Bro majority of 90s movies gave me major cringe even as a kid. There used to be an abundance of rapey situations and scenes that was super uncomfortable to watch, and most of the time they were used to titillate/shock the audience or for comic relief (🤔).

That is my question too?

Kaha se aati hai itni mental strength to watch such films?😆

Mera ek baar bhi dekhne ka mann nahi hua after watching the songs😆. Itni tolerance nahi hai mujhme.

😆

Maybe I shouldn't point fingers since I've watched Race 3 😕

Plot twist. I always thought the movie was about Sanjay Kapoor.

It’s unbelievable how the cinema has normalized using the rape as a threat to teach the girls with an attitude problem. I remember watching at least 10 movies driving it home that the only way to teach a bad girl is to rape them.🤢 And to think that nobody even blinked. I remember my grandmother supporting the hero for resorting to such a step because the heroine had it coming and I bet that’s how general population thought about it as well.

As the title suggests, I happened to rewatch Raja after ages. Don't ask me what made me do so lol

I used to love the songs of this movie, Madhuri and Sanjay had good chemistry too but the movie was soooo problematic at many levels.

1. Madhuri's character Madhu forcing Raja to fall in love with her.

2. Raja testing her love by asking her to sleep with him 😔

3. Showing and announcing constantly throughout the movie thar Paresh Rawal's character Birju is paagal (mad).

4. Mental hospital are bad news where they give electric shocks to patient for no reason rather than actually treating the patient. This was very triggering to watch and they had multiple scenes where mental health was shown as a joke in the movie.

5. Madhu's own brothers who brought her up like their own daughter treating her like shit, beating her up, hiring a man who tried to rape her so that she breaks off with her lover. Honestly, all this was so painful to watch.

I know the movie released back in 1995 but I am just baffled with how many things were wrong with this movie. It honestly made me hate the fact that I actually had gone to theater back in the day to watch this crappy fest. 😔

Didnt he walk on glass ?

Yeah lot of such junk, one movie where she marries rapist, juhi and anil I think

All those movies about “teaching” arrogant women a lesson

It is good that nowadays such crap is being called out more

Even the 3 idiots joke would have founded flak now
