Agar tumhari behan ke sath aisa hota to?

Good music and entertaining movies have always served as my life savers after a tiring day or to refresh my mood or simply when I'm too bored and lazy to do anything else!

Talking about movies, usually I enjoy horror, animation and adventure, I also watch romance and action. Recently having watched the newly released Bollywood movie Simmba, there is no denying the fact that the movie is quite entertaining, it also is more problematic. From having a male hero (more of a villain in the first half of the movie) who is over-masculine and fears none takes the spotlight throughout. The idea of male dominance and masculinity is clearly portrayed from the opening scene till the end of the movie. Like any other action movie, Simmba conveys the message to the viewers that it is only this masculinity that is going to save the females from whatever they are facing i.e. Female on her own is highly incapable and weak without a heroic male. Also, the female lead character doesn't play a major role in the main plot of the movie.
The movie on one hand is a fight against rape, it also on the other hand encourages the act of stalking. It has used stalking in a way to stimulate anger against rape.

But the most disturbing aspect of the movie is the dialogue that runs throughout the movie which goes like this, ''Agar tumhari behan ke sath aisa hota to?"
It struck me hard how difficult it is to accept the fact that some things are bad in itself and not because they are associated with certain people.

The movie tries to put the audience in the shoes of the rape victim and her family in order to sympathize with her using this dialogue, forgetting the fact that no matter who the victim, rape is still rape! People have to program this in their mind for good or else nothing will improve. Making the audience feel sympathetic will not help but showing how bad this crime is, surely will. There is no need to imagine our sisters and daughters being raped so we can fight against the criminals. The victim should be seen as a victim, an ordinary girl, a human being just like you and me (and not necessarily as someone's sister or daughter).
