In the last decades, there has been a dramatic change in the depiction of the father in Indian cinema. The directed by Aamir Khan’s critics, ‘Taare Zameen Paar’, as Vijay Sethupathi as Maharaja, has shifted the social perceptions of masculinity in paternity, hence cinematic depiction of paternity.
This father’s day reflects the developed idea of ​​paternity in the cinematic scenario, which is not only artistic, but also through social expectations.
In the past, the father’s figures in Bollywood were often shown as a totalitarian, and was depicted as strict discipline with a large -scale emotionally distant personalities, who rarely express vulnerability, which in Kabha Khushi Kabi Gum (2001), Amitabh Bachchan’s character Yashvardhan Rachand Authority.
However, on the other hand, Nandkishore Awasthi, which was depicted by Vipin Sharma, marked a turn of how audiences and filmmakers began to be severely engaged with a father’s emotional role. Taare in the ground cross, while Nandkishore fitted the role of strict and emotionally distant personalities, the film overall promoted conversations about sympathy in paternity around the world.
Another frightening depiction of paternity is played by Rajat Bermecha and Ronit Roy, respectively through the characters of Rohan Roy and his father Bhairav ​​Singh. Bhairav ​​gives an example of an extreme, rigid, derogatory and emotionally absent dictatorial parenting. His overbering control and violence creates a suffocating environment for Rohan, which wishes to become a writer. Rohan exposes the opposite psychologist amidst Rohan’s cool flexibility and Bhairav’s repressive dominance.
Another thing can be added as an example, which can be added as an example, the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, which was played by Aamir Khan in Dangal (2016), Mahavir Singh starts as a conservative father, trained his daughters like wrestlers, yet in his own words, he was seen as a complex dynamic.
On the other hand, Chichor (2019) is the character of Anirudh played by Sushant Singh Rajput. He is shown as a father struggling to join with his son who attempts suicide due to educational pressure. Anirudh is someone who is willing to change his child -raising outlook using his past to teach his child.
Cut into more recent depiction of Vijay Sethupathi in Maharaja. This reflects the bond between father and daughter, which depicts a gentle vulnerability rarely discovered in old Indian cinema.
Although social perceptions of paternity will continue to develop, cinema will undoubtedly remain a powerful mirror, reflective, challenging, and tells how we understand what it really means to be a father.
All the fathers continue to inspire both real and reel life both a very happy Father’s Day, your journey, conflict, and love.
