Since the release of the film ‘Animal,’ there has been significant social media backlash regarding its perceived misogynistic themes. While some critics have condemned Ranbir Kapoor’s character for being flawed, others have praised Rashmika Mandanna’s character for rejecting him upon discovering his infidelity. Overall, many women feel the film portrays men negatively.
A social media user shared a clip from ‘Animal,’ highlighting how Ranbir’s character cheats on Rashmika’s character with Zoya, played by Tripti Dimri. The video caption read, “Remember: Nothing is scarier than trusting a man,” which struck many as pessimistic and one-sided.
Rashmika Mandanna quickly responded, stating, “Correction: Trusting a stupid man is scary; there are a lot of good men out there. Trusting them is special,” accompanied by a love emoji. Her response subtly encouraged her followers to view ‘Animal’ as a piece of fiction rather than a reflection of society as a whole.
