Netizens’ Reactions
One wrote, “When there is a negative review on the film mostly about the violence against women, here I come with the long post to justify my character, that we should get used to violence so that the family will be safe and good 😂 you have reached heights so now it’s not about big shot movies it’s about the character and the message that reaches the audience. Both Pushpa and Animal the women character has been neglecting and sacrificing point, since you have a huge fan base why don’t you give them a women centric film with a good reflection of women in the society, either just being a part of big films with a sacrificing women roles.”
Another wrote, “But if geethanjali were to hold her family together, why did she wish her father-in-law died? So, if it comes to her husband, she wants her father-in-law to be dead even though her father-in-law might not want his son to cheat his daughter-in-law. Just my thoughts!”
