New Delhi: From Day 1 of its release in the theaters, Ranbir Kapoor’s crime-drama Animal has been an unstoppable force at the Box office and is continuously shattering one after another record.
However, despite cruising towards a monumental success on the ticket window, the Sandeep Reddy directorial has unpleased a significant section of society due to its objectionable dialogues and misogynistic content and this recent remark of Chhattisgarh’s INC MP Ranjeet Ranjan is a perfect example of the same.
‘Daughter cried after watching Animal’
Speaking about the film in Rajya Sabha, Ranjeet Ranjan, who is INC’s MP from Chhattisgarh, said that she got distressed after watching Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal
The MP even revealed that the movie disturbed her daughter so much that she ended up crying and the same compelled her to walk out of the theater, leaving the film midway.
Narrating the entire ordeal while speaking with Aaj Tak, Congress Leader MP Ranjan said, “Cinema is like a mirror of the society. We all have grown up watching it, watching cinema and youth is quite influenced nowadays such films are coming, if you start from Kabir Singh to Pushpa and now a movie is going on ‘Animal‘.”
“I won’t be able to tell you that my daughter had many girls with her who were in college’s second year. She cried while watching the picture and dashed out of the cinema hall”, Ranjan added further.
Later, while citing the example of Sandeep Reddy’s release Kabir Singh, the MP also slammed the director and added that films must not glorify misogyny and violence against women as the same sends a bad message to society.
