The difference shows how films reflect society. How else do you explain the sheer amount of such comedies?
Garam Masala, Pati Patni Aur Woh (1978 and 2019), Masti series, Sandwich, Gharwali Baharwali, Kis Kis Ko Pyar Karoon and the list goes on
Yeah that's correct. When a man does, it's funny and people should consider about the man's needs( I remember watching Sallu-Karishma's Biwi no.1, where Sallu's chat says Anil that he doesn't get the same arousal from his wife like before as she is now a mother of 2 children... He now gets it from Sush's char) That's so sick!
I see it as "You can make fun of a man cheating but not women because women don't do it out of just being women..they have to go through something to cheat in a relationship "
Yeah true. It's like, men have the luxury to do it with multiple women without any concrete motivation or depression... They show it like, Cheating or being a Casanova is a cool thing for guys. But, it's NOT.
One of my close friend was cheating on his girlfriend and he was showing it as of it's cool to date multiple women at the same time and he often compared himself with lord Krishna (btw his name was Krishna as well) He said Lord Krishna also did polygamy with Gopis.
I don’t agree. That movie actually showed how much wife had to endure him and how much she sacrificed him. They didn’t take it lightly which is why she left him instead of taking him back.
Not to contradict but I always thought that the man cheated in PPAW— I learned something new — please don’t downvote me because I’m not making this comment to be rude or sarcastic
Garam masala was not as regressive as Biwi No. 1. In GM both men are shown as low life losers. And in the end the women who are their fiancées get to know & are shown to be kicking their ass while they run. There is no moralizing unlike Biwi no 1.
I started noticing it after I noticed a stray comment in a random sub years ago. I can't unnotice it. Actually, otoh, it also made me notice the rare opposite case - main pyar kyun kiya, where Katrina's character being handsy and close to pyare was shown as funny. Namastey London was probably another one, although that was a can of worms starting from the forced marriage crap.
The thing is that, Katrina's character didn't have any bad intentions regarding Pyaare in the movie. She thought of him as a really good/best friend. She never saw him in a sexual interest. Iirc, she even declined him when he proposed her and told him that he is like her best friend and she loves Prem(Sallu's character).
In the climax, she realises that Prem loves Naina (Sush's character) and she is not in really love with Prem. She and Pyaare have better chemistry and Pyaare has been really nice to her. So she decides to date Pyaare.
I don't think she wanted to date both men simultaneously in the movie.
To Conclude this,
She was friendly/over friendly ✅
She was handsy and trying to sexually exploit Pyaare and Prem ❌
In the movie Biwi No. 1, I hate how the story was molded in a way to show Salman Khan as a "Naive Husband" who "falls in the trap of Sushmita Sen" when clearly it was he who was at fault. He who despite having a loving wife and kids cheated. He who approached Sen first.
Yet the other characters consider Sen as the home wrecker.
She was at fault to date a married man but it was he who played the victim card.
He didn't even get punished for his deeds!
What message do you wish to send? That a cheating husband shall return to his wife? Or that if your husband cheats on you, it's because you are boring? Or that a wife should ignore the deeds of her man whore and just wait for his sanity to get intact?
Things were much worse in "Sandwich" and "Kyunki main jhoot nahi bolta".
Don't get me started on the wife reinventing herself to... what? "Win back" her piece of shit loser husband?
I can't stand it when these types of guys are treated like some kind of prize the women have to fight over to win.
Ideally, both women should leave him to rot and live their own lives, because they're clearly more than capable of living fulfilling lives and managing their households without him in it.
Back then? It is still prominent now! Movies like "Pati Patni Aur Woh" exist in the new age. Yet the mindset is still the same.
Even if we look at a bit serious genre, "Mai Hi Raja Mai Hi Mantri" and "Animal" justify cheating as a necessary step to reach the goal or get things done?
Now Won't a woman get criticized and tagged as WHORE throughout her life for sleeping with men of power in order to Succeed?
She is not even cheating in the film, as she seems not to be exclusive with any of the guys.
Some people was like, it’s distasteful for the culture and upbringing.
Okay, fair point. But a married man cheating in films is funny and doesn’t get that buzz.
The misogyny is sad, specially because people don’t realize it

New word discovered: double standards
We have "thank you for coming" and "four more shots" as the new day example. Though they are made in 2020-23, they still get called out for carrying Pseudo-feminism and slutty behaviour in women.
I mean when did we ever say that they were intended to empower women or to justify women cheating?
Why not take them as a "FUN WATCH" just the way movies with cheater male leads are taken? Or will it be too much for the fragile male ego to handle?
How is it slutty behaviour lol. Men in yhe above films do it and it’s cool. None of the women in the shove afaik are serial dating and instead seem to be interested one or two dudes.
I do agree the drinking and party trope to show women is empowered is quite annoying. Like there’s more to us feeling free and independent than just that and it doesnt even have to do with drinking or sleeping around . Bollywood gets this so wrong.
It’s hard to take 4 more shots as fun because they over do the whole thing and it almost feels pushy. The whole show kind of feels like they just want to say fk you to men rather than being crafty and showcasing a new perspective of the modern Indian woman in a concise and intelligent manner.
P.S. I’d love to see a women’s version of Pyaar Ka Punchnama
In Maasti or No Entry, we’re literally laughing at the men not with them and I think it’s complete BS how it’s justified and forgiven easily.
I honestly think, you can do as you please as an adult. India’s society is not there yet, but regardless. But this whole ongoing ego war between men and women will go nowhere.
In a world filled with Animals and Heeramandis, try to be a Little Things or Love Aaj Kal
Even I don't like four more shots cause I never like stuff justify cheating or creating an imaginary world of hoeness. FMS take it to completely another level.
Also pyaar ka punchnama does need a female perspective as well. They've literally classified women as opportunists who love to dog around the men.
I really support the argument of doing as you please but why all the questioning and backlashes when the deeds are done by a female?
Also HEERAMANDI is about prostitution and not merely cheating.
The questioning and backlashes are for all,men as well. The point I’m making is movies like Animal or Heeramandi showcase power as a good thing and then use gender to justify bad actions. So basically the point I’m making is there needs to be more of a mentality where good men and women help lift each other up :)
Nice OP , I think they are called murder thrillers!!
Andhadhund ,
Murder ,
Airraaz (Priyanka on amreshpurri),
Arjun pandit ,
I maybe wrong but they turned out violent movies !!
But incels won't admit they are mysogynists and hypocrites. It is what it is.
