Does Toxic really hold toxicity?
Updated: Jul 22
There has been a bombardment of comments as soon as the trailer and the songs of the film Toxic have come out. People are judging Kiara Advani on her bold scenes with actor Yash in the trailer. Comments like "oh she is a slut", "how can she do such scenes being a wife and a mother", "RIP Siddharth Malhotra"(referring to her husband) are making the headlines. To the surprise, those same people are not questioning actor Yash for the same scenes in spite of him being a father and a husband.
There can be two varied sides to this scenario. One is, the scene what is shown in the trailer or the song is a sequence of the story that is the shooting of the film. It is the scene what is shot at a particular moment that too in the presence of 50 plus people be it the camera man, be it the director, the assistant director. We brainy people who are showing so called mercy towards Kiara's husband Siddharth commenting or judging the scene with a complete different angle forget in our filmy dreamy world that the shooting of the scenes is work like one works in office. Yash and Kiara are colleagues and they have not been on vacation or at each other's place making out in real. On the top of it, when this trolling was going on, unbothered to all this, Kiara very mindfully maintained a calm pace was vacationing in Switzerland with thankfully a very supportive husband Siddharth Malhotra.
Second is, if we observe it at the second angle, although this is shooting, but scenes have been shot in real and our culture doesn't approve of it. Shooting or doing intimate scenes with anyone shouldn't be promoted as it is not taken into account ethical culturally in the name of shooting, which is also not wrong. That's the reason such turmoil of trolling she has to face in India.
But than, again, the trolling should have been for Yash as well.
If both of the scenarios are right, than what about the story telling? If a particular story has to be pass on to the audience than what is the way towards it ? Should we change the story? Or should we not deliver it to the audience? I suppose both of the things are not right. If a particular story has to be shown and it involves the showcase of the intimate scenes than what should we do? In my opinion, the scenes should be shot in a manner that our culture is maintained as well as scenes are shot according to the storyline. If we have to film the particular scenes in India, than it should be taken care to shoot it carefully so as to maintain its cultural dignity as well as clarity of story telling. `
