Renowned screenwriter and poet, Javed Akhtar, indirectly criticizes the success of Ranbir Kapoor-starrer "Animal," expressing worry over its themes of misogyny and toxic masculinity. Speaking at a film festival, Akhtar urges audiences to be discerning, stating, "If a film portraying a man asking a woman to lick his shoe becomes a super hit, that's dangerous." Emphasizing the audience's role in shaping cinema, he highlights the need for responsible storytelling. Despite industry praise, "Animal" faces growing disapproval for its handling of sensitive themes. Akhtar's remarks echo concerns about the impact of such narratives on societal perceptions.