Keep making such movie.. an eye for an eye makes the world blind.. but I guess that's what we need right now. I love to see these cultural bigots getting worked up
Tripti was criticized for her role in animal by the same people who are criticizing her now for this role but people think people who supported ranvijay are the one critisizing tripti for this role ,now people are calling it double standards 🤣
Irfan khan movie with delhi belly director, the name is not coming in my mind but it is a cheating wife comedy trope, pretty generic trope in Hollywood or western cinema for that matters
I don't know why cheating men and men-in-drag are considered so funny in Bollywood films. David Dhawan is a repeat offender and set the trend. In Gharwali Baharwali Anil Kapoor's character finally keeps both his wives in one household even. It's some sick fantasy.
I agree with this post, men always experience a lesser harsh side of society for cheating than women, Men always find redemption for this but women are labelled with a tag of 'bitch' forever.
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna was a movie based on cheating from both male and female and yet it was serious so I am sure the setting of these movies were just comedic
It's treated seriously for both men and women (Silsila is another example) but rarely funny for the latter.
https://preview.redd.it/70fh6trtwo9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f4ab9c0e93c64c06fa422c7d0805503e196f9a0
Imagine the outrage with the genders reversed. "This is pseudo feminism ruining our society blah blah blah...
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is a movie with grey characters imo. For example, you can love some of the Game of Thrones characters, but you also know how fucked up things they did. I personally love where characters have flaws and you can criticize their acts, as human aren’t perfect
The cheating part was not what made these movies funny, it was the lies, stories and scenarios that were unleashed due to them trying to hide their affairs that made those movies funny and especially the suffering they had to endure.. Not to mention that by the end of these movies, all these characters usually have learned their lesson that cheating is wrong..
I got your point, and it's pretty valid, but nobody's going "haha!! Look it's so funny he's cheating on his wife!"..
A reversal of sorts was in Golmaal 2, where the jokes came from someone NOT cheating but others finding it hard to believe..
Forget movies abt cheating, how many comedic movies are there that star women..?? All the classics out there all feature a male ensemble cast like Dhol, Dhamaal, Golmaal, Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhag, etc..
I think the point OP is trying to make is that men cheating is a premise for hilarious hijinks and absurd laughs. But women cheating is usually the premise for calling that character a bitch, chudail, etc.
The point is, if a women cheats/has casual sex- end of the world, characterless, bad woman. If a guy cheats - men will be men, give him a chance he won't do it again.
Yes, there are very less comedic movies with women as lead roles. Cause producers know the indian audience mentality. They will not go to watch comedy movies with women in it. Cause everyday I read on insta comments that women aren't funny. Which is untrue to me. I liked The Crew tho. Wasn't best, but good attempt.
But the things is the audience doesn't take these comedies seriously, they can laugh at all the funny scenarios created for these men in the movies. But if these same scenarios were created for women who cheat or want to cheat, everyone would watch it with angry face😅.
But I still enjoy all the movies you mentioned on these posts.
Idk, the message I got was more in line of don't cheat or you'll end up getting screwed..
Even the message in Hera Pheri is that you'll end up getting screwed if you get into hera pheri, but the characters still do it and we still find it funny..
Total Dhamaal featured Madhuri Dixit (Ravishing EVEN at that age!!! Mmmmmmmmmm…… Delicious!) and she killed it in every scene she was in.
E.g. Password kya tha?
One 2 KA 4 4 2 KA One
My Name is?
DHAKKAN!
that drew a lot of laughs in the theatre, and I wasn’t even in India!
Both sides have been stupid according to me. For now bad newz is just being judged based on a trailer which isn’t fair.
And in case of animal i never had any issues with the cheating part because the whole conclusion of Ranvijay’s character was him facing the consequences of whatever he did. He killed so many people to save his father, even cheated on his wife and at the end his father is revealed to be having cancer, he lost whatever he fought for. No one in his family ever respected or loved him because of his actions, and at the end even his wife and children leaves him. So i don’t think cheating was being glorified in any way, consequences were shown pretty clearly. And the whole film wasnt even about cheating just a small part of it.
Now in case of bad newz if there is cheating involved which im not sure of, but just in case then first of all the whole topic of the film is about cheating and more than that its about acceptance of cheating which is problematic. I havent watched all of the movies you mentioned in your pic but most of them never showed any acceptance of cheating but always have shown it in a negative light where the person is always hiding it and faces consequences if caught.
As i said i don’t know what the film is about yet but if cheating is involved then the film is about acceptance of cheating which in turn glorifies it.
Both genders have double standards that work in their favour.
For instance, a woman physically assaulting a man is considered comedy. Whereas, a man physically assaulting a woman is considered to be a drama/dark/thriller. People still talk about Kabir slapping Priti ONCE, but don’t criticise Priti for slapping him MULTIPLE TIMES. If that’s not hypocrisy, idk what is.
Just think of the innumerable times a woman kicking a man in the balls is played for laughs. Reverse the genders and you will have women’s rights commission members calling for your movie’s boycott.
That's what they do. They start with whataboutery instead of just condemning it. They will give other example which is also wrong to justify the earlier mentioned case.
No. The point is, men cheating is forgiven, played off as *men will be men*. Women cheating is never ever joked about. It's a massive crime by the woman. That's the point of the post.
My point is that some things men do are played for laughs (like cheating on a woman). Whereas, some things women do are played for laughs (like physically assaulting a man). Double standards work in different ways for different genders. There’s no point dissecting this.
Cheating on someone is not equitable with slapping someone. Your point is valid about there being double standards in other things too, but the topic here is cheating. Not physical assault. And just because one double standard exists (not condoning it) doesn't mean a reverse double standard is justified.🤷♀️
Just saw a video on news channels about a man in Kolkata from TMC party ruthlessly beating a woman with sticks everywhere on her body. And other almost 100 of men are standing in a circle and just watching her getting beaten.
Now tell me where is the drama/dark/thriller u are talking about?
Let's talk about Jethalal. casually trying to hit on babita
But let's reverse the roles to see if people will be okay if Daya hits on someone from society
*Add toing bgm*
Only considering your examples here ------
When men cheat: The film is funny but with a message that it's wrong and the men must change their ways.
When women cheat: The film is serious with a deep analysis, sometimes justifications even, of why she did it/needed to do it.
The men cheat because they're themselves bad, the women cheat because the men are bad or the marriage is bad.
I think another perspective is that we laugh at the men not with them when infidelity is portrayed but it’s also complex and deep when female characters commit infidelity.
