Annoying films

Malavika Mohanan has made her debut in Hindi cinema with Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi’s ‘Beyond The Clouds’, which features star kid Ishaan Khatter as her younger brother. In an interview, the actress opened up about the kind of cinema she relates to. While she loves watching all kinds of films, what she really finds abhorring is sexist cinema. She says, “I have never judged a film by its label or stereotypes; I don’t understand them and prefer not to use tags to define films. For me, it’s either a good film or a bad film. What really annoys me are sexist films, where stalking a girl, kissing her against her will or even slapping her butt is portrayed as heroism. I find such films really uncool. I hope that as an industry, we put an end to it, because films do influence young minds.”
