heroine look several shades lighter than her real skin in Bajirao Mastani.😆

I don't usually comment on this forum but this is exactly what I thought after reading the title f the topic

Wats new already he uses colors on furniture etc..., lol his each movie is on color discrimination lol

🤣

As everyone is ranting, I will rant too. He gave a fake unibrow for Padmaavat. Why he decided to give her a unibrow even when it doesn't suit her, I still don't understand. Padmaavat was supposed to be pretty but he ruined the look by the unibrow. Can't he just let her be the way she is. That unibrow ruined it for me. I would have enjoyed the movie a lot , if it weren't for the unibrow. His creativity gets so annoying some times.

I have an unibrow 😡and I actually hoped that after padmavat it'd be fashionable like it was during Kajol's era. And I wouldn't have to thread it anymore. Ouch😭

Anyways 😂 on a serious note. I got used to the unibrow. I do wonder how did women in ancient times thread eyebrows

That's the thing. The stereotype is right there in your mind. That one should look a certain way to appear as a Bihari, Punjabi or a South Indian. Why can't a dark skinned actor play a Punjabi? Are all Punjabis in India fair skinned? Are all South Indians in India dark skinned? No. I'm talking about that. These silly stereotypical tropes that Bollywood keeps recycling from trash that you need to be of a certain color to look a part. And if the requirement is really important why not cast an equally capable actor of the correct skin tone probably in things like biopics? Now don't tell me there was no one except for Hrithik who could play the protagonist in Super 30. I mean even with that truckload of dark makeup and fake Bihari accent, he STILL looks like Hrithik Roshan and not the original guy. So where is the purpose served? Would there be any difference if he was not given that dark makeup? Why would it make him less Bihari than what he looks now?

No one is asking actors or directors to stop experimenting. It's about time they stop stereotyping. And Hrithik, Deepika and Alia are all examples of that. Actually I would take Alia out because her role still demanded that (had forgotten her character in UP in my previous post) but what's the explanation behind a bleached Deepika and a dark Hrithik? And add all that extra dirt on him. Wth is that?

Yes. All Punjabis do have certain skin color than South Indians and Kashmiris do look like a certain way. It is a Fact. As far as purpose of taking Hrithik is concerned, i think the numbers talk for itself. His trailer already got 40 Million views and 1.1 Million likes. Those who write all these long writeups will not be even talking about the film if not for Hrithik. If it was a fictional film, maybe Hrithik wud hv played the way he is. But, when he is representing someone, he has to look a certain way - even if not exact resemblence.

And had he not tanned himself, those like u would hv been first to bash him for not getting the make up right. There was no extra dirt. What you saw was Holi colors.

This film is not about a famous figure. So, it required atleast a Big star to create an impact. Also, Hrithik can pull off all the different age groups from young to 47 years. If anything, this film is breaking the Bihari stereotype where it is a place of abuses and kidnappings. It is probably the rare positive depiction of Bihar where focus is on Education and a Top Mainstream star is playing it.

Huh?? What? I actually do know Punjabis who have a dark complexion. Some celeb examples: Ajay Devgan, Priyanka Chopra etc.

Also, not all South Indians are dark skinned either: Aishwariya, Nagma, Hema Malini, etc. are all South Indians and have a fair complexion.

Your posts are so stereotyped.... I mean seriously

I didn't know I had a unibrow until someone pointed it out. I stared myself in the mirror and saw a mild whirl pool in between my eyes. I hate it . I took a scissor and tried to get rid of that cyclone and ended up looking like a mess. Even the beauty parlor lady couldn't do a thing about it .

SLB is hurting the feelings of unibrow people by falsely joining Padmaavat's eyebrows.

I shudder to think how Aishwarya would look with unibrow , if she were the one to be doing Padmaavat.

Exceptions is not the norm. Punjabis and Kashmiris by built itself are very different than South Indians. If u disagree, u are only trying to be politically correct but far off from reality.

You clearly don't live in India and your point of reference of South and North India is Bollywood films. I can't even continue this discussion since the stereotypes are so strong in your mind since you've declared it as a 'fact'. 😆

I think u shud try making a film where Rajnikanth is passed off as Kashmiri without making any change to his look and see how many will laugh at you. Exceptions is not a norm. U clearly are out of touch with ground reality. Even Kajol was made fair and light eyed when she had to play Kashmiri in Fanaa.

And people asking filmmakers like Danny Boyle or Super 30 not to show Poor as Poor must remember this is not a Dharma or SRK film Chalte Chalte where even truck drivers are shown driving in Designer clothes. Go to slums and see how people live there and look. Film is not a documentary but commercial one. Hence, some liberty will be there.
