OpinionWhy can't filmmakers enrich their films with better women characters as opposed to 'bubbly' ones?Sankeertana VarmaScreenshot/YouTube‘Cinema is for entertainment, why take it seriously?’ This seems to be the go-to defense people use when you venture to say something even remotely negative about women characters in Telugu films. ‘Films don’t matter. People don’t get affected by them in real life,' says another man whose Twitter handle is his favourite actor’s name or his recent film. Irony seems to escape him, but not all of us are lucky enough. When Annapurna Sunkara tried to discuss the pitiful condition of the Telugu industry and its women using Baahubali as an example, she was ruthlessly abused online. A stranger throwing a venomous snake to distract you, so he can paint your arm without your say isn’t so romantic, no matter the time period. I’m not trying to blame any one person or film in this article, mostly because this isn’t a problem created by a single person, it is ingrained and systemic. That said, the filmmakers who continue to yield to this regressive thought process will only further the damage. Look away, suggested a helpful gentleman, but a problem as big as patriarchy isn’t going to go away just because I stopped paying attention. I tried it while watching Sukumar’s films. I tried not to concentrate on their problematic portrayal of women, but it didn’t go away. Instead, people started calling him the Telugu film industry’s Nolan. Silence isn’t the answer either. If anything it gives male filmmakers permission to dictate how women should be perceived and treated by other men. And yes, it is as harmful and oppressive as it sounds, if not more. So, if naming and shaming is the only way to get these people to listen, then so be it. Allu Arjun’s character in Sarrainodu stalks a sitting Mla, who is accompanied by bodyguards, just because she is good-looking. Even an elected representative isn’t safe from the unwanted passes of a Telugu film hero, and I’m told by countless men that I’m overreacting when I question this. The fact that songs like 'Mla, I Wanna Follow', 'Disturb' were chartbusters when they first came out, signals something. Nani’s character in Nenu Local kidnaps the heroine and the context doesn’t matter. It’s abduction when you put a chloroform doused kerchief across a woman’s face. The hero’s character from Govindhudu Andharivade blackmails the heroine with pictures of hers and gets her to kiss him. How is this any different from the plot of Drishyam? It isn’t. The only difference is that one film tells us that it’s wrong and another tells us it’s cute. The fact that two different films can show the same situation in two different lights should tell us how persuasive films can be. We as a society, of which the film industry is a loud, but a tiny part, have a problem with hearing ‘No’ if a woman is saying it. Most of the times, men in films don’t hear it and when they do, they dutifully write it off. She doesn’t know better. She doesn’t know how good I am. She doesn’t know how bad every other guy is compared to me. Not once do they stop to say, maybe she doesn’t care. Maybe, I don’t matter. Maybe, the world does revolve around the sun and not me. In an ever-evolving world, it’s baffling to see our men not change. None of this is to say that there aren’t good women characters in Telugu cinema. It’s a rarity to have a fully developed woman character, but they do exist. Directors like Shekar Kammula, Mohan Krishna Indraganti, and Krish have been consistent in giving us women of substance and that didn’t stop their films from being entertaining and engaging. This only begs the question, why can’t the other filmmakers take some time and do the same? Why not educate yourself about women and their issues? Why not enrich your films with better characters as opposed to ”bubbly” ones? Once you realise that there is more to life than writing a story where you have to justify stalking in a fresh way, you’ll never want to go back. If for nothing, it’s the profitable thing to do. After all, women make half of your audience. We do recognise patterns and we do try to steer clear of movies from Puri Jagannath, Ravi Teja, and the likes. But it isn't always as clear. Things get trickier when the film is actually good. Take Arjun Reddy for example. An otherwise superior film with great production values, editing, and directions, catches you off guard when the macho guy who lectures his father about personal space decides not to respect the heroine, Preethi’s. I know that the film doesn’t resort to hero worship, but the fact that his friends are smiling in disbelief as he kisses the woman suggests that it isn’t being critical either. What good is your art, if it isn’t lifting up the voices of the marginalised and oppressed? And I’m tired of having to always be on the lookout for sexism and inequality. I should be able to trust a filmmaker to be politically and culturally responsible. So, to answer the question, ‘Films are for entertainment, why take them seriously?’ Yes, films are for entertainment. Some of them manage to enrich us too, but not all of them have to. When I, a woman, buy a ticket and sit in my seat with a bucket of expensive popcorn, I expect entertainment, too. I expect to laugh, cry and, feel good about my existence, too. Instead, I get subjected to misogyny. I’m asked to sing along to the catchy, yet creepy tune of a man who is committing a punishable offence. How is this okay? Why do I have to exercise my ability to compartmentalise for the sake of a movie? If everyone else gets to relax, so should I. Life outside a movie theatre is hard enough as it is.

TollywoodThe film is most likely to become the first south Indian female-centric film to enter Rs 50 crore club.Digital NativeDigital NativeThere’s a reason why Anushka Shetty is referred as Lady Superstar by her fans. Among the leading actresses in southern cinema, she enjoys a large fan base and market of her own which has helped her films at the box-office over the years. Her latest release Bhaagamathie is no exception as the film has stirred up a storm at the ticket window, grossing around Rs 12 crore on the first day worldwide. Sources in the trade believe that the film, thanks to its strong content and highly positive word of mouth, is most likely to become the first south Indian female-centric film to enter Rs 50 crore club. With Bhaagamathie performing beyond the makers’ expectations at the box-office, Anushka now has two films in the Rs 10 crore and above on the opening day club. Her 2015 historic drama Rudhramadevi grossed Rs 12.50 crore on the first day. Unfortunately, Rudhramadevi ended up as an average grosser by the end of its theatrical run, given its high budget and overall production cost. Bhaagamathie, on the other hand, has been made on a much lesser budget and the makers are sure to enjoy profits. Anushka is thrilled with the response to Bhaagamathie. She took to Facebook and wrote: In the Us, Bhaagamathie has already zoomed past the half-million mark and might end up becoming the first south Indian heroine-centric film to enter the million dollar club. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film as of Saturday has minted Rs. 3.44 crore in the Us. Early estimates suggest that the film might have minted around $725k in its opening weekend in USA and if the estimated numbers are anything to go by, the film might supersede star-studded Telugu films such as McA, Nenu Local and Hello.
