Firebrand director Anurag Kashyap is at it again! In a recent event, Kashyap made some explosive comments claiming that a whopping “90% of feminist filmmakers are frauds.” Ouch!
Kashyap went on to categorize filmmakers into two groups: those focused on commercial success and “opportunists” who use labels like “feminist” or “revolutionary” for personal gain. He elaborated, “They’re all posturing.” #Oopsie
These comments have sparked a firestorm online. Many are questioning Kashyap’s generalization, pointing out the vast and diverse works of feminist filmmakers in India. Filmmaker Tara Deshpande countered, “This is a dangerous oversimplification. Feminist films come in all shapes and sizes, and they can be entertaining too.” #FeministFilmPower
Is Kashyap just stirring the pot for publicity, or is there a truth nugget in his claims? Are there filmmakers who exploit social causes for personal gain? The industry is abuzz with debate. #KashyapVsFeministFilmmakers
One thing’s for sure: Kashyap’s comments have reignited the conversation about the role and representation of women in Indian cinema. What do you think? Is Kashyap onto something, or is this a massive overstep? Share your thoughts in the comments! #WomensCinema #IndianFilmIndustry
