Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 arguably the most polarising Telugu film of the last two years \u2013 is a prime example of this all-consuming investment that wilfully disregarded nuance for frenzied hype. In the two years since it came to be exalted as a phenomenon, the movie has birthed two remakes: a Tamil adaptation called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adithya Varma<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that is still in production, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kabir Singh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a glossier Hindi remake, directed by Vanga himself, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani that releases tomorrow. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet the seamless crossover aside, the true extent of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s unchallenged dominance to our mind, probably lies in how it has managed to command \u2013 and more importantly sustain \u2013 the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/rasika-dugal-manto-lust-stories-hamid\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attention<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and outrage of audiences across the country. Even in 2019, people just can\u2019t seem to stop talking about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of its release in 2017, Vanga\u2019s three-hour-long debut outing was almost unanimously credited for being a game-changer, if not for subverting the rules of a mainstream Telugu entertainer. But on paper, the movie\u2019s storyline and its themes, seem worthy of neither. At its core, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be best described as a retelling of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Devdas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but without the accompanying consequences. It follows its eponymous lead, Arjun (Vijay Deverakonda), an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/indian-men-cant-handle-alcohol\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alcoholic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, abusive, and short-tempered surgeon who is allowed to use heartbreak as a justification for his toxicity and is ultimately gifted his happily-ever-after. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, in this version, the proverbial \u201cDevdas\u201d is encouraged to have his cake and eat it too \u2013 a tale of male entitlement and man-childishness, that is as old as time. But translated on screen, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">assumes an entirely richer life, which is aided in part by its stylish packaging. The plot is elevated by the casting of the attractive Deverakonda as the self-destructive male lead who flits between being a hero and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/aligarh-murder-case-rape-communal-kathua-victim\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">victim<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, fluid cinematography, and a sly screenplay that wholeheartedly commits to provocation. <\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Arjun Reddy\u2019s irresistibility is perhaps, rooted in this very dissonance: the film\u2019s fetishisation of male misbehaviour against all common sense.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Divided in events that unfold in flashbacks and in real time, the movie operates in the pre- and post-heartbreak universe of Arjun Reddy \u2013 an evolution that is single-handedly indicated by the cameo appearance of Deverakonda\u2019s beard. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">opens in present day with an introduction sequence that should have ideally been labelled dangerous: In the scene, a shirtless Arjun wakes up on a terrace, reaches straight for a bottle of alcohol, and then after a phone-call \u201cmakes an entry\u201d in a woman\u2019s house to have casual sex. Mid-action, when the woman changes her mind due to the impromptu arrival of her fianc\u00e9, he is visibly angered. Despite her explicitly declining his overtures, he surrenders to his lust and forcibly tries to take her pants off before threatening her to have sex at knife-point. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The moment lasts a few seconds, until better sense prevails, and he leaves her house. But by then, the picture that emerges of Arjun Reddy and one that the film crafts of him couldn\u2019t be more different. If you read this scene as sexually violent one, the film justifies it as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/the-sidekick-the-saviour-the-underappreciated-comic-genius-of-johnny-lever\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> relief. If you think Arjun was abusive, the film paints him as an angry young man, who only had a moment of weakness. And if this scene makes you scared of Arjun, the film, on the other hand, uses it to ask you to admire him.<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy\u2019s <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">irresistibility is perhaps, rooted in this very dissonance: the film\u2019s fetishisation of male misbehaviour against all common sense. In scene after problematic scene, Arjun readily loses his temper and mercilessly beats up people or at least, threatens to, with a potted plant. These people include rival <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/first-day-college-expectations-reality\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">college<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> students, an old man at a wedding, his maid, a nurse, and his love interest, the meek first-year medical student Preethi (Shalini Pandey), who he falls in love after making eye contact with him. If anything, the movie paints a familiar portrait of the impunity that accompanies male anger. In all of the scenarios, where Arjun ends up indulging in unnecessary violence \u2013 including a scene where he slaps Shalini in a fit of anger \u2013 he is never penalised or branded as the villain. It\u2019s not even a dealbreaker.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, his anger is treated as a temporary inconvenience that stems out of his passion for Preethi and is whitewashed against his achievements, including but not limited to his presumed brilliance as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/doctors-day-india-demons-governement-hospital\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surgeon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the fact that he was a college topper, and that he is a loyal lover. The film dedicating screen time for its male lead to perform his anger betrays arguably the most important takeaway of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s the fact that anger is a privilege only men have, that male anger has no boundaries and that it is a birthright. Think about the last time you encountered a man whose default language of communication was violence, and then, correspond it to the number of times you\u2019ve encountered a woman \u2013 whether onscreen or in real life \u2013 acting out without being too conscious of how the world would perceive her. Chances are that the former scenario will be as common as the latter would be uncommon.<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Besides celebrating the entitlement of men, Arjun Reddy reinforces that women are wholly dispensensable.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s exactly the worldview that the film takes of its women too. Besides celebrating the entitlement of men, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reinforces that women are wholly dispensable. Preethi is the classic damsel in distress. Earlier infantilised by her father and then by her lover, she exemplifies the archetype of a \u201cpure\u201d and naive woman, a common trope in Indian <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/love-struck-romance-airport\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">romance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She never utters a word during <em>Arjun Reddy\u2019s<\/em> first half and we\u2019re left oblivious to her inner thoughts, so much so that we know more about Shiva, Arjun\u2019s best friend and the film\u2019s supporting character than about its female lead. <\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is so obsessed with its hero, that it doesn\u2019t even deem Preethi as an equal: She doesn\u2019t fall in love with him as much as adjusts to his toxicity, becoming a woman who is infatuated with her abuser. It\u2019s why it\u2019s futile to see <em>Arjun Reddy<\/em> as a love story. In fact, it is the antithesis to love, that stands as a warning for relationships built on abuse and power. Arjun\u2019s \u201clove\u201d is built on constantly victimising himself, seeking Preethi\u2019s sympathy while reinforcing the idea that there are no <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/india-crime-parental-abuse-physical-violence-children-parents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boundaries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in love. <\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arjun Reddy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might be a Telugu film, but its invincibility lies in the fact that it takes a leaf out of real life and endorses the normalisaton of men considering their anger as their badge of honour and women as their property. No wonder it\u2019s getting a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/tanushree-dutta-nana-patekar-sexual-harassment-denial\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bollywood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remake in <em>Kabir Singh<\/em>.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s Arjun Reddy \u2013 arguably the most polarising Telugu film in recent times \u2013 is not without its problems.
