Yes, Sallu Bhai is vile, why are you surprised?

It is hard to find a Salman Khan film in which he is not an obnoxious ass (but he gets the girl in every single film anyway.)

It is amazing how we as a nation seem to have forgotten that in Dabangg, he asks the father of a random woman he meets on the road to commit suicide so that he could emotionally blackmail the girl into marrying him.

In almost all of his films, his romance can be summed up in on sentence "He falls in love at first sight, after initial hesitation, the girl agrees."

The only qualification he seems to possess is that he can beat up the rest of the lecherous filth who approach the girl. That he himself was being a lecherous criminal somehow seems to be forgotten.

Most of his so-called onscreen ‘love’ stories are this –

Jobless /morally questionable/criminal 'sees' the girl, laughably designated as the ‘heroine’ when truly she is merely the head of the hero’s harem.

In between flirting with every girl his eyes land on or salivating over some other skimpy dressed ‘tandoori’, he decides he is in ‘love’ with this ‘heroine’.

She could be anyone; a customer, a friend, a colleague or a classmate. More often that not she is literally some random woman on the road going about her business.

She eventually capitulates.

Why? Because now that he has decided that he is in ‘love’, any notion that she has a life of her own has officially ended. She is now an extension of him.

Mind you, this is for those movies where ‘love’ is the plot.

Personally, I have no idea why they bother with all of this “romantic” drama. It would be simpler, and make his movies much shorter, if somewhere in the first fifteen minutes he walked up to the girl, beats her senseless with a club, and carries her home.

Not that any of this stops him from sampling the occasional ‘Munni’ of course.

I don’t know why this hero is applauded for dancing with a ‘Fevicol’.

I don’t know why such a ‘hero’ is expected to not smoke or drink on-screen because that is an instant ‘bad’ influence. Heck, if that’s all the janta learns from him, I would consider it a blessing.

The point of all this is that the women in any Salman starrer have no role, no space, no minds, no thoughts and no ideas because a woman is not a real person in his films. It doesn’t matter if she refuses ‘at first’ and then sees ‘good sense’ and ‘falls in love’ with the random stalker.

It might have been fine if this ‘fantasy’ was not the reality in this country. Just read the news every day.