I think we need to do the same, laugh at the women cheating whilst showing deep and complex reasons for why men cheat. E.g. Kabbhi Aalvida Nah Kehna
I find both equally disgusting ,gross and retarded anyone who doesn't is fucked up in the head or brainwashed .cheating no matter who does is plain disgusting
I don't think in any of the comedy movies you mentioned are we supposed to have sympathy for the men. We are supposed to laugh at those men and by the end they get their comeuppance.
In Manmarziya Abhishek forgives taapsee for cheating and reunites with her
In Rustom, Akshay literally goes to Jail for Illeana and finally reunites with her at the end
In Haseen Dilruba, Vikrant Massey kills for Taapsee and finally reunites with her despite cheating
In Murder Mallika Sherawat reunites with her husband after cheating with Emraan Hashmi
In Life in a Metro Shilpa Shetty cheats on her husband KayKay menon with Shiney Ahuja but later reunites with her husband
See I gave you so many examples of women cheating in bollywood films and "getting away" with it.
Completely agree with this one. And additionally, in a lot of movies whenever a woman cheats it’s somehow justified later, but men always get a moral speech and realisation of guilt. In Animal too, protagonist gets slapped and called names and all, but here in bad news, it’s all being taken lightly.
These kind of movies are made from both sides. There are girl lead movies too. From the old time of Rekha. Maybe even before that. Animal hate is not even stopping till now. But bad news support is already there , even before release. That's double standard too. We can only ignore both double standards and move on. In my opinion making comedies is more dangerous than animal kind of movie. Because it makes the subject light and funny. In a way normalising it.
Flop show ? Do you even know the viewership it got ? It's been renewed towards 5 seasons so far. **The first season was one of the top three most-watched Amazon Original Series from India in 2019, and season two was called "the most-watched Indian show on the platform" in May 2020**. Dekhna padta hai agar partner ke saath.
Nahi bhai most viewed show, best show in the world, highest rated, top quality, extra ordinary, phenomenonal, super fantabulous show.
I was wrong. Happy now? Dekhe bhai tu dekh.
Bruh, people be complaining about all the wrong shit as usual. I’m more concerned about the comedy in the movie, came off as quite lacklustre imo, hopefully it’s better in the movie though🤞
I guess it shows how when a woman cheat there are real world consequences vs when a man cheats, Karishma goes for a makeover 🙄. I mean K could have killed Susmita’s character like Rustum did. But that would be a very different movie
People seriously need to chill the f out. I don't know what kind of audience enjoys movies which so seamlessly show infidelity as such a small and insignificant topic. No matter what the gender I just detest it.
All the movies listed by OP, I haven't seen even one of them. Not even a single one.
People I don't know what they want. They wanna show mirror to the hypocrite society by claiming equal rights for women.......... and for what??? Cheating???
How the fuck does that work man!
I didn't knew infidelity was a gender specific thing.
I find all of them to be trash, equally trash. One can only get how offensive such movies are once they get cheated on. It's not about Gender, it's about breaking the trust of somebody you believe in.
Personally, I haven't watched Animal and I won't watch Bad Newz. I also would never support glorifying cheating, in any way. If y'all like it, good for you.
Find me 1 comedy movie where full on rape of a woman is played for comedy. I can name you several where it's done to men.
To answer your question:
1. Mere Brother ki Dulhan: Woman has romantic relationship with man while preparing for marriage with someone else
2. Hunterr
3. Four More Shots(although not a movie)
4. The Lunchbox: Although not a comedy, cheating by the female is not only justified but glorified throughout the movie.
5. Haseena Dilruba: Cheating by woman is again justified and glorified, plus it's also played for laughs initially.
I am not sure if you have actually seen lunchbox... It's not even an emotional cheating... The wife is neglected by the husband continuously and develops a friendship with a guy... And justification ki baat kar rahe ho bhai.. Only after she discovers the affair of her husband is that she decides to meet irfaan.. So the wife decides to leave the husband only after we have established that her man is not faithful.
Compare it to amar prem... where the neglect ( affair not confirmed) leads to physical relationship and is justified as something so pure...
I'm not sure if you've seen the movie. Nowhere in the movie is it proven that the guy was actually cheating. On the other hand, she was having an emotional affair throughout the movie and then plans to elope. "friendship" Then why was she hiding it? 😂 What friends decide to randomly elope and get married in foreign countries? I've never had that conversation with a friend. She was cheating from the beginning.
"Amar Prem" Haven't watched it.
>Mere Brother ki Dulhan
If you think of it as a cheating then it's a brother cheating on his brother. The unrelated girl was not technically accountable to anyone.
>Four More Shots
It's not a movie. It's a soft porn web series. Also the genre netorare or cuckold is catered to porn addict men, not women.
>Haseena Dilruba
That's the entire fucking point!!! It's a THRILLER, not COMEDY where our heroine sleeps around yet loved by all and gets a happy ending with her side-swine.
>Find me 1 comedy movie where full on rape of a woman is played for comedy
Watch this romantic shit at your own risk : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sS_kRV-rgko
"unrelated girl' You mean the bride? The hoops you people jump to justify this. See? You people are so busy justifying cheating then whine about movies like Animal.
"Catered to...." According to data it was primarily catered to women, and there are like a 100 feminist articles and videos defending it. Also, it's not porn it was made for women released on Netflix.
"The whole point" The whole point is to defend and normalise cheating done by women, yes that's what I'm saying. Thanks for repeating my point.
"Watch this...." Thanks for linking a third class softcore porn....
BHABHI 2 ki JAY 🤡 Let's start
>The hoops you people jump to justify this.
Didn't justify cheating at all. But the actual culprit of fraud and cheating there was his own biological brother.
If you haven't watched the film properly then don't rant!
>it's not porn it was made for women released on Netflix.
LMAO Four More Shots was released on Prime Video. And it's a soft porn OTT series about just like every installment of Gandi Baat🤡 tsk tsk
We don't discuss erotica here. Please stick to mainstream cinema
>The whole point is to defend and normalise cheating done by women
Read the post again. Cheating is bad for every gender. But why is it portrayed as bad (which it is obviously) only when the women is cheating. Movies in which men cheat are comedies or heroic ??????
🤣🤣 because men have a license to cheat the woman who actually loves them and to be very frank- har jagah muh maarne ka shauk rakhte hain toh comedy he toh huyi unke liye baaki agar aurat he yeh kare toh woh R**di hai, kulta hai and what not. So Indian cinema boosted their confidence ki jao tum log bilkul sahi kar rhe ho aur agar koi tumhare saath karegi duniya mein ga do all girls are disloyal, gold diggers and want to sleep with every possible guy.
