Liger blends the worst aspects of Puri Jaggannath’s flicks and misogyny in Bollywood
Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda became well-known across the country after Shahid Kapoor replicated his Arjun Reddy and produced one of his most criticised movies, Kabir Singh. Liger, a Friday release starring Ananya Panday, marked Vijay’s debut in Hindi movies. The movie, which was made in Tamil and is supported by Karan Johar, is being billed as Ananya’s Tamil debut.
Most of us anticipated the Telugu film, directed by Puri Jaggannath, to be misogynistic. He has previously produced movies like Pokiri, which Salman Khan starred in and which brought filmy sexism to new lows in Hindi cinema.
Although the movie Liger begins with an MMA battle, our hero Liger (Vijay) is fleeing through the streets in an effort to save Tania, the girl he despises the most (Ananya). Vijay refers to her as a “churail” (witch) who has ruined his life in the voiceover. The next two hours show how Liger trains to become a world MMA champion, the part his mother (Balamani, played by Ramya) played, and how Tania is a catalyst for his success.
Puri is excellent at repeating the stereotypes of patriarchy and demeaning women while recounting the story. It starts with the description of the heroine (who is, indeed, a “churail” who tempts men to stray from their life goals). Then, as the flashbacks start, Tania follows Liger and even confronts him.
Balamani, Liger’s mother, is no better; she forewarns him of “churails” who will “wear ripped midis, smile, act all silly and then entice him away” from his life’s ambition of competing on a global scale. In actuality, the two main female characters—Tania and Balamani—appear to be the largest misogynists.
Even in one scenario, Liger engages in combat with a group of Krav Maga masters, maybe in an effort to disprove any claims of misogyny. But Puri Jaggannath also paints that situation with his gender politics without holding back. While they are fighting, Liger asks, “Why are you hitting me; did I impregnate you and run away?”
The misogyny was maybe expected considering Puri Jaggannath and the Arjun Reddy star worked together on the movie. The saddest aspect of the movie is how Ramya is portrayed. It frequently seems as though Rajamata Sivagami Devi from SS Rajamouli’s Bahubali was flown and placed in a setting with a debased culture. She is a far better actor than Liger, as we can see.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”
In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
