Those weren't female issues film. This one is. In an ideal world, this film would be led by a female star. But it wouldn't win at box office. That's just reality.

2ndly, there aren't ANY female stars who can come close to Sridevi in carrying a film. Rani's film, like I said, wasn't a female issue film.

Instead of waiting for perfection in a female issue film, I'll take this for now. Same was the case for Dangal for me.

Why do only females have to take up female issues. If a movie has a progressive male lead, it would inspire other males and set an example.

Dangal despite giving alot of focus on Aamir, we could say Geeta was the actual protagonist of the film based on writing, as the movie shows her growth as a character throughout and the climax belongs to her and Aamir's character was not at all a part of it.

They even pull the trope of "mentor not helping the main protagonist in the final battle". The lines become clear in the climax, where Geeta is the main hero and Mahavir Phogat is the mentor.

They could do something similar in this film and still make money instead of Ranveer taking the center stage. Pad Man was a biopic so it made sense why it focused on the guy because the real person was a man. Simmba was a typical masala film which used rape as a plot device, but so did Mardaani 2.

Overall not interested in this film. I'm done with these lighthearted social movies. If the subject is serious, I prefer a serious movie as well. Doesn't mean such movies shouldn't be made but don't know if it would work in theaters with OTT being a thing.

No just no. Ranveer I love you, you’re a fab actor and brilliant in it but the movie itself is problematic for me. Why in the world does Bollywood need to put a hero in the forefront in movies that are about women’s issues? That’s just wrong branding and misrepresentation.And not just this movie, there were many more in the past that did the same thing( padman, simba) I mean aren’t the male actors already monopolising everything? At least leave this genre( which is about women) for the women but no! they have to take that away as well. I mean the female lead is just a side character here for God’s sake. The whole narrative is about how cool and progressive Ranveer’s character is, ultimately it’s all about him, his name is in the freaking title. If you wanna make him the hero then do it, but don’t pretend to be all woke and caring about big social issues where the intention is just to cash on Ranveer’s popularity. If they think the audience is that blind or stupid to buy it, they’re wrong.

Well maybe coz through this particular movie they want to drive the point that woman is not the factor that decides gender of the baby.

OT liked the trailer had zero expectations from this but it is surprisingly entertaining.

True..on one hand we say men aren't sensitive to female issues..mainstream actors don't work in such issue based films..and when n actor like Ranveer does we say a female should have led it.

Would count when we start considering issues as societal and not gender based

Shalini and the girl who plays their daughter are with ranveer throughout the movie, the daughter is shown to be outspoken and she is the one who is motivating her father to be brave and stand upto his parents. They are Jayesh's parents and so he has to face them, but his wife and daughter are shown to be his strentgh and motivation

Than their is male ego and misogyny. If a female says a good thing also, many men instead of listening to what she is saying, tend to start crying about how females leave them heartbroken and so on or call her feminist and feminazis and so on.

Devdas type idiots are filled in India who tend to have developed a hatred for females because one girl broke their heart, and you can see that crap polluting the comment section of India social media pages and posts.

Because as a woman, I would rather fight for my own causes and see other women do the same. Having men take up the cause is fine because the world as it is doesn't pay attention to women, but it's like being made side character in a movie about my life.

Ofcourse but we also need man who can inspire other men to come out of thier box, where either they see women as just sex machine or hate women because they just can't cope with her. See we need to understand that if men start respecting and accepting that women are also an individual of their own, than it would help to speed up the process better. Sometimes men need men to explain them, and women need women to explain them. Yes it would be ideal if it wasn't like that, but sadly we haven't reached a stage, where men listen to women in general.