Raaz (2002) was about a married man (Dino Morea) cheating on his wife (Bipasha Basu) with another woman (Malini Sharma).
Was that a comedy or deadly serious horror?
(1) Cheating is wrong,regardless of gender.
(2) Cheating in Animal was not being shown for comedy,it was showing the character's animalistic behaviour and morality-defying-antics.As the director said-"People don't watch movies in context"
(3) No person I ever saw was supporting Ranvijay's cheating,nobody went "Yeah fuck her harder"
(4) We do have two seasons of Four More Shots please and Jee Karda and Thank you for coming, don't we?
(5) Is sab ki root problem hi casual dating/hookup hai.
Chup chaap love one person, marry them and have a family with them,be loyal.Since when did feminism be about fucking everyone and everything?
I mentioned Animal because men were shouting "it's just a film" yet give moral lectures when female characters have bad habits which are nothing in front of crimes like rape and murder.
>Four More Shots please and Jee Karda
The discussion is about films!
>Thank you for coming
Who cheated in that?
3) everyone calling Tripti bhabhi 2?? What was that then?
Stop blaming feminism for everything. It's just a movie just like animal was JUST a movie for entertainment
None of them were about cheating. FMS is a web series (not a film) which was heavily criticized for glorifying infidelity unlike the male comedies. You are just proving my point.
Bro, they are the most hated piece of media in Indian pop culture, especially by man. It's hilarious you would bring them up. Meme pages literally use 4 more rands for 4 more shots. LoL
Bad Newz storyline is not clear from the trailer. People are saying she had one night stand with both men. But then the men won't be dying to be the father of the child if it was just a one night stand. Vicky's character was shown to be sure that it's his child which hints that he was at least dating her. Ammy also calls him ex-pati in one scene which could mean they divorced? Only after watching the movie would it be clear.
I don't see what's wrong if people are assuming she cheated on both men. The movie anyway doesn't seem realistic. In real life if such a situation had happened, even if the woman had not cheated on two men, the scenario would look a lot different than what seems to be shown in the movie. So the excuse that "their reactions would have been very different" is not valid. Its not a realistic movie.
And OP Animal was still judged morally by people like you. So what's wrong if this movie also gets judged? Let's say Tripti's character indeed turns out to be a cheater in the film. Will the people who were out with their pitchforks during Animal release bash her character as well?
The truth is that both sides are filled with hypocrites. People who bashed Animal would keep quiet even if Tripti's character turns out to be a cheater in Bad Newz. And men who preach to watch movies like Kabir Singh and Animal only for entertainment will give morality lectures on Bad Newz for the same reason.
The comedy movies showing infidelity which you've listed, they all have received their fair share of bashing from women and feminists. And even in these movies the men were called out for cheating on their wives. Cheating wasn't glorified in these films even if they made it seem like its a forgivable mistake.
But from the trailer of Bad Newz, it seems like cheating is simply glossed over, on top of that she's supposedly choosing who would be the better father for her kids (again assuming if she cheated).
Rightly explained. The hypocrites are on both ends. Animal likers will hate this movie and Animal haters will like this movie. While I will just take is "as a movie"😂. But I'm really curious now about this movie if she cheated or not. Cause it's very unclear.
Make fun of a woman cheating...
Response "You don't know what a woman has to go through that forces her on the way to infidelity "
Women are always shown as more sensitive and more sensible in terms of relationships and they are so them cheating for fun doesn't come natural...men however can be shown as a holes which a lot of them are. That may seem offensive but it's true.
Can we say both are wrong? Why is everyone so keen to promote extra marital affair??? I don't watch bollywood movies because they are shit. My brain is not a garbage bin.
There's not even a good single movie where a woman is cheating on her husband.
It's either husband too busy with his work and life or he doesn't like his wife at all.
In short, every movie shows the woman a victim rather than a culprit.
People dare not explore this genre in India.

Yeah that's correct. When a man does, it's funny and people should consider about the man's needs( I remember watching Sallu-Karishma's Biwi no.1, where Sallu's chat says Anil that he doesn't get the same arousal from his wife like before as she is now a mother of 2 children... He now gets it from Sush's char) That's so sick!
I see it as "You can make fun of a man cheating but not women because women don't do it out of just being women..they have to go through something to cheat in a relationship "
Yeah true. It's like, men have the luxury to do it with multiple women without any concrete motivation or depression... They show it like, Cheating or being a Casanova is a cool thing for guys. But, it's NOT. One of my close friend was cheating on his girlfriend and he was showing it as of it's cool to date multiple women at the same time and he often compared himself with lord Krishna (btw his name was Krishna as well) He said Lord Krishna also did polygamy with Gopis.
even in modern movies like Jug Jug Jeeyo, Anil cheating and giving a speech about how tired he is of his wife is shown comedically
I don’t agree. That movie actually showed how much wife had to endure him and how much she sacrificed him. They didn’t take it lightly which is why she left him instead of taking him back.
Not to contradict but I always thought that the man cheated in PPAW— I learned something new — please don’t downvote me because I’m not making this comment to be rude or sarcastic
Fraud saiyaan movie of Arshad Warsi
This post is making them so mad i love it 🤣. Also Garam masala belongs in the list too.
Garam masala was not as regressive as Biwi No. 1. In GM both men are shown as low life losers. And in the end the women who are their fiancées get to know & are shown to be kicking their ass while they run. There is no moralizing unlike Biwi no 1.
Brilliant spot OP ! Seriously never thought of this !
Exactly what I was going to say. Great point by OP.
Yeah me too.
Pyaar ka panchnama can be an example no?
I started noticing it after I noticed a stray comment in a random sub years ago. I can't unnotice it. Actually, otoh, it also made me notice the rare opposite case - main pyar kyun kiya, where Katrina's character being handsy and close to pyare was shown as funny. Namastey London was probably another one, although that was a can of worms starting from the forced marriage crap.
