These depictions, whether in large-scale action spectacles or so-called light-hearted romantic dramas, can be deeply disturbing and triggering for sections of the audience. Filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan recently reflected on this trend, calling out what he sees as an often lazy approach to portraying violence on screen. In a conversation with the YouTube channel Yuvaa, he pointed to the film Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Aanand L Rai and starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon. ‘It’s just plain ugly’ “People say, ‘Unless you show violence, how will you talk about violence?’ Yeah, that is true.

Surbhi Chandna shares why Ishk Dum Aur Idli Rasam is so special to her

Published by Webster

Actress Surbhi Chandna, who has co-produced the streaming show Ishk Dum Aur Idli Rasam, has said that for her, making the show was all about celebrating love, family, and culture. The show is set inside a heritage South Indian restaurant struggling to survive, and is deeply rooted in food, family, memory, and emotional inheritance. At the heart of the series is Meera Nair played by Shiny Doshi, an emotional chef who believes food is service, comfort, and responsibility, not spectacle. For Meera, running her late father’s restaurant is not merely a profession, but a way of preserving his legacy, values, and emotional world. Her world is shaken when Arjun Thakur, portrayed by Abhishek Kumar, a chef-investor, enters her kitchen with the promise of revival but also the threat of erasing everything she holds close.

She couldn’t risk feeding into his obsession for this would only encourage him, so she spent her life in fear, running away from him, until he was dead.
