    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

     All the while Bollywood has been inspiring us, we have always ignored the wrong and the incorrect messages our indian cinema has given us. Here is a list of movies that gave us certain heart breaking messages under or above the table that did not ever get into limelight.

    #1- KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GUM

    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

    K3g although is one of the most iconic movies of all the times, but with everything so fine and perfect, one thing that hits us hard is the “poo bani parvati” scene in the movie where Kareena and Hrithik sing the morning aarti in order to impress Sharukh. Why does poo, who herself is one of the catches in the movie has to change herself into the “parvati” avatar just to fit into the society?

    #2- KISMAT KONNECTION

    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

    Shahid’s and Vidya Balan’s not so hit Kismat Konnection centred around love and luck. And the only message that spoiled the entire movie is the “luck” aspect. From not being a lucky person to a sudden change in the entire life and “kismat”, the idea of finding a partner who serves as your lucky charm is simply a way of inculcating incorrect definations of love and emotions in the audiences minds.

    #3- ISHQ VISHK

    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

    This 2003 bollywood’s coming of age romance which starred Shahid Kapoor, Amrita Rao and Shenaz Treasurywala might have given all of you some relationship goals but the way how Rajiv (Shahid Kapoor) confesses her fake love for Payal (Amrita Rao) just to look cool in the crowd, save himself from the mockery and obviously to get into her pants. All the while the movie gave us some serious relationship goals and proved great for both Shahid’s and amrita’s career but promoting confession of fake feelings just to get into her pants became a trend then onwqards.

    #4- NAMASTEY LONDON

    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

    Katrina’s and Akshay Kumar’s another hit together was one of the most romantic and cute movies of 2007. All of us enjoyed the lovey-dovey chemistry between Katrina and Akshay. But then again, that one thing all of us might have seen all wide and awake but still ignored was how Rishi Kapoor, who played Katrina’s father in the movie was all forcing her to get married and meet “indian” boys and how he took her to India in the name of  tour and made her meet boys and then emotionally blackmailed her to get married to Akshay Kumar.it is our indian cinema that inspires our society to a very major extent but our directors at times forget all this just in search of some masala.

    #5- COCKTAIL

    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

    Saif Ali Khan’s, Deepika Padukone’s and Diana Penty’s cocktail which was not a very big hit but a lot of our favourites and centred around the love triangle between the three, portrayed veronica (deepika) as a very bold character. While, Veronika’s hot looks should give us “party- dress up goals”, her image in the movie is shown more like a characterless woman and a message that hits us very hard is how wrongly women who drink, smoke and party are portrayed in our society.

    #6- DISHOOM

    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

    Varun Dhawan’s , John Abhrahm’s and Jacquline Fernandezs’action flick Dishoom which also starred Akashay Kumar in a gay role, was highly successful in creating another streotyped image of gay men. With those hand movements and accent, nothing could have more powerfully created a worse image of gay men.

    #7- KAABIL

    7 Things You Should NOT Learn From These Bollywood Movies

    The Blind romance between Yami Gautam and Hrithik Roshan starrer Kaabil did woo us away with the sweet sugary chemistry between the two and the merge with how disabled people are treated. Something that made the magic of the movie a bit sour for us was how Yami who though blind, was still a working professional and a successful woman had to leave her job after she got married. Also Yami’s suicide attempt after she got raped because she feared the society and felt that her husband would not be able to love her the same way he did, just because she was now entitled as a Rape victim shows how our society is still not strong enough to accept rape victims even when the world knows that it is nowhere their fault.
