Pad change dialogue in Animal
Released on December 1, Friday, “Animal,” directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga of Kabir Singh fame, has sparked discussions for various reasons. While some corners of the internet praised the film. Critics lambasted it for its tainted sexism and misogyny. The latest topic of online conversation surrounds the controversial ‘pad’ scene.
In the movie, Ranbir Kapoor’s character is depicted as raising his voice at Rashmika Mandanna’s character, his wife. He expresses frustration about her consistent complaints regarding her menstrual cycles. Contrasting it with his own experience of wearing adult diapers, carrying urine bags and using a catheter.
Ranbir vehemently shouts at Rashmika, stating, “Mahine mein 4 baar pad change karne ke liye itna natak karti hai tu, main roz 50 kar raha hoon.” Drawing a comparison between menstruation and his post-surgery complications.
Netizens angry response
Nevertheless, netizens expressed their discontent with the dialogue, asserting that it was not only factually inaccurate but also highly toxic and disgraceful.
