He made viral monologues. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The claim-to-fame of his debut, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that bragged about offering the definitive male perspective on love, was Rajat\u2019s (a comically bad <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/when-dad-catches-your-live-in-girlfriend-kartik-aaryan-kriti-sanon-luka-chuppi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartik Aaryan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) monologue that took digs at clingy women and the \u201cconstant exploitation\u201d of men in relationships. Even though the monologue lacked nuance, the writing betrayed creativity (the Vodafone pug and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/comic-con-mumbai-2016-batman-joker\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Batman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s girlfriend were invoked) and was enhanced by Aaryan\u2019s breathless delivery. The paranoid monologue made a return in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where Gogo (Aaryan again) ranted about the exact same things: clingy women and \u201cexploitation\u201d of single men. Both tirades start off with \u201cProblem yeh hai ki woh ladki hai,\u201d encapsulating the true intentions of its writer-director. For Ranjan, the joke isn\u2019t just on the woman; it is the woman. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eight years since, it\u2019s still impossible to tell apart the sequel from its predecessor given their exact storylines. Like Ranjan\u2019s debut, even <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">champions the plight of three <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/relationship-dating-quiz\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">single men<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> whose happiness is unceremoniously snatched away by the manipulative women they fall for. Both the movies concern themselves with a universe that views male friendship as endangered, which according to the filmmaker, needs to be protected from perennially scheming women at all costs. <\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">In the RCU, women don\u2019t breathe air; instead they survive on endless manipulations.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, the monologues and the franchise, swiftly became the war-cry of countless scorned single men, catapulting it into mainstream success, almost overnight. And Ranjan was inevitably heralded as the intrepid voice of male agony. In last year\u2019s record-breaking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/mba-cat-corporate-india\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the writer-director went even more literal with pitting women against men: Sweety, the female lead existed only to prove that marriage and relationships only end up distancing two male best friends. It\u2019s no surprise then, that the winner in every gender war in the Ranjan Cinematic Universe (RCU) is always the man, even when his winning move is the juvenile \u201cYou either choose her or me\u201d.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every film in the RCU \u2013 Ranjan has directed four and written five, including this week\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/de-de-pyaar-de-review-tabu-ajay-devgn-luv-ranjan\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De De Pyaar De<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 is distinguishable by some recurrent elements. For instance, the writer-director has a penchant for using the same cast in all the films he has directed; Aaryan is a regular fixture in the RCU. All his stories are always told from the perspective of a man, who is treated not just as a naive victim but also a selfless hero. And his heroes are always cut from the same cloth \u2013 they are all \u201cwell-meaning but confused single men who get sidetracked by women\u201d. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akash Vani<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the hero gets dumped by his college girlfriend while he\u2019s abroad because she decides to marry another man; in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the hero falls for a gold-digger who wants to separate him from his childhood best friend; in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> franchise, at least two of the heroes get friendzoned after a woman plays with their feelings and leads them on. And in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/de-de-pyaar-de-review-tabu-ajay-devgn-luv-ranjan\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De De Pyaar De<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the latest offering from the RCU, two attractive women are at loggerheads with each other because of the film\u2019s 50-year-old lead, Ashish (Ajay Devgn). One of the women is even attracted by the fact that he <em>chose<\/em> to not sleep with her when he could have. In all of his films then, the problem isn\u2019t that Ranjan unabashedly offers the male perspective, but that it unfailingly comes at the cost of women. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/outdoors\/imitiaz-ali-world-tourism-day-unesco\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imitiaz Ali<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is accused of repeating the same love-story with every film, then every new Luv Ranjan outing is essentially the writer-director setting out to exact revenge on all the women who have dumped him. His films exist so that he gets to have the last word. In the RCU, women don\u2019t breathe air; instead they survive on endless manipulations. According to Ranjan, women come only in three variants. The first kind is the controlling woman \u2013 the Nehas (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) of the world who dictate every move of the men they date from their wardrobe to their meals or the Supriyas (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) who selfishly exploit feelings to suit their needs. The second is the attractive young gold-digger \u2013 the Sweetys (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) who pretend to be in love with a man only for their wealth. And, the third is the \u201cmodern\u201d woman \u2013 the Manjus and Ayeshas (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De De Pyaar De<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), who act like a tease and make the first move but are also capable of devolving into a deeply insecure, jealous person. If it was up to Ranjan, we could very well find a way to blame global warming on women too. Clearly, Ranjan understands women and relationships as much as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/vijay-mallaya-extradition-indian-government-air-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vijay Mallya<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> understands the concept of debt.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the years, Ranjan has arrogantly defended his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/slut-shaming-schools-sexism-gurgaon\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deep-rooted misogyny<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a simple argument: Are all women \u2013 especially in relationships \u2013 nice? They\u2019re not. But the reason the one-sidedness in his films can\u2019t be chalked down to the filmmaker merely representing flawed women on screen lies in how he uses their misbehaviour against them. Especially, to serve the nobility of the hero. In all his films, it\u2019s the women who torture and the men who tolerate, which explains why its the women who are made to suffer in the end. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The language in Ranjan\u2019s films offer a solid clue about how the director villainises his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/bollywood-sexual-harassment-alok-nath-nana-patekar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heroines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who are reduced to ambition-less cardboard caricatures of evil. The men are either \u201ctrapped\u201d by women or they need to be \u201csaved\u201d from them \u2013 despite being in a consensual relationship, they seem to never have any agency. The one common thread in his interpretation of women then, remains this: They\u2019re the single-handed source of all male unhappiness. It sounds less like a filmmaker representing a different side of women and more like someone who\u2019s threatened by them. What makes it even more inept is that Ranjan seems to have no justifiable reason for his suspicions, save for reinforcing tired stereotypes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even then, the biggest fault of Luv Ranjan\u2019s depiction of the Indian male existence is, that it can\u2019t stand on its own. Take away the cunning women from all of his films and you\u2019re left with no arguable insight into the male mind. Does Ranjan want us to believe that every single problem Indian men face begin and end with women? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe it\u2019s time Luv Ranjan watched a comedy that actually succeeded in living up to its promise of recreating the Indian bachelor universe without mocking women. Incidentally, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/delhi-belly-black-comedy-akshat-verma-diarrhetic-plotline\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delhi Belly<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> released the same year as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pyaar Ka Punchnama<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
