Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore criticised Ranbir Kapoor in a podcast with Kapil Sibal. Animal calling it “anti-women”. However she also added that such films still cannot be dismissed. Speaking to Kapil Sibal, who called the film “violent”, Sharmila Tagore said, “Beyond the violence, it had misogyny. But there were a lot of women in the audience who said I want someone to love me like this. Any film that moves a lot, you can’t dismiss it. You have to connect with it, try and understand what’s really happening here.”
However, he also expressed his views about the Kiran Rao directed film Lapata Ladies and added, “It also did well in theatres because it was within budget, whereas ‘Animal’ spent a lot of money and earned a lot. It’s a huge difference (in budget) and it will continue. I don’t think it’s going to change in the near future. So, smaller films will also get their money back, but not in the amount that Ranbir Kapoor or Ranveer Singh bring in.”
In the same podcast, Sharmila Tagore also spoke about Kareena’s latest release Crew. The actress praised the camaraderie between the three lead female leads of the film – Kareena, Tabu and Kriti Sanon. She said, “It’s absurd, of course, beyond belief but there are three women going on this adventure. One is landing a plane, one is cracking a safe… doing all kinds of things together and the camaraderie between the three is great because they say a woman is a woman’s worst enemy, but that’s not the case here.”
Sharmila Tagore was recently seen GulmoharShe will be next seen in a Bengali film. Puraton With Rituparna Sengupta and Indranil Sengupta.