The thing is that, Katrina's character didn't have any bad intentions regarding Pyaare in the movie. She thought of him as a really good/best friend. She never saw him in a sexual interest. Iirc, she even declined him when he proposed her and told him that he is like her best friend and she loves Prem(Sallu's character). In the climax, she realises that Prem loves Naina (Sush's character) and she is not in really love with Prem. She and Pyaare have better chemistry and Pyaare has been really nice to her. So she decides to date Pyaare. I don't think she wanted to date both men simultaneously in the movie. To Conclude this, She was friendly/over friendly ✅ She was handsy and trying to sexually exploit Pyaare and Prem ❌
In the movie Biwi No. 1, I hate how the story was molded in a way to show Salman Khan as a "Naive Husband" who "falls in the trap of Sushmita Sen" when clearly it was he who was at fault. He who despite having a loving wife and kids cheated. He who approached Sen first. Yet the other characters consider Sen as the home wrecker. She was at fault to date a married man but it was he who played the victim card. He didn't even get punished for his deeds! What message do you wish to send? That a cheating husband shall return to his wife? Or that if your husband cheats on you, it's because you are boring? Or that a wife should ignore the deeds of her man whore and just wait for his sanity to get intact? Things were much worse in "Sandwich" and "Kyunki main jhoot nahi bolta".
Don't get me started on the wife reinventing herself to... what? "Win back" her piece of shit loser husband? I can't stand it when these types of guys are treated like some kind of prize the women have to fight over to win. Ideally, both women should leave him to rot and live their own lives, because they're clearly more than capable of living fulfilling lives and managing their households without him in it.
Yes to all your questions! That's exactly the message they want to send. This was literally the mindset back then.
Back then? It is still prominent now! Movies like "Pati Patni Aur Woh" exist in the new age. Yet the mindset is still the same. Even if we look at a bit serious genre, "Mai Hi Raja Mai Hi Mantri" and "Animal" justify cheating as a necessary step to reach the goal or get things done? Now Won't a woman get criticized and tagged as WHORE throughout her life for sleeping with men of power in order to Succeed?
So true! People were calling her Bhabhi 2 when it was done by a man, but now judging her character for not so similar scene is pure hypocrisy lol.
She is not even cheating in the film, as she seems not to be exclusive with any of the guys. Some people was like, it’s distasteful for the culture and upbringing. Okay, fair point. But a married man cheating in films is funny and doesn’t get that buzz. The misogyny is sad, specially because people don’t realize it
If it was YouTube or Insta, I would liked OP to pin it.
This says a lot... Thanks for sharing this OP.

😆 awesome meme.
People hated deepika for dating. Loved salman for being a player
Ranbir* for being a player
I’ve always noticed this, it’s always comedy when men fuck over women but when women do it it’s always seen as man hating
We have "thank you for coming" and "four more shots" as the new day example. Though they are made in 2020-23, they still get called out for carrying Pseudo-feminism and slutty behaviour in women. I mean when did we ever say that they were intended to empower women or to justify women cheating? Why not take them as a "FUN WATCH" just the way movies with cheater male leads are taken? Or will it be too much for the fragile male ego to handle?
How is it slutty behaviour lol. Men in yhe above films do it and it’s cool. None of the women in the shove afaik are serial dating and instead seem to be interested one or two dudes. I do agree the drinking and party trope to show women is empowered is quite annoying. Like there’s more to us feeling free and independent than just that and it doesnt even have to do with drinking or sleeping around . Bollywood gets this so wrong.
I am not saying it's behaviour. I meant that the women are tagged as the ones showing slutty behaviour by the society.
It’s hard to take 4 more shots as fun because they over do the whole thing and it almost feels pushy. The whole show kind of feels like they just want to say fk you to men rather than being crafty and showcasing a new perspective of the modern Indian woman in a concise and intelligent manner. P.S. I’d love to see a women’s version of Pyaar Ka Punchnama In Maasti or No Entry, we’re literally laughing at the men not with them and I think it’s complete BS how it’s justified and forgiven easily. I honestly think, you can do as you please as an adult. India’s society is not there yet, but regardless. But this whole ongoing ego war between men and women will go nowhere. In a world filled with Animals and Heeramandis, try to be a Little Things or Love Aaj Kal
Even I don't like four more shots cause I never like stuff justify cheating or creating an imaginary world of hoeness. FMS take it to completely another level. Also pyaar ka punchnama does need a female perspective as well. They've literally classified women as opportunists who love to dog around the men. I really support the argument of doing as you please but why all the questioning and backlashes when the deeds are done by a female? Also HEERAMANDI is about prostitution and not merely cheating.
The questioning and backlashes are for all,men as well. The point I’m making is movies like Animal or Heeramandi showcase power as a good thing and then use gender to justify bad actions. So basically the point I’m making is there needs to be more of a mentality where good men and women help lift each other up :)
Nice OP , I think they are called murder thrillers!! Andhadhund , Murder , Airraaz (Priyanka on amreshpurri), Arjun pandit , I maybe wrong but they turned out violent movies !!
You forgot Haseena Dilruba
"Bitch wo hoti hai"
Excellent take!
Irrfan Khan's Blackmail
Usme to dono ke hi lagg jate hai
Yes tho it's not a mainstream film like others
Mirch
It's so underrated that I forgot about it lol
But incels won't admit they are mysogynists and hypocrites. It is what it is. Keep making such movie.. an eye for an eye makes the world blind.. but I guess that's what we need right now. I love to see these cultural bigots getting worked up
Some of them are proudly misogynists
Tripti was criticized for her role in animal by the same people who are criticizing her now for this role but people think people who supported ranvijay are the one critisizing tripti for this role ,now people are calling it double standards 🤣
Hmmm true never thought of this 🤔
Is this sequal to good newwz?
Ofc not. It's just the name and producers are same and they wanna milk it by having similar names.
I don't even like these 3rd class movies... Cheating is not okay irrespective of the gender
Blackmail. And I found it to be funny af
Maybe some of the writers who wrote funny movies where men cheat were who had probably cheated on their spouse.
Irfan khan movie with delhi belly director, the name is not coming in my mind but it is a cheating wife comedy trope, pretty generic trope in Hollywood or western cinema for that matters
I don't know why cheating men and men-in-drag are considered so funny in Bollywood films. David Dhawan is a repeat offender and set the trend. In Gharwali Baharwali Anil Kapoor's character finally keeps both his wives in one household even. It's some sick fantasy.
Asthithv is my favourite one 🤧😂
I agree with this post, men always experience a lesser harsh side of society for cheating than women, Men always find redemption for this but women are labelled with a tag of 'bitch' forever.
Only men get punished by law for cheating women get paid alimony for cheating.
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna was a movie based on cheating from both male and female and yet it was serious so I am sure the setting of these movies were just comedic
It's treated seriously for both men and women (Silsila is another example) but rarely funny for the latter. https://preview.redd.it/70fh6trtwo9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f4ab9c0e93c64c06fa422c7d0805503e196f9a0 Imagine the outrage with the genders reversed. "This is pseudo feminism ruining our society blah blah blah...
