Shankar incarnate as a stranger
Shankar, who made his directorial debut with the film Gentleman, directed the film Stranger after receiving harsh reviews for Boyz. Based on the multiple personality disorder that occurs in a person, the film has the character Ambi disguised as a stranger and hunts the corrupt people in the society and those who do not respect the laws.
Shankar faced criticism
Even though Shankar made a name for himself as one of India’s greatest directors, right from his debut film Gentleman, Shankar always made films for what was considered to be the upper class. Criticism was made that he would see this society only by standing on their side. For example, many would accuse Shankar of taking a wrong view of reservation in Gentleman.
It is noteworthy that even Kamal Haasan heard the story of Gentleman and said that the story of the film is wrong and I am not acting in it. Faced with such criticism, Shankar was heavily criticized during the film Stranger.
Why didn’t Ambi kill Nandini?
In this case, the netizens have started criticizing the scenes of the film Stranger and the director of the film, Shankar. That is, Ambi will kill all the wrongdoers in the movie Stranger by turning into a stranger. If that is the case, the netizens are raising questions as to why the stranger did not kill Nandini, who was committing malpractice in the deed registration.
Besides that, the stranger named Ambi did not spare Nandini’s life just because she was his girlfriend. Some on social media also say that he was left alive because he belonged to the upper class.
A justification for Charlie; A justification for Sangeet Sabha Secretary?
Similarly Charlie character is lazy without doing any work. So in the mindset that they are a burden to the earth, Charlie is brutally punished and killed by a stranger named Ambi. Whereas, when Nandini wants to perform at the Sangeeta Sabha, she gives a small punishment to the secretary of the Sabha who asks for a recommendation and stops her.
In fairness, netizens are questioning that the stranger should have killed the secretary of the Sangeeta Sabha, who says that someone needs a recommendation to show off his talent, rather than killing Charlie, who is just being lazy without causing any trouble to others.
Is it only the upper classes who will feel wrong?
For Shankar to hunt only the erring middle class and the lower classes with a stranger is not virtuous in any way. Why do middle class and lower classes make mistakes? Apart from that, the netizens are suggesting that Shankar, who made the scenes so that the stranger forgives Nandini and the Sangeetha Sabha secretary, can also have scenes to forgive others.
There will be scenes where strangers kill others to justify their wrongdoing; But Nandini and Sangeetha Sabha secretary, who are said to be upper class, will be shown to realize their mistake. So only those who are considered upper class will feel wrong?. Therefore, through this difference, we can understand how narrow minded Shankar has taken the film Stranger, and the social media users are criticizing it severely.
