To those who asked: I found #DDLJ socially regressive because: (a) it glorified a despotic father curtailing his child's freedom to make her own decisions about her life (b) it romanticized patriarchy in the guise of upholding tradition. It was more worrisome because it's slickly produced, had a charming lead pair, beautiful locations, great cinematography, fun music, good-looking actors in attractive costumes, etc as a result of which it lulled us (I include myself here) into either not noticing or noticing but brushing aside the socially harmful message it was sending out. @kjohar25 @rajkrsen @mallikagupta @nazishrahman @m0th3rh3n
