DON'T LET MEN KILL THE FILM INDUSTRY
The Sunday Guardian|September 08, 2024
If Salim-Javed could create the phenomenon of the antiestablishment ‘angry young man' with a slew of hit films, why not use the same skill set to create a phenomenon that would push against the status quo that glories in subjugating women? It's been a long time coming, but a phenomenal change has got to come.

And let it begin with changing the film industry's treatment of women.

It would be laughable for anyone to believe that the Malayalam film industry is the only one that exploits women. Not to tar everyone with the same brush, but let's be realistic. Humans are the same everywhere, and men in other film industries are quite likely to be on par with those in Kerala in terms of sexually exploiting women.

The million-dollar question is, who is going to speak up in the film and entertainment industries across India? The silence in Bollywood is resounding! When leading ladies are 'taught a lesson,' what do you think happens to the extras and other hopefuls-stylists, hairdressers, assistants, and the like? Unless they come from a powerful family (and who knows how much they adjust and compromise within those families), women in the entertainment industry have to be bold, resourceful, and nimble or just plain lucky to get away unscathed.
