Kangana Ranaut SLAMS Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, Says Makers Should Be Criticized: 'Drugs Karke Mast Hain...'

Kangana Ranaut has been quite vocal about his dislike for Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. She has repeatedly criticized the makers of the film for glorifying violence without consequences. In a recent chat, Kangana reiterated that while the film showed murder and bloodbath very prominently, emphasis on punishment was not a strong element in Animal.

Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Kangana said, “Kis tarah ki film hai aap dekh lijiye. Box office pe bawaal machati hai patriarchal film, oho. Dekh ke lagta hai ki kahan se nikal rahe hain yeh log taaliyan seetiyaan marne? Kulhaadi leke agar ladke nikle aur maara maar khoon sirf kulhaadi leke nikle hue hain. Na koi unko law and order pooch raha hai kuch. Machine guns leke voh school main jaate hain, jaise ki police hai hi nahi. Jaise ki uske consequences hain hi nahi.”

She added, “Law and order hai hi nahi, laasho ke dher hain. Kyu? Masti hai chhai hui hai. Na voh lok kalyaan ke liye hai, na voh sarhado ke liye hai, na voh jann kalyaan ke liye hai. Bas masti main hai. Drugs karke mast hain. Aur kya janta nikalti hai usko dekhne ke liye. Aap janta ko bhi dekhiye.”

“Toh kya bol sakte hain aisi society ke liye? Chinta ka yeh vishay hai. Iss tarah ki filmon ko discourage hona chahiye aur ninda honi chahiye. Jo aise logo ko saza milti hai, media bhi responsible hai usko bhi promote karna chahiye. Saza kya mili unko? Yeh bhi promote karna chahiye aur jo log bana rahe hain unko criticize karna chahiye,” Kangana said.

Back in January, the actress slammed the film on social media and said, “I have been fighting hard so far but even audiences are encouraging films where women are treated like sex objects and asked to lick shoes… The latest trend of films where women are reduced to mere flower on the wall, violently and disgracefully stripped of their dignity and clothes is beyond appalling. Reminds me of the time when I entered films, vulgar item numbers, quick in and out sleazy and dumb roles against older men were prevalent. Many years later fighting for pay parity, trying to encourage female lead films like Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Fashion, Queen, Tanu Weds Manu, Manikarnika, Thalaivii, and Tejas I ruffled many feathers along the way.”

Meanwhile, Kangana is currently preparing for the release of her film, Emergency. The film will hit theatres on September 6 this year.