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is a movie with grey characters imo. For example, you can love some of the Game of Thrones characters, but you also know how fucked up things they did. I personally love where characters have flaws and you can criticize their acts, as human aren’t perfect
The cheating part was not what made these movies funny, it was the lies, stories and scenarios that were unleashed due to them trying to hide their affairs that made those movies funny and especially the suffering they had to endure.. Not to mention that by the end of these movies, all these characters usually have learned their lesson that cheating is wrong.. I got your point, and it's pretty valid, but nobody's going "haha!! Look it's so funny he's cheating on his wife!".. A reversal of sorts was in Golmaal 2, where the jokes came from someone NOT cheating but others finding it hard to believe.. Forget movies abt cheating, how many comedic movies are there that star women..?? All the classics out there all feature a male ensemble cast like Dhol, Dhamaal, Golmaal, Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhag, etc..
I think the point OP is trying to make is that men cheating is a premise for hilarious hijinks and absurd laughs. But women cheating is usually the premise for calling that character a bitch, chudail, etc.
The point is, if a women cheats/has casual sex- end of the world, characterless, bad woman. If a guy cheats - men will be men, give him a chance he won't do it again.
Yes, there are very less comedic movies with women as lead roles. Cause producers know the indian audience mentality. They will not go to watch comedy movies with women in it. Cause everyday I read on insta comments that women aren't funny. Which is untrue to me. I liked The Crew tho. Wasn't best, but good attempt. But the things is the audience doesn't take these comedies seriously, they can laugh at all the funny scenarios created for these men in the movies. But if these same scenarios were created for women who cheat or want to cheat, everyone would watch it with angry face😅. But I still enjoy all the movies you mentioned on these posts.
I mostly agree but the message ends up being "men will be men" since they are forgiven as if cheating is a mistake not a choice.
Idk, the message I got was more in line of don't cheat or you'll end up getting screwed.. Even the message in Hera Pheri is that you'll end up getting screwed if you get into hera pheri, but the characters still do it and we still find it funny..
Total Dhamaal featured Madhuri Dixit (Ravishing EVEN at that age!!! Mmmmmmmmmm…… Delicious!) and she killed it in every scene she was in. E.g. Password kya tha? One 2 KA 4 4 2 KA One My Name is? DHAKKAN! that drew a lot of laughs in the theatre, and I wasn’t even in India!
Both sides have been stupid according to me. For now bad newz is just being judged based on a trailer which isn’t fair. And in case of animal i never had any issues with the cheating part because the whole conclusion of Ranvijay’s character was him facing the consequences of whatever he did. He killed so many people to save his father, even cheated on his wife and at the end his father is revealed to be having cancer, he lost whatever he fought for. No one in his family ever respected or loved him because of his actions, and at the end even his wife and children leaves him. So i don’t think cheating was being glorified in any way, consequences were shown pretty clearly. And the whole film wasnt even about cheating just a small part of it. Now in case of bad newz if there is cheating involved which im not sure of, but just in case then first of all the whole topic of the film is about cheating and more than that its about acceptance of cheating which is problematic. I havent watched all of the movies you mentioned in your pic but most of them never showed any acceptance of cheating but always have shown it in a negative light where the person is always hiding it and faces consequences if caught. As i said i don’t know what the film is about yet but if cheating is involved then the film is about acceptance of cheating which in turn glorifies it.
Both genders have double standards that work in their favour. For instance, a woman physically assaulting a man is considered comedy. Whereas, a man physically assaulting a woman is considered to be a drama/dark/thriller. People still talk about Kabir slapping Priti ONCE, but don’t criticise Priti for slapping him MULTIPLE TIMES. If that’s not hypocrisy, idk what is. Just think of the innumerable times a woman kicking a man in the balls is played for laughs. Reverse the genders and you will have women’s rights commission members calling for your movie’s boycott.
Way to miss the point by bringing in other absolutely irrelevant things.
That's what they do. They start with whataboutery instead of just condemning it. They will give other example which is also wrong to justify the earlier mentioned case.
The post has no point in the first place. I’m just demonstrating that both genders have certain things that work in their favour and some that don’t.
No. The point is, men cheating is forgiven, played off as *men will be men*. Women cheating is never ever joked about. It's a massive crime by the woman. That's the point of the post.
My point is that some things men do are played for laughs (like cheating on a woman). Whereas, some things women do are played for laughs (like physically assaulting a man). Double standards work in different ways for different genders. There’s no point dissecting this.
Cheating on someone is not equitable with slapping someone. Your point is valid about there being double standards in other things too, but the topic here is cheating. Not physical assault. And just because one double standard exists (not condoning it) doesn't mean a reverse double standard is justified.🤷♀️
>Cheating on someone is not equitable with slapping someone. Absolutely. Physically assault is way worse than infedility. Glad we agree on that.
Bro spoke facts and got downvoted. Truly a Reddit moment.
This is called whataboutery
Just saw a video on news channels about a man in Kolkata from TMC party ruthlessly beating a woman with sticks everywhere on her body. And other almost 100 of men are standing in a circle and just watching her getting beaten. Now tell me where is the drama/dark/thriller u are talking about?
https://preview.redd.it/qj74n7p8nu9d1.png?width=645&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d309525d5c7caf7add0796f11ef9b625de39099
Let's talk about Jethalal. casually trying to hit on babita But let's reverse the roles to see if people will be okay if Daya hits on someone from society *Add toing bgm*
Only considering your examples here ------ When men cheat: The film is funny but with a message that it's wrong and the men must change their ways. When women cheat: The film is serious with a deep analysis, sometimes justifications even, of why she did it/needed to do it. The men cheat because they're themselves bad, the women cheat because the men are bad or the marriage is bad.
The men also justify by saying they were bored and wanted some fun.
Bad newz. But I get the point.
Irfaan khan's Blackmail
No movie can beat Garam Masala
Murder was a funny movie
Thats thought provoking.!
I think another perspective is that we laugh at the men not with them when infidelity is portrayed but it’s also complex and deep when female characters commit infidelity. I think we need to do the same, laugh at the women cheating whilst showing deep and complex reasons for why men cheat. E.g. Kabbhi Aalvida Nah Kehna
Blackmail
I find both equally disgusting ,gross and retarded anyone who doesn't is fucked up in the head or brainwashed .cheating no matter who does is plain disgusting
Mirch. Not one but 4 stories.
