It's so sad that they let vulgar and sexist films like Trisha Illana Nayanthara (which promotes unrealistic portrayal of women) release but movies on homosexuality cannot release without backlash.

you’ve said everything we’ve been saying on here basically :/ it’s a shame they had to do the Kannada film secretively. I mean uncomfortability is one thing; but the film isn’t offending anyone; it’s a way of life. If you don’t want to watch it, don’t. It’s your personal loss – you’re missing out on an opportunity to learn from something and getting one step closer to understanding that homosexuality is completely fine – but by censoring it; you’re just keeping other people that need or want to, from learning from it.

and in regards of Trisha Illana Nayanthara, it’s not even a matter of unrealistic portrayal; there are probably girls out there that consider such things in the  perspective the movie shows it as. but it’s the way they portrayed G.V. Prakash’s expectations of these girls that was beyond sexist. The girls were supposed to conform/be the kind of girl that the hero wanted who would do whatever he wanted [virgin like him, yet “loose” as he described the North Indian girl; that would do everything including ‘finishing the matter’], but when it came to the point at the end – *spoilers* – when he finds out the first girl isn’t a virgin after their breakup, he can’t come to terms with it, and finds it absolutely atrocious. like eXCUSE ME??!? A woman can do whatever she wants and make her own decisions; if you don’t like it, sucks to suck? Instead, coming up with the solution that if she doesn’t listen to you, and she’s done something you don’t like but can’t change; you can just drop her and find another one, is ridiculous. A woman isn’t a recyclable product that you can throw away. And I get that it was all in good fun and meant to be a complete BS movie [i’m HOPING?]; but that’s not acceptable. As if the idea of feminism in India already isn’t ruined enough, stuff like this is given to boost some men’s ‘egomaniacal’ personalities; and they think it’s fine, because media is everything; and no it’s not. none of this is in anyway okay.
