Misogyny in Indian films has quite often been discussed. But it was the 2019 film Kabir Singh directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga that drew heavy criticism. The film was criticized for its misogynistic lines and glorifying the violent nature of the lead actor. Other scenes that made to the list include Salman Khan threatening Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg, Naseeruddin Shah, and Satish Shah discussing how a woman deserves to be eve-teased, Shah Rukh Khan telling Madhuri Dixit about the duties of a wife among others.
