Of all things I feel, it feels sickening sad about how the whole thing has turned out. The same as I was apprehending when I first heard that they're making the movie into Hindi.
I had watched Arjun Reddy for the starting 20 minutes or so last year (January 2018), reluctantly with continued insisting from a so-called-then-recently-made friend (office colleague, happened to be from my college). Although after the initial 20 minutes or so, I finally decided to stop torturing myself and got off his room from watching that horrible movie. He had been praising that movie from the past couple of days and claimed to have watched it numerous times by then. He had been singing all about how the movie was a super blockbuster in Telugu.
And now after actually seeing that the movie has been made and released for a pan Indian viewing with the Hindi version, I am more disheartened with the realisation that how people are in real, even at places of power and responsibility. Last year itself after watching that small portion of Arjun Reddy I had searched vigorously about the reviews or protesting of the movie. Thank God that I found a few articles at least acknowledging how wrong the movie was. That gave me a little relief. But having come here to Hyderabad at the same time, I was listening to all sorts of people going Gaga over the it.
I feel so sad seeing my close friends fail to understand what is wrong with the movie. Them asking me or discussing with others casually about why so much of controversy about the movie. Listening to arguments like it's just a fictional movie. That there have been plenty of movie like these made in the past. That it's just the director's portrayal and his perspective. I am tired of explaining and arguing with reasoning. It's a pity and shocking truth that the movie has become such a massive hit.
Forcefully taking something and giving it the name of love, or raw love, or intense love, or pure love, or whatever adjectives they're adding to it can never be justified. The irony is what is shown as love is actually the opposite of what it is. Or maybe I know nothing about love. And in real life if people like Preeti (Kiara Advani) exist, then they should definitely be killed. It is absolutely not sin or wrong in eliminating such a person because of whom a movie like Kabir Singh can be un-apologetically glorified.
Lost all faith on superstars like Shahid Kapoor as he says in an interview what he believes about the character. And so is Kiara. Hats off to people like Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
