Swanand Kirkire Slams Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal & These Tweets Prove He's Not The Only One
Believe it or not, Sandeep Reddy Vanga¡¯s Animal is problematic on so many levels! The filmmaker is known to have had sexist and misogynistic plots in his previous films as well and despite criticism, he continues to project the same. Thankfully, some sensible minds are again massively calling out the filmmaker for Animal.
How did Swanand Kirkire slam Animal?
Strangely no industry person has criticised Animal as of yet. However, lyricist Swanand Kirkire has taken to Twitter and spoken his mind without his apprehensions. He shared, ¡°Mehboob Khan's - Aurat, Gurudutt's - Saheb Biwi Aur Ghulam¡.¡±
¡°Hrishikesh Mukherjee's - Anupama, Shyam Benegal's Ankur and Bhumika, Ketan Mehta's Mirch Masala, Sudhir Mishra's Main Zinda Hoon, Gauri Shinde's English Vinglish, Behl's Queen Sujit Sarkar Ki Piku etc. There are many such films of Indian cinema which taught me how to respect a woman, her rights and her autonomy and how many shortcomings there are still in this age-old thinking even after understanding everything.¡±
Swanand said that he is not sure if he succeeded in learning everything but he continues to improve every day all because of Indian cinema.
He continued in Hindi, ¡°But today after watching the movie Animal, I really felt pity for the women of today's generation. Then a new man has been prepared for you, who is scarier, who does not respect you that much and who considers it his manhood to bow down, suppress and be proud of you.¡±
Swanand also addressed the ¡®alpha male¡¯ definition from Sandeep¡¯s Animal.
¡°When the girls of today's generation were sitting in that cinema hall clapping for Rashmika, I in my mind paid tribute to every idea of ??equality. I have come home. Desperate, dejected and weak! Ranveer's dialogue in which he defines alpha male and says that those men who cannot become alpha, become poets to get the pleasure of all women and start making promises of breaking the moon and stars.¡±
Kirkire concluded, ¡°I am a poet! I do poetry to live! Is there a place for me? A film is making a lot of money and the glorious history of Indian cinema is being embarrassed! In my opinion, this film will determine the future of Indian cinema afresh, in a different, terrible and dangerous direction!¡±
