Badgirl - Its Just Too Bad!

beautifullife30 · Jan 30, 2025

How did the makers even come up with such a trashy concept? I was just speechless when i watched it. What's the purpose of this movie? Who is this made for? And what exactly are they trying to portray in this?

This 2 mins sneakpeak has so many issues that i am forced to make a list:

1. The movie or any movie which shows a bad lead or a conservative lead starts with the portrayal of Brahmin family....so this one is no exception. A typical brahmin girl goes on a donkey let loose spree since she is being constrained, restrained and suppressed!!

2. They show a school going girl who doesnt like to study or doesnt study well. So her only hobby seems to be looking at guys. The lead is shown staring, admiring and lusting after boys.

3. She then breaks free maybe sometime when she grows up and the modern female concept is brought into this by showing how the girl enjoys partying, drinking, smoking, and having $ex with multiple people. And they are modern girls....the next generation which thinks that guys are for enjoyment only. And the audacity of her questioning her mother what she achieved in her life since her father asks for a chutney and her mom serves.

If tagging a lady/ girl as a maid or enjoyment or baby birth machine is wrong, how is doing all this to a guy right?

4. The lead is shown threatening to commit $uicide if forced to be at home and behave well.

Just what message are these bunch of idiotic movie makers trying to push on the younger generation? Doesnt the director, the producer have girl children in their houses? Would they tolerate if something like this happens in their house?

School is supposed to be a place for learning but apparently in this movie, it is shown as a place to explore the initial urges by school kids.

Honestly, i felt disgusted, shocked and embarrassed that i watched this trailer. Beyond all that i feel dirty to have watched it.

From the teaser, how do we tell that the family is Brahmin? No subtitles, so asking.

oh it is nothing new. Indian media is heavily funded in mocking hindus. now you can say brahmin or non-brahmin . those division do not matter. tamil nadu is popular to mock brahmins. non-brahmin practising hindus are mocked by bollywood.

they will not dare to show muslim girl eating pork or eating while ramzan. or christians mocking their religion. All you can do is complain online if you can. or educate your children to believe in their practices.

infact leave this movie. india media is been manipulating young with lot of such web series where multiple partners is encouraged, kids in school are showing as pervert and s.x obsessed.

In the teaser video, I could only recognize Anurag Kashyap’s name. I'm unfamiliar with the cast, director, or other producers. I'm hoping someone can answer this – by watching only the teaser, can we tell that the lead character comes from a Brahmin family?

As for the plot, I don’t fully understand the source of the angst. The film portrays a young girl dealing with love, desire, and the societal expectations placed on her during her teenage years. It has rebellion, self-discovery, lots of mistakes, bad decisions, and breaking free from strict parental control and conservative norms. But why is there an assumption that the film is encouraging young people to embrace this behavior? It’s just a story about one girl’s experience, with a focus on the sexual aspects of her journey, no? But then I didn't at all understand the uproar over Arjun Reddy movie either.

The girl questions her mother what she achieved in her life when her father asks for a chutney and the mom serves it. what is wrong with this scene? It is quite close to reality. My friend's teen daughter asked them "you live and work in silicon valley, how come you or dad haven't started a start-up or used the many opportunities you had? you are still not even a director both of you." when they scolded her for letting go precious opportunities.

What message Bad Girl's movie makers are sending? Well, There are plenty of bank heist or robbery or stock market scam films where the criminals escape scot-free, often shown riding off into the sunset on motorcycles or cars after splitting the loot, or flying to America to start successful new lives. Don’t these movies send the wrong message to young people about the getting rich quickly?

I watched the linked trailer above.

First of all, out of all the beautiful stories they could have told, they chose this crappy one. Second, if girls of influenceable age watch this movie, their minds may get corrupted and etched with the wrong message this movie seems to send. And boys that age may think this is all what young girls wish for.

One part of the trailer I do agree with - when the mom tells her daughter go get married who will take care of you after I and appa pass away, she says - who takes care of you now anyways at the same time that her father asks her mother for chutney (I think the message they are trying to send in this scene is even in this century society is intrinsically patriarchial. The husband could have gotten the chutney himself or better still - cooked and served his wife . Instead you see the wife taking care of the husband and not vice a versa.)

In a flow - Women are overworked not because feminism gave them the power and freedom to go out and work, but because patriarchy gave men the privilege to not do work inside the house.

Grandma's dialogue "ye peeda, aathula illaya nee?"

Aathula means house and is only used by Brahmins. And in this context, it refers to the girl having periods. Aathula illaya here translates to having periods.

Soorarai Potru, amaran are few movies where the main characters are actually from the Brahmin community, they hide it completely because it is not right to talk about caste only the achievements have to be taken into account.

But take the case where they want to show the lead having bad habits then yes, portraying the lead as a person from this community is not wrong at all. It happened in the movie 'Annapoorani' also. The chef who is a daughter of a temple priest is told how eating meat isnt wrong and so she puts her beliefs aside and goes on to eat chicken. But in the finals competition to get the actual taste of biryani...the same darling wouldnt think a second before donning a hijab and doing namaz to get the 'authentic' biryani taste.

No. These guys are trying to normalise this behaviour. Just last month we had another agenda driven movie - Kadhalikka Neramillai. The woke agenda is going strong in TN movie world and all these trashy subjects are part of it.

The other movies are equally wrong too. Take Pushpa for instance or Animal movie. Arjun Reddy was so bad too. I hated each one of the above movies for what they show and represent.

So is this movie. My biggest worry and scare is that already the drinking, smoking, clubbing culture is seen as being forward. So movies like these though at the end they might show that the girl regrets it but the damage is done.

Our society is already struggling with so many crimes against women and added to that the delayed justice system .... and with movies like these, it is just another excuse for a doing everything wrong and branding it as cool. And trust me it will have many takers!!

And to add to this there is another nonsense one coming soon titled paradha.

and this beautiful piece of drama , the lead is shown wearing a paradha over her head. and the second lead is shown asking 'do you only need a cloth or even a helmet would do?' Why not question a muslim lady on a Burqa? Maybe if they had guts, they should have shown questioning them.

But the spineless bigots these people are....they wont.

and according to the description by TOI - The film's story is set in a village steeped in age-old customs, superstitions, including the controversial practise of Sati. What a truck load of rubbish!!!
