Did Mallika did better in Murder than Dipika in Gehraiyyan?? - Page 4

Most people seem to hate because of the problematic tropes in the movie regarding Infidelity. But all that aside the movie specifically stresses and shows the repercussions of cheating. How much more does it need to be spelt out for an average audience?

This is the same argument Rick from Our Stupid Reactions made in his review .That Indian audience can't handle infedility and hence the failure of Gehraiyaan. He even brought up the failure of KANK to support his pet theory. But it's too simplistic and you are infantilizing the audience. Plenty of Indian films(Hindi as well as regional) have successfully dealt with infidelity.Gurmrah (Sunil Dutt, Ashok Kumar Mala Sinha) Ittefaq (Rajesh Khanna, Nanda) for example. Regional cinema has gone even further.But the cheating character has to be real,sympathetic and connect with the audience. An abusive/bedridden partner is one such shortcut. If in KANK Preity was the one cheating, perhaps she'd have gotten more sympathy. Gehraiyaan was a niche film which had plenty of things going wrong for it.

No, both were trash 👎🏼

How will preity in kank get sympathy if she was cheating?

Preity in KANK is supporting her family of four singlehandedly. Her husband has an inferiority complex and talks her down at every opportunity. He can't even be happy for things which mean a lot to her - like her promotion. He isn't even nice to their child and undermines the child's confidence too. She's not getting the emotional support and she's under a lot of pressure. She's a sympathetic character and the audience would forgive her a lot easily than SRK and Rani.

Yes, and although Mallika isn't a really good actor , she had that oomph to pique the audience's interest; in contrast, Deepika's performance was rather flat and underwhelming.

Deepika herself appeared to be so sceptical by the role; seemed to have taken it on merely for the sake of being a little unconventional and didn’t really fully understand it , that’s why she couldn't shake off the habit of being ‘conventional ‘not-so-wrong’ female lead & proceeded to clumsily defend infidelity .😆

EXACTLY THIS!!!!

mallika was fantastic in murder whereas deepika was atrociously bad in gehraiyaan

On the other hand, I was plenty confused as to why they needed an intimacy coordinator for Gehraiyaan. Seemed like a waste money to hire someone for something that wasn't there😆

Maybe but a much better actress could have elevated the material i guess? because deepika is just a BAD actress who can never handle complex roles with her mediocre talent and pathetic voice modulation and poor dialogue delivery

Deepika did Gehraiyyan Sh*t and You did the Murder Sh*t 15 years ago. You think your’s is better than Deepu’s. Ok

ps: I hate Deepu for doing Gehraiyyan

Oh God! Ye saare comments se lag raha hai kuch khatarnak try kiya hai Deepu ne 😆

I am contemplating whether to watch or not. Don’t wanna be scarred.
