Ranveer's tone deaf post in the middle of a police brutality discourse - Page 5

I think the issue some have is not with the glorification of police force, but how movies like Simmba justify the extrajudicial killings perpetrated by the cops. Of course movies always depict that the person killed was a heinous criminal and thus the cop was 100% right and basically his illegal actions are justified. But reality is that police can misuse their power, they are not always right, sometimes the suspect might actually be innocent or for a crime like stealing, the accused gets beaten up severely because some cops can be assholes and no one bothers to keep them under check. Even sometimes when suspects land up in hospitals after ~interrogation~ we turn a blind eye because public believes that police need to use their danda to get them to confess. How many are true confessions, how many lie to get the torture to stop, no one knows, but movies usually show one side and that has contributed to the apathy we have when we see human rights being violated of those in custody.

I don't see attaching names of every police movie where police are shown in positive light, as the point you are saying. Your point is nice, but what I see is a simple trivializing and sensationalistic social media trail, which is doing nothing in favour.

People should talk about the police corruption, but bringing up a freaking stupid cop comedy action movie as if it's existence does change anything, like people will forget about the rampant corruption in our system due to Simbaa.

And all I can see is trivializing of a situation because some "activists" want to replicatt the George Floyd/BlackLiveMatters protests type situation in India, they tried it with CAA arrests, couldn't, so let's move on the next news.

Sorry, you can conclude that I am a privileged biased asshole of the highest order who doesn't feel the pain of others, but what I see is that the genuine cry for justice taken over by charlatans who protests not for the cause, but for the protests itself.

Oh so you have a problem with the numbers...Ok fine...You can assume whatever number you like! 🤔😆

Overhauling is needed of course, but what are you as an individual doing other than dissing the movie stars for not doing what you expect them to do is more important...When they tried to extract bribes from you, what action have you taken? You probably didn’t do anything because its not comfortable...And you will also laugh at a suggestion even...But then you want the overhauling, who according to you has to do it?

Heh? So all this is about Ranveer? I thought you were defending the police. Any PR agent worth his salt would have seen where this would have ended. People are angry and any movie star who thinks this was a right time to post about a movie where he himself plays a corrupt police officer is a moron.

What do you want me to do? Complain? Who do you want me to complain to? The Police? For what? For the Police being criminals? Great idea, would try next time. 😆

Who has to overhaul the police? The legislature and the executive. That's their job. They have the power to do it. It's not my job as an individual to work to better the world.

Do I live under any delusions that it will happen ever? No. That isn't going to stop me from acknowedging how corrupt policemen in this country are.

Which celebs spoke out against that police brutality incident in TN ? I can only name Shraddha , Aliaa and Richa Chaddha

You did by calling the uproar a 'witch hunting'.

yes it is, because the genuine crys for the justice is taken over by buffoonery. I rarely see the genuine criticism, but trivializing of situation by adding nonsense aspects like some stupid time pass movies about superhero cops, as if those movies change anything.

The dark sinister side is not the normal side though that you are trying to insinuate here...99% of the Police are duty bound and are the reason most of the world is still thriving!

That 1% counts.

I didn't say its normal but such prejudices exists, so does monsters like Bhramdatt. World thrives because of good doesn't mean bad doesn't exists.

Huh? so is that what you got out of it?

Of course you should complain...I did..It was not easy, but I got some results...I have the satisfaction of trying at least...Like I said, its not comfortable and I knew you will laugh it off...Because that’s the general reaction...You just want to stay within your comfort level but want to bring about a change...HOW?

@light Blue bold: And which planet are they going to descend from?

@Bold RED: I can’t even....What is the point of such acknowledging that will limit you to just whine about it but not find any solutions? 👎🏼

EDIT: @Dark Blue: I read that just now...So you who is talking about the system overhaul, isn’t even willing to give a benefit of doubt to a person that he probably didn’t keep up with what’s going on in down south? This is not about Ranveer or any actor for that matter....The matter is much bigger and more serious than trivializing it to complaining about-oh such and such actor did not do the right thing...Of course and the TM should have not brought him in...But then this is not the first time she chose to shoot her gun from someone’s shoulder!

Did I miss something?.....He is informing people about release of his movie.....This has nothing in relation with or in response to police brutality

The fact that any celebrity opens their mouth now...and a 1000 people on social media pounce on them will make us desensitized against everything very soon......atleast its happening to me.....its frustrating to see that we will now even bash someone putting out a poster of their movie to promote it....

It is getting so bad that now I don't even want to bash Ranveer and instead I want to support him....kya haal ho gaya hai mera...🤔 😲

Its not Ranveer...its us who have become tone deaf....that we refuse to sometimes take things at their face value...but try to look for things that were not even meant ...we imagine it...and then we bash them...

Mat karo aise.....otherwise...no one will pay attention...when these celebrties will actually do something wrong....aur celebrities bhi bash ho ho kar chikna ghada ban jaayenge....nothing will affect them...because everyone will be bashed for everything.

His film glorifies police. Promoting such a thing when a police brutality incident has shook the nation is insensitive and in poor taste.

Just like you wouldn't promote a film where you glorify stalking, at a time when there is a real case of stalking that resulted in someone's death or acid attack.

It's tone deaf.
