Thamarai has resigned to having a husband who won’t pay heed to her advice.
#90ML MOVIE TRAILER TELUGU FREE#
Rita’s ostensible objective in this film is to free her female friends from the shackles of their respective problems they seem to have resigned to. The audience jeered, and that made me not mind the scene so much. It rings artificial, and their victory rings even more so, but the director’s going for a metaphor. Sometimes, she’s leading them on to fight a group of gangsters. She’s generally dealing with other people’s sob stories, and sometimes, wants nothing more than to escape them.
Rita speaks her mind, and laughs uninhibitedly, and Oviyaa doesn’t really get too exposed in the emotional scenes either, because there’s not a great deal of them. The shaping of her character is quite in keeping with the strengths of the Bigg Boss Oviyaa we became familiar with and liked (her Bigg Boss punchline doesn’t work though). Refreshingly, she’s got no traumatic past that’s made her this way. In the 1970 film, a woman seeks revenge against a group of men who murder her family here too, it’s about a woman who charges at men, specifically those who won’t let her - or other women - live the way they want. It’s the sort of name we have typically given dispensable, negative female characters in cinema whose job is mainly to titillate. It’s a film about a woman of action, quite appropriately named Rita (in keeping with the 1970 film, Revolver Reeta, I imagine). 90ML isn’t great cinema, sure, but it’s still far better than some of our recent adult comedies, if only because you see it from the perspective of women.
All the outraging makes you wonder how our society would react should we make a woman the protagonist in a film like Dev D. Does 90ML feel a bit too simplistically propagandist? Does it seem a bit too far-fetched that a group of women, who have never tried alcohol before, go as wild on their first night together? Yes, and yes, but its faults don’t concern any danger it poses to society.ĩ0ML, its title notwithstanding, isn’t about women being lured into alcoholism these women only meet once every few months, after all. Does this mean mistaken choices too? Damn right, it does. The film’s arguing that women be free to lead their lives, make their choices, and without judgment. The more audience in my theatre insulted those women on screen for doing what men on screen have done for decades, the more I felt protective about Azhagiya Asura’s 90ML. Are the protesters angry about the intoxication and innuendoes on screen, or are they angry about women being shown to partake? The latter makes me want to defend this film, to rally for it. This isn’t as much an exercise in whataboutery as it is about wondering why the reactions are as polarised. It’s hard not to notice that many of those outraging didn’t seem to have found our recent trend of brodeo adult comedies (perhaps I should use that last word in single quotes) too problematic. People were mostly upset about the ‘crass innuendoes’, of all the ‘debauchery’. The trailer of 90ML had caused quite some furore on social media (for what it’s worth).
