Role of cinema and mass media too! - Violence - Page 2

Don't even get me started about this "progressive" label that these shows are happy to assume...it's amazing that people actually swallow it! Every show begins by promoting itself as progressive (Zee tv is no different with their recent offering Punar Vivaah) but they soon (within weeks) settle into their familiar regressive routine of daughter-in-law abuse...

@Annika,

And the way you put and word every thought of mine so beautifully continues, standing ovation to you or this post.

The impact of social media and cinema is huge, the way they r glorifying the male ego and sterotyping a female as a bimbette who is
just happy with those shirtless pent up aggression of the hero , is actually harming not only the male pschyic but the girls after watchining their cine idols , dream about that brute force and get a thrll from it and wrongfully take it as a form of luv.

@Chitrashi, thank you for naming the serials , it pricks me how the female lead is basically a doormat for the fancies of her socalled lover and his amily.
Doordarshan was iconic it gave us gems like shanti , hum log etc, those glorious days.

This should have been hightlighted in the show,

Make movies but issue appropriate warnings, become passionate and active brand ambassadors, if an AB campaign can eradicate polio from this country , then the Three Khans supporting a campaign can result in sum change.

I hear you.

You know Aamir never names any of the perpetrators of violence/abuse, and I quite agree with that policy.

Wouldn't t be easier to name the serials that do not glorify DV? The list would be shorter.

This exact thing came to my mind when watching the show! Good for you for creating this topic! :)

Heroines complain of being pinched at public places or greeted with lewd remarks. But ever wonder how they invite this upon themselves the moment they agree to dance to songs like Choli ke peeche kya hai or Sheila ki jawani?

Can you guys risk a flop but stick to principles? How will people's psyche change if mass media itself peddles worst kind of stereotypes?

Agree with all your points...except...the one in bold... just because actresses dance to songs like Sheila/Munni.. doesn't mean guys can tease them... guys need to have the sense to understand that what the actress is portraying on tv.. is just a character and at end of the day an actress is like any other girl. The problem ultimately comes down to the fact that woman are more or less treated as objects (e.g. get married by certain age..or else😆.) in our society.Ok, now back to silent mode.😊
