Is this the track the Telugu industry is taking? Validating sexual assault as a romantic gesture because it's "out of love"?

Objectifying a woman to such a degree, in such a disgraceful manner — Janhvi Kapoor's waist had more screentime than Jagapathi Babu( I thought it was his "the best film of my second innings." like okay for 10 minute of screen time such audacious words? ) The entire point of her character was to show her waist. There was no payoff for the political arc that was essentially being built across the first 20 minutes — she's a politician's daughter, and the film just drops it.

I also find it ridiculous that sexual harassment, straight-up assault, and degrading women to this standard are all "acceptable," but consensual sex in an English movie and a damn middle finger are "debauchery" that have to be censored.

Is this the "culture" we are promoting? Are these the sentiments which uphold our state/country?

Yes, the set design in terms of lighting and the makeup were immaculate(maybe a tiny bit exaggeration but I have to give credit to the only things which made the movie watchable), I didn't even realise that was Jagapathi Babu until I heard him speak ,but most defintely does not make it a good film .

And what the actual f was the plot? Okay, it was meant to be motivating, but it's 3 hours of the same damn loop where he keeps switching his sport to prove his village's existence and the climax was just so abrupt, leaning on self-mutilation, him cutting off his own leg, as an emotional escalation,like is it even legal to self mutilate to join the para asian games?
(I know the climax is regarded as the best part of the film but I don't know how justifiable/defensible it is).

Are we also gonna skip over the fact that an entire stretch of the movie was just a cheap imitation of "the karate kid"?

Look, some areas were fine, but this movie is all in all a degrading, objectifying, immoral shit show.

This is what Indian directors think of us as an audience — that we will enjoy such regressive, immoral films? And then the audacity to name it "the best film of my life," "the hardest I've ever worked."

Like, you worked hard showing off poor Janhvi's midriff the entirety of the first half? and showing her getting assaulted in not one but two instances, and even justifying one (I know it's her own choice, yet this is just immoral). And here's what makes it indefensible the film justifies the hero assaulting her, when the entire premise of their love was him protecting her from another man's assault. The man sets up his morality against the "villains" assault because her assaulter and the film calls that romance.

This is a systemic fault in our industry they think that people will watch whatever the fuck they ship out because "oh, Tollywood is the next big thing and we have 4 of the top 10 films."

We as an audience should maybe demand more thoughtful, more thought-provoking films than this regressive, sexist, immoral and abhorrent film.

This is a mockery of us as an audience.

I felt like I was bleeding from every orifice in my body from disgust.

I hope the state of Indian films changes and not let these films get any attention.
