Pushpa portrayed Women as S*Xual Representations ?
Did you know that our brains perceive males as full people and women as portions of them? According to a 2012 study published in the european Journal of Social Psychology, our brains process male and female images differently. There are two approaches: global and local processing. When your brain identifies items as a whole, this is known as global processing.
This is comparable to how the women in director Sukumar-Allu Arjun's recent film pushpa are portrayed. Every woman in pushpa is reduced to her body in some way. pushpa Raj's mother is only mentioned as the mistress of a well-to-do guy. Datchayani's (Anasuya Bharadwaj) saree is constantly falling off her shoulders. And it does when she is about to murder someone in a crucial scenario. I mean, isn't it self-evident? With the saree in the way, how is it feasible to slit someone's throat?
Sri Valli (Rashmika Mandanna) is the main victim, as she is a target for both the hero pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) and one of the antagonists, Jolly Reddy. By holding her father hostage, Jolly reddy blackmails her into sleeping with him. pushpa raj offers her money in exchange for kissing him; when she declines, he becomes 'offended.' He resolves to marry her in the hopes of receiving the kiss he'paid for.' While their tactics differ, they are unified in their refusal to see Sri Valli as a human being. The sad issue is that Sri Valli does not believe she is worth more than her sexual prowess.
Samantha's dance routine Oo Antaava was one of Pushpa's major pre-release draws (Oo Solriya in Tamil). There's no pretense that you're a part of the plot; you just walk in, perform, and walk out. Oo Solriya was released at a time when item songs were banal and, luckily, a thing of the past in tamil movie. The song went viral due of Andrea Jeremiah's sassy singing and uncensored lyrics that criticize the ever-objectifying masculine gaze.