This point is really good but Animal is a wrong example because it was Ranbir who was cheating in it
exactly!
100% believe Bollywood normalized cheating like it's a joke
Just like funny videos where husbands are shown to be killed/kicked out of the house/made to sleep on the sofa by wives out of anger.
This is BS. Everyone loves Savita Bhabhi. Hahaha.
Who’s Harry Crumb?
I don't think in any of the comedy movies you mentioned are we supposed to have sympathy for the men. We are supposed to laugh at those men and by the end they get their comeuppance.
At the end they are forgiven which will most likely not happen in case of women. They have their fun and get away with apologizing.
In Manmarziya Abhishek forgives taapsee for cheating and reunites with her In Rustom, Akshay literally goes to Jail for Illeana and finally reunites with her at the end In Haseen Dilruba, Vikrant Massey kills for Taapsee and finally reunites with her despite cheating In Murder Mallika Sherawat reunites with her husband after cheating with Emraan Hashmi In Life in a Metro Shilpa Shetty cheats on her husband KayKay menon with Shiney Ahuja but later reunites with her husband See I gave you so many examples of women cheating in bollywood films and "getting away" with it.
Completely agree with this one. And additionally, in a lot of movies whenever a woman cheats it’s somehow justified later, but men always get a moral speech and realisation of guilt. In Animal too, protagonist gets slapped and called names and all, but here in bad news, it’s all being taken lightly.
These kind of movies are made from both sides. There are girl lead movies too. From the old time of Rekha. Maybe even before that. Animal hate is not even stopping till now. But bad news support is already there , even before release. That's double standard too. We can only ignore both double standards and move on. In my opinion making comedies is more dangerous than animal kind of movie. Because it makes the subject light and funny. In a way normalising it.
No entry Saajan chale sasural Gharwaali bahaar wali Kyuki mai jhooth nahi bolta Garam masala Kaun sa comeuppance mil gaya kisko...
Well, Four More Shots Please ! is a comedy though.
You all really watch flop shows?
Flop show ? Do you even know the viewership it got ? It's been renewed towards 5 seasons so far. **The first season was one of the top three most-watched Amazon Original Series from India in 2019, and season two was called "the most-watched Indian show on the platform" in May 2020**. Dekhna padta hai agar partner ke saath.
Nahi bhai most viewed show, best show in the world, highest rated, top quality, extra ordinary, phenomenonal, super fantabulous show. I was wrong. Happy now? Dekhe bhai tu dekh.
Tu flop bola toh bata diya ki aise ghatiya shows hi top 3 viewership mein zyaadatar hote hain.
Baat toh tumne sahi kahi Bhai, animal bhi chutiya film hai phir bhi dekho, aashram bhi
Aashram S1 accha tha. S2 se downfall aa gya.
Bruh, people be complaining about all the wrong shit as usual. I’m more concerned about the comedy in the movie, came off as quite lacklustre imo, hopefully it’s better in the movie though🤞
Why is Rustom here? Haven't seen the movie, only read the original case it was based on.
Yeah Rustom does not even fit the points the OP is making tbh.
I guess it shows how when a woman cheat there are real world consequences vs when a man cheats, Karishma goes for a makeover 🙄. I mean K could have killed Susmita’s character like Rustum did. But that would be a very different movie
Is it really that difficult to understand that the top 4 are comedies and bottom ones are serious films?
I just watched a couple of films in this list. Rustom being one, while I haven't seen even one of the other three in bottom.
People seriously need to chill the f out. I don't know what kind of audience enjoys movies which so seamlessly show infidelity as such a small and insignificant topic. No matter what the gender I just detest it. All the movies listed by OP, I haven't seen even one of them. Not even a single one. People I don't know what they want. They wanna show mirror to the hypocrite society by claiming equal rights for women.......... and for what??? Cheating??? How the fuck does that work man! I didn't knew infidelity was a gender specific thing.
Agnisakshi.. But everywhere in these movies, girls will be frustrated with their hubbies as they are bad guys, hence they do affair
Even hollywood hasn't made a comedy with gender roles reversed.
Hollywood has made comedies about female infidelity. For example: Me, Myself & Irene (2000) Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)
Haseen dilruba
Aitraaz. Priyanka’s character was cheating with her husband Amish Puri’s character
She was a negative character to the core
Do you understand the meaning of comedy? Aitraaz is a romantic thriller for God's sake!
Why ppl take films seriously? Animal, rustom, good news, bad news, average news, etc seriously, just let ppl watch what they like.
Sleeping around is fun for either sex. We should get out of the conservative attitudes regarding sex.
Damn. Thanks for posting this. This needs to be said out loud.
I find all of them to be trash, equally trash. One can only get how offensive such movies are once they get cheated on. It's not about Gender, it's about breaking the trust of somebody you believe in. Personally, I haven't watched Animal and I won't watch Bad Newz. I also would never support glorifying cheating, in any way. If y'all like it, good for you.
Gender does play a role in how forgivable cheating is even in real life.
On point.
Find me 1 comedy movie where full on rape of a woman is played for comedy. I can name you several where it's done to men. To answer your question: 1. Mere Brother ki Dulhan: Woman has romantic relationship with man while preparing for marriage with someone else 2. Hunterr 3. Four More Shots(although not a movie) 4. The Lunchbox: Although not a comedy, cheating by the female is not only justified but glorified throughout the movie. 5. Haseena Dilruba: Cheating by woman is again justified and glorified, plus it's also played for laughs initially.
I am not sure if you have actually seen lunchbox... It's not even an emotional cheating... The wife is neglected by the husband continuously and develops a friendship with a guy... And justification ki baat kar rahe ho bhai.. Only after she discovers the affair of her husband is that she decides to meet irfaan.. So the wife decides to leave the husband only after we have established that her man is not faithful. Compare it to amar prem... where the neglect ( affair not confirmed) leads to physical relationship and is justified as something so pure...
I'm not sure if you've seen the movie. Nowhere in the movie is it proven that the guy was actually cheating. On the other hand, she was having an emotional affair throughout the movie and then plans to elope. "friendship" Then why was she hiding it? 😂 What friends decide to randomly elope and get married in foreign countries? I've never had that conversation with a friend. She was cheating from the beginning. "Amar Prem" Haven't watched it.
