Is Bollywood glorifying toxicity? - Page 5

Sunflower, we should tell our children (not only girls)!

Boys need to be allowed to be sensitive, caring, kind...even educated to be like that...

I forgot about that, boys being taught not to show their sensitive side always be assertive or told not to cry. Since the topic maker was talking about impressionable girls thinking they can change such men or its a form of love, that is why I mentioned.

If the women got more support from their families when they are being abused, the cycle can only break then. The children learn from action not words.

Boys & Girls should NEVER be ashamed to get help or ask for help.

Any support group or support system can help them 👍🏼

If they want it.

To an extent yes movies, books n shows do show men as toxic but show them as deeply loving the female lead.

Toxic masculinity is appealing to watch until its not directed towards oneself. Similar case with gun culture.

Girls too like watching that she can tame a man in her love. Though all these r true just in fiction. Also it adds drama n twists to story which is necessary to make ppl watch.

In Pakistani show "Zindagi Gulzar hai " the girl chose Zaroon who was a flirt, patriarchal n toxic n not osama who was a really sweet n better person.

Because there would be no drama if male lead r sweetu types.

Men r quite emotionally paralysed which is a reason for major problems of world- war, riots, rape, abuse etc. If men would be more emotional n sensitive like woman it would have solved major problems of world. Women too r bad but its man who contributes majorly to crimes.

Just my observation.. No one likes abusive people (irrespective of the gender of abusive people) unless they are masochists😆.ofcourse It happens in movies like Arjun reddy/Kabir Singh and in half of Gul khan TV shows where heroine likes abusive hero.I agree with glorifying part... like in Arjun reddy/Kabir Singh they play heroic background tune in the trailers. People would get confused ki why are they playing such tune on such character. More than hero I was annoyed with heroine in Arjun Reddy where she is OK with random stranger kissing her on first sight, In reality the guy would get slap on his face but in movies they romanticize such things 😆.

When it comes to crime scenes, yes movies can influence the people who is already criminal minded.. I personally know such incident. A girl who I know got killed along with her mother by murderers by cutting their throats. This happened in their own home. One of the murderers was just 17 yr old,he himself said that he got the idea how to kill by looking at some crime show. So yeah Movies can influence but at the same time the criminal minded people can get info from anywhere as the information overload is there everywhere these days.

That Shraddha incident is spine chilling and scary. Brutal punishment should be given to that murderer. He should be killed in the same way he killed shraddha. I'm really scared to write this Para about him. what if that murderer is roaming in India forum and end up reading this Para about him 😆.. I'm generally scared of even psychokiller movies😰.. In Shraddha case toh real psychokiller hai, so I hope he doesnt read this my Para about him😰.

naazin _ Every PH (Production House) will play into a concept they feel THAT SELLS

A lot of these concepts are STEREOTYPES that may not be ALWAYS fully accurate.

It is therefore up to the CONSUMERS TO DECIPHER a healthy sense of reality. 👍🏼

She wanted to choose Osama but she was a little late in making up her mind by when he was already engaged and getting married. Zaroon was her second choice.

She wanted to chose osama when her family started forcing her for marriage. But her acceptance for zaroon came when he saved her from "not letting hot tea fell on her n burnt his hands in process.

A toxic man but a saviour for female forms crux for many stories. All ekta n Gul khan love hate story r built around similar point n female fans r crazy for toxic male leads.

Women loves toxic men, you can't blame any on that's apart from women them selves.

Not her family but basically her sister, was forcing her to choose one of the two and she just found a reason to give in. If Osama was available, he would’ve been her choice. She never went out actively pursuing Zaroon but she actually called up Osama to say yes to him and clearly chose him over Zaroon.
