Critic’s “Athi” on Telugu Films

A writer of a reputed film magazine started degrading our Telugu superstars on Twitter mentioning a rape scene from the recent Sankranthi super hit movie of Superstar Mahesh.

However, there is no such rape scene in the movie and only a scene where the heroine’s mother advises the heroine to act as if there was a rape attempt on her. He twisted the tale and started overaction for gaining attention.

The writer belittled Telugu cinema mentioning that Telugu cinema isn’t respected much when compared with Tamil, Malayalam and Marathi movies. The writer was paid in his own coin when Telugu movie lovers dragged Malayalam superstars.

Twitterati mentioned several scenes from Malayalam movies enacted by Mallu Superstars that portray women in poor light like Mammooty dragging a female police constable to himself and saying that he would make her miss her menstrual period.

Degrading Telugu Film Industry isn’t going to help the writers of any film magazine as misogyny is a topic to be discussed everywhere across the country. Turning a blind eye to one’s own faults isn’t going to belittle others. What say?
