Misogynistic, problematic, but still entertaining: Rewatching Kartik Aaryan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 20, 2026 07:46 PM IST Eleven years ago, a young boy from Gwalior, moved to Mumbai to become an engineer. However, he decided to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor, and got his first breakout role in Luv Ranjan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama. When the rom-com hit the theatres in 2011, it left the audiences divided. While some viewed it as a rare and honest take on modern romantic relationships, others called it a one-sided, exaggerated rant against women. Also starring Divyendu, and Raayo S Bakhirta as leads, the film also had a stellar run at the box office. As Pyaar Ka Punchnama clocks 15 years of its release, I rewatched the film to reflect on its narrative choices and how it creates a long-lasting cultural impact. Kartik’s iconic monologue Say whatever you want, the 5-minute long monologue by Kartik Aaryan was truly iconic. The actor’s delivery of the viral rant about relationship woes is still a part of pop culture. The high relatability of the moment also helped Kartik …

Misogynistic To Say Woman Must Predict Marriage Issues If Older Than Man: High Court

Misogynistic To Say Woman Must Predict Marriage Issues If Older Than Man: High Court

Published by Webster

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has termed as “patriarchal” and “misogynistic” the argument that a woman must foresee marriage-related difficulties in case she was older than her partner. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, therefore, refused to quash an FIR against a man accused of raping a woman on the false promise of marriage. The court said the argument was “legally untenable” and “devoid of merit” and observed a woman’s decision to engage in a relationship based on the man’s specific promises couldn’t be dismissed as a mere obsession when he later went back on his commitment. “The submission (of man’s counsel) that a woman must assume additional responsibility and foresee marriage-related difficulties solely because she is elder to her partner is based on a patriarchal and legally flawed premise,” the judge said on March 20. The order went on, “Such an argument not only lacks legal standing but also reflects a misogynistic perspective that seeks to impose an unreasonable burden on the victim while absolving the petitioner of accountability for his own assurances and conduct.” …

‘Misogynistic’: Supreme Court slams Bombay high court order for ‘illegitimate wife’ comment | Latest News India

Published by Parlour News

The Supreme Court on Wednesday criticised a Bombay high court order that used phrases like “illegitimate wife” and “faithful mistress” to describe a woman, saying the remarks were “misogynistic”. The bench also called the remarks a violation of the woman’s fundamental rights. A view of Supreme Court of India. (Hindustan Times) Taking note of the “objectionable language” used by the Bombay high court, a bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka, Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Augustine George Masih observed that the use of such words was against the ethos and ideals of the Constitution. “Unfortunately, the Bombay high court went to the extent of using the words ‘illegitimate wife’. Shockingly, in paragraph 24, the high court described such a wife as a ‘faithful mistress’,” it added.

Calling a Woman “Illegitimate Wife” Is Misogynistic: Supreme Court

Calling a Woman “Illegitimate Wife” Is Misogynistic: Supreme Court

Published by Webster

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that a spouse whose marriage has been declared void under the Hindu Marriage Act is entitled to seek permanent alimony or maintenance from the other spouse. Even if a court comes to a prima facie conclusion that the marriage between the parties is void or voidable, pending the final disposal of the proceeding under the Hindu Marriage Act, the matrimonial court is not precluded from granting maintenance pendente lite, added the apex court. In view of the conflicting views on the applicability of Sections 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the question as to whether alimony can be granted where marriage has been declared void was referred to a 3-judge Bench in August last year. Apart from the above question, the 3-judge Bench also dealt with the question as to whether in a petition filed under the Hindu Marriage Act seeking nullity of marriage, a spouse is entitled to seek maintenance pendente lite (pending the litigation). The appellant’s counsel contended that a marriage declared …

Disgusted Tabu slams misogynistic article attributing false statements to her

Published by Webster

Tabu has hit back at online articles attributing a bunch of false statements to the Bollywood actress. Written in an absolutely misogynistic manner, the article published by an website called M9 News makes appalling claims like the Crew actress has said “she is not interested in marriage and only wants a man to sleep in bed with.” The statements have been picked up by some other websites like ap7am, too. What does the article say? The article is not only demeaning the 54-year-old actress, but women in general. It opens with a ridiculous assumption: “Being classy and attractive after 50 is extremely tough for any Indian actress.” It then goes on to say, “Known for her classy persona, Tabu is known for her over-the-top looks at the age of 52 and still thrives to maintain her position as a top diva in Bollywood. As she still remains unmarried, she has cleared her intentions of making love.” That is not all. There are more undignified sentences in this article, like, “She stated that she is not …
