Episode 20: Movie review “Meenakshi Sundareshwar," and why Bollywood can't be bothered to say her name right
<p>In this episode, we review the 2021 Netflix movie, "Meenakshi Sundareshwar," by Dharma productions. The movie about a young married couple set in the town of Madurai, Tamil Nadu could've been an insight into a newer generation owning the rich culture of the region while navigating modern relationships. Instead, it played out as a cheap ploy to attract Indian audiences captivated by movies from South India by wooing them with stock-image level narrative of food, clothes, and of course, Rajnikanth.</p> <p>We take the conversation forward by discussing some tropes that have plagued our cultures Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, and other parts of South India. And also, sometimes it's a 'veshti' not a 'lungi'. Also, once in the episode we say 'misappropriation', it should be 'cultural appropriation'. </p> <p>Bonus: Learn about our pet peeves while watching bad movies.</p> <p>Related Links:</p> <p><a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/meenakshi-sundareshwar-inauthentic-stereotypical-take-on-tamil-culture-sanya-malhotra-abhimanyu-dassani-7616835/" target="_blank">Indian Express on Meenakshi Sundareshwar:</a> Meenakshi Sundareshwar is an inauthentic, stereotypical take on Tamil culture. So, what’s new?</p> <p><a href="https://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/report-is-bollywood-finally-taking-the-marathi-manoos-seriously-1763126" target="_blank">DNA: </a>Is Bollywood finally taking the 'Marathi manoos' seriously?</p>