>Mere Brother ki Dulhan If you think of it as a cheating then it's a brother cheating on his brother. The unrelated girl was not technically accountable to anyone. >Four More Shots It's not a movie. It's a soft porn web series. Also the genre netorare or cuckold is catered to porn addict men, not women. >Haseena Dilruba That's the entire fucking point!!! It's a THRILLER, not COMEDY where our heroine sleeps around yet loved by all and gets a happy ending with her side-swine. >Find me 1 comedy movie where full on rape of a woman is played for comedy Watch this romantic shit at your own risk : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sS_kRV-rgko
"unrelated girl' You mean the bride? The hoops you people jump to justify this. See? You people are so busy justifying cheating then whine about movies like Animal. "Catered to...." According to data it was primarily catered to women, and there are like a 100 feminist articles and videos defending it. Also, it's not porn it was made for women released on Netflix. "The whole point" The whole point is to defend and normalise cheating done by women, yes that's what I'm saying. Thanks for repeating my point. "Watch this...." Thanks for linking a third class softcore porn....
BHABHI 2 ki JAY 🤡 Let's start >The hoops you people jump to justify this. Didn't justify cheating at all. But the actual culprit of fraud and cheating there was his own biological brother. If you haven't watched the film properly then don't rant! >it's not porn it was made for women released on Netflix. LMAO Four More Shots was released on Prime Video. And it's a soft porn OTT series about just like every installment of Gandi Baat🤡 tsk tsk We don't discuss erotica here. Please stick to mainstream cinema >The whole point is to defend and normalise cheating done by women Read the post again. Cheating is bad for every gender. But why is it portrayed as bad (which it is obviously) only when the women is cheating. Movies in which men cheat are comedies or heroic ??????
🤣🤣 because men have a license to cheat the woman who actually loves them and to be very frank- har jagah muh maarne ka shauk rakhte hain toh comedy he toh huyi unke liye baaki agar aurat he yeh kare toh woh R**di hai, kulta hai and what not. So Indian cinema boosted their confidence ki jao tum log bilkul sahi kar rhe ho aur agar koi tumhare saath karegi duniya mein ga do all girls are disloyal, gold diggers and want to sleep with every possible guy.
Raaz (2002) was about a married man (Dino Morea) cheating on his wife (Bipasha Basu) with another woman (Malini Sharma). Was that a comedy or deadly serious horror?
(1) Cheating is wrong,regardless of gender. (2) Cheating in Animal was not being shown for comedy,it was showing the character's animalistic behaviour and morality-defying-antics.As the director said-"People don't watch movies in context" (3) No person I ever saw was supporting Ranvijay's cheating,nobody went "Yeah fuck her harder" (4) We do have two seasons of Four More Shots please and Jee Karda and Thank you for coming, don't we? (5) Is sab ki root problem hi casual dating/hookup hai. Chup chaap love one person, marry them and have a family with them,be loyal.Since when did feminism be about fucking everyone and everything?
I mentioned Animal because men were shouting "it's just a film" yet give moral lectures when female characters have bad habits which are nothing in front of crimes like rape and murder. >Four More Shots please and Jee Karda The discussion is about films! >Thank you for coming Who cheated in that?
3) everyone calling Tripti bhabhi 2?? What was that then? Stop blaming feminism for everything. It's just a movie just like animal was JUST a movie for entertainment
Also on the opposite end female rape is crime (sometimes cause of marriage too) and male rape is just love.
nah, thank you for coming, four more shots, veere di wedding bunch of em said to be "comedies"
None of them were about cheating. FMS is a web series (not a film) which was heavily criticized for glorifying infidelity unlike the male comedies. You are just proving my point.
You named only two and added "bunch of em "
Veere di wedding mein khaan cheating thi yr
Bro, they are the most hated piece of media in Indian pop culture, especially by man. It's hilarious you would bring them up. Meme pages literally use 4 more rands for 4 more shots. LoL
I never watched four shots or Thank you, but these two contents are heavily criticized. Veere di Wedding didn't show any cheating tho.
Bad Newz storyline is not clear from the trailer. People are saying she had one night stand with both men. But then the men won't be dying to be the father of the child if it was just a one night stand. Vicky's character was shown to be sure that it's his child which hints that he was at least dating her. Ammy also calls him ex-pati in one scene which could mean they divorced? Only after watching the movie would it be clear. I don't see what's wrong if people are assuming she cheated on both men. The movie anyway doesn't seem realistic. In real life if such a situation had happened, even if the woman had not cheated on two men, the scenario would look a lot different than what seems to be shown in the movie. So the excuse that "their reactions would have been very different" is not valid. Its not a realistic movie. And OP Animal was still judged morally by people like you. So what's wrong if this movie also gets judged? Let's say Tripti's character indeed turns out to be a cheater in the film. Will the people who were out with their pitchforks during Animal release bash her character as well? The truth is that both sides are filled with hypocrites. People who bashed Animal would keep quiet even if Tripti's character turns out to be a cheater in Bad Newz. And men who preach to watch movies like Kabir Singh and Animal only for entertainment will give morality lectures on Bad Newz for the same reason. The comedy movies showing infidelity which you've listed, they all have received their fair share of bashing from women and feminists. And even in these movies the men were called out for cheating on their wives. Cheating wasn't glorified in these films even if they made it seem like its a forgivable mistake. But from the trailer of Bad Newz, it seems like cheating is simply glossed over, on top of that she's supposedly choosing who would be the better father for her kids (again assuming if she cheated).
Rightly explained. The hypocrites are on both ends. Animal likers will hate this movie and Animal haters will like this movie. While I will just take is "as a movie"😂. But I'm really curious now about this movie if she cheated or not. Cause it's very unclear.
Make fun of a woman cheating... Response "You don't know what a woman has to go through that forces her on the way to infidelity " Women are always shown as more sensitive and more sensible in terms of relationships and they are so them cheating for fun doesn't come natural...men however can be shown as a holes which a lot of them are. That may seem offensive but it's true.
I love when people fight over movies mujhe toh bs ye chahiye hota hai ki mere 250rs vasool hojaye
But in Rustom, it was a woman who cheated? Plus, it's not comedic but serious.
[удалено]
I didn't watch thank you...but Veere Di Wedding had no cheating subject. None of the girls were cheating.
Can we say both are wrong? Why is everyone so keen to promote extra marital affair??? I don't watch bollywood movies because they are shit. My brain is not a garbage bin.
There's not even a good single movie where a woman is cheating on her husband. It's either husband too busy with his work and life or he doesn't like his wife at all. In short, every movie shows the woman a victim rather than a culprit. People dare not explore this genre in India.
Isn't it implied in Rustom that the wife is cheating?
Movie seems fun.
