Abhay Deol captioned Instagram post as, “Such clear and valid insight from @oldschoolrebel9 regarding film Raanjhana. History will t look kindly at this film for its regressive mess. It’s been a me in Bollywood for decades, where a boy can (and should), pursue a girl until she relents. Only in cinema does she do that willfully. In reality we have seen time and again that it leads to sexual violence of some sort. Glorifying it on-screen only leads to blaming victim, as @oldschoolrebel9 explains it so brilliantly. Please do take time out to read her observations in pics above.
