I think the biggest lament women have with movies is that the wife always ends up forgiving the husband for his errors of ways. It seems to give the message that it is OK to be douches because women will forgive you. We rarely see a woman divorce or leave her man and have a happy fulfilling life. We rarely see the men realizing that mistakes are not always easily fixed with apologies and some can haunt you for life.

I don't blame cinema completely though. Indian society didn't allow women such rights and freedoms. Even if people sympathized with the woman, leaving her husband, especially after he apologizes is still frowned upon.

I still think SSS is a good movie because it made a progressive and slightly feminist point within a regressive village setting in a still regressive Indian society at large. It could have been better, but attempt was in the right place. It isn't as blatantly sexist as Biwi No. 1 or Masti where the wives are so quick to forgive their husbands sexcapades.

I wonder how Indian audiences would digest a comedy about women becoming bored and having affairs



I so agree with you RTH. And this is the reason why I loved QUEEN! Such an awesome movie and the best part was Rani returning the ring back to Vijay in style despite all his half baked apologies. I gave a standing ovation at that part. At least some kind of change is happening. More such movies should come up where it is should be made clear that men cannot get away with everything.

There's this film called Shaadi Ka Laddoo, in which Sanjay Suri cheats on his wife and has an extramarital affair, but his wife, who catches him red-handed, takes him back of course.

The 90s were notorious for sexist, extremely chauvinistic and highly misogynistic films. Boys will be boys was the moto of every script writer it seemed, and in every other movie the love would start with the guy chasing the girl and harassing her. Girls were virginal little angels who held on to those precious virtues till they got married.
I have not seen that Anil Kapoor Juhi movie everyone is talking about. But Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Rani's monologue in the courtroom about how she'll never have Baraat for her was just pathetic.

Some of the movies mentioned here are really pathetic...
There are plenty of sexist movies...

There was this one tamil movie with vijay and asin...sivakasii I think...asin gets eve teased by someone and the hero lectures her about how her clothing isn't appropriate(she wears a tank top and shorts I think) like he equates her top to a bra, her skirt to underwear and says women should wear saree to command respect and she does exactly that to woo and impress him...I'm like da eff...

Even the little dialogues like "ladkiyan buses ki tarah hoti hain, ek gayi toh dusri aayi"... I get that they r trying to give the message of not to spoil ur life for one girl and move on...but that's a horrible way of putting it...the above dialogue is said by many virtuous heros in the film but if a girl says something like this in movie, she would be shown in a "characterless" light...as if it's okay for guys to move on but not girls and they should just be a one man woman and pine for her lover...
