Sivudu violated Avantika’s autonomy and the audience believed that was okay and even applauded at the idea of a warrior princess being tamed with Sivudu’s act of ‘love’.
What Sivudu did is no different from what Rahul in Darr was doing to Kiran this is a combination of stalking and molesting. There has been a lot of hue and cry about this scene as the “ rape of Avantika“. Avantika is enraged with his moves till she stands before the waterfalls and sees her own ‘milky-bodied’ image. Without her knowledge he followed, painted a tattoo on her arms and shoulders and when she confronted him, he molested her by stripping her warrior clothes and replaced them with more ‘feminine’ ones. This excitement was short-lived till we saw her getting stalked by Sivudu (Prabhas) because he was in ‘love’ with her. It was a role totally different for Tamannah as an actress and a heroine from Telugu industry in general.
Personally, when I saw her in action I was thrilled. Then comes in Avantika (Tamannah Bhatia) a warrior princess with an aim. Then we are introduced to another woman named Sanga (Rohini) who has a strong hold and voice in her community. Baahubali started by showing a mortally injured woman Sivagami (Remya Krishnan) fight and kill two armed men with a baby in her arms. Let’s analyse this year’s highest grossing Indian film Baahubali (2015). However, stalking isn’t just the villain’s cup of tea. But then at the end, we feel sorry for Rahul as his vehement for Kiran was a result of his mental instability even if his actions cannot be justified morally. The pro-feminist element of this film is that it shows Rahul’s actions as something that’s unethical or in a broader sense, a criminal act. I hated the idea of Kiran being an emotionally weak woman who is depended on a man, but then that’s what the culture reinforced no matter how educated or rich she is. Kiran is traumatised from the experience and her only source of valour is her fiancé Sunil (Sunny Deol). He arrives at her birthday party to lay a kiss on her. Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) is madly in love with Kiran (Juhi Chawla) and he stalks her with unexpected visits and intimidating phone calls. Heroines falling for their stalkerĭarr (1993) is a national award-winning cult classic feature about love, passion and obsession.

Indian cinema has repeatedly used some movie plots with respect to female protagonists that are outright annoying. Indian cinema has endorsed the Indian cultural delineation of men and women for years, while western cinema claims to portray gender equality, however sexually objectifying women in reality. It took me another decade to realize that cinema was wrongfully depicting violence against women (VAW) for years. It took me a while to have enough sense to make out what was going on, and it took few more years to understand that as a viewer I had the right to judge and critique whatever I perceive (until then I was under the impression that whatever shown on-screen is right and factual). I used to glue my eyes on-screen no matter what the content was. I have been an ardent fan and follower of cinema since I had baby teeth. #GBVInMedia campaign analysis how different kind of mainstream media (mis)represents/reports gender-based violence and broadens the conversation from violence against women to violence against people from the queer community, caste-based violence and violence against people with disabilities.
