Women are killed because people label them as chudails. But Indians didn’t see the problem when Farhan Akhtar shouted ‘chudail alert’ in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
For all their colonial underpinnings, postcards from Hyderabad also inadvertently preserve a trace of local memory: a glimpse of a street, a face, a forgotten name.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.

So true but it never occurred to me while watching zindegi na milegi…how mainstream cinema promote sexism. The problem is Feminism, castisym are conveniently used by Bollywood stars to suit their views. That is distorting the cause unfortunately.
Did you notice as much as certain modern day feminist sections of the media are supporting Rhea Chakraborty, none of them have a word to say about her brother who is arrested in almost similar charges.
Do we still need even an iota of thought to realise that modern day feminism has got nothing to do with gender equality!
Say yes to true feminism which stands for gender equality!
Male counterparts exist as well – tantric, jadugar, aghori, etc. But you are correct they are not as popular as the female counterparts. Another figment of the patriarchal society. But the same is true for west as well. Witches are more popular and are often demonized. Wizards and warlocks less and are seldom demonized as a group. Just a bad apple here and there. So true for entire world. But I also think depicting them as cartoons is even good. Makes it a laughable subject and reduces fear. Also makes it imaginary.
