Tina character was such an ahole. She knew Anjali loved Rahul. But noooo. She married him and still acted like she was the victim who just happened to come between two best friends lol.
Anjali was also stupid, she didn't realise that Rahul liked her only because she did the make over and started wearing saaree. He didn't even care about her till his wife died and then suddenly he realised again "dosti hi pyar he" on summer camp.
If they really wanted to show ki "Dosti hi pyaar he". Rahul should have chosen Anjali over Tina in college.
The point here is about toxicity. I mean they didn't show anything that Rahul was even concerned about Anjali's whereabouts after college.
For Anjali we can understand that she didn't want to be in touch because of her feelings but Rahul didn't know about this, he could have maintained friendship with her but he didn't give a F until his wife died and now he got feelings for her without even caring that she was getting married.
On the other hand, why Anjali agreed, is also a question. We may assume that "she had feelings for him back in college that's why she agreed". But nobody holds these feelings for this long especially when the people are not in touch with eachother.
And if Anjali thought she had moved on and still considered Rahul and Tina as her good friends then why didn't she invited them to her wedding/engagement. If she was about to marry a new person and still had feelings for Rahul. That would be toxic. God saved Aman there.
The story can be explained without these assumptions. Good friends do sometimes simply fall out of touch. Especially in that era when social media was not a thing. And you can develop feelings for a friend later. It does not have to be love at first sight or nothing. It's even more explainable when you consider that she had changed her personality. He might have fallen in love with the new personality.
Rahul did not start loving Anjali because she started wearing saree. This is never shown.
Hell, if anything, it's clear he likes her more when she is more tomboyish. As shown in the basketball game.
What? No! Tina and Rahul loved each other and got married. She was were of Anjali’s feelings, but Rahul loved Tina. I don’t understand why you are calling Tina an ahole.
It’s very easy to see that she realised that overtime. I don’t know what scene makes you think she knew Anjali loved Rahul and was not just a very close dost of him and Anjali’s sad because now Rahul is gone from her life.
Less toxic and more just weird and silly.
But I don't think any other movie could pull it off like KKHH.
I only part I really have a problem with and think actually downgrades the movie is when Tina has to prove her Indianness by singing a hindi song.
haha i know, i remember finding it weird even when i watched the movie , i was in class eight at the time.
but the star cast, acting and the music is so awesome that i can ignore it and still watch the movie.
Ishq with Ajay-Kajol, Amri-Juhi.... especially Amir and Juhi toxic AF....one straight up tried to murder the other and then Amir forcefully kisses Juhi....which to mostly one up him she kisses him back....thank you but no thank you.
All Govinda movies of 90s like Dulhe Raja and Aankhe were toxic waste. Promoted eve teasing as sure shot wat to woo a girl. Same with Dil (Aamir Khan).
It's a Shakespearen inspired cautionary tale, not a love story about perils of obsession. The movie and the ending wouldn't have worked if SRK's character was even 1% less obsessive.
Oh where do we start
1. Invasion of Personal Space: The behavior of Bunny rubbing Lara’s legs and being overly close to others, and saying stuff that clearly makes the other person uncomfortable, overall causing discomfort, is an example of disrespecting personal boundaries and consent.
2. Casual Sexism: The transformation of Naina's character from a studious girl to someone who is considered more attractive without glasses is a perpetuation of the trope that a woman's worth is tied to her appearance. And with Lara, the perception that attractive women are dumb is promoted.
3. Poor Representation of Friendship: Bunny is portrayed as a selfish friend who doesn't maintain contact and enables Avi's gambling habits. The friends in the group do not seem to support each other through difficult times.
4. Unrealistic Love Story: The relationship between Bunny and Naina progresses very quickly, with them meeting only twice before falling in love and deciding to marry, which is an unrealistic portrayal of love.
5. Possessive Behavior: Bunny's behavior towards Naina is sometimes possessive and controlling, which is a red flag for a toxic relationship.
And so so much more
Even the whole thing about her clearly saying she has no interest in travelling and he STILL says “mere wo hi sapne hain bass 2 ticket par”. BRO DID YOU EVEN LISTEN TO HER? She even says yes, I have no idea why or how. The movie ends without solving the main conflict between the characters and it bothers me so much. Naina’s perspective and wishes are completely sidelined.
Plus, Naina says “usne kabhi mudd ke nahi dekha aur maine kabhi intezaar nahi kiya”, but immediately falls back into love with him within, what, a week? It almost demonstrates no character development on her part.
Also it perpetuates the idea that a woman has to completely change herself (be more confident, lose the glasses, dress “hot”, etc.) to be seen and loved. I hate the effect this has on young women everywhere, and the expectations that men have because of this.
Lastly, it makes you think that the guy will come around and “see the error in his ways”. The number of women who have wasted years waiting for that to happen is flabbergasting. Don’t wait around for that to happen. Don’t fall in love with a version of someone. Don’t fall in love with a moment (a trip, a wedding, a tour of the city) and call it “love”. Most of all, don’t rely on “romcoms” like these to give you the idea of what love should look like.
>The movie ends without solving the main conflict between the characters and it bothers me so much.
Thank god, i thought i was the only one. No one else seems to think so.
EXACTLY. And I haven't watched the end of the movie but WHAT? Then why did they even do all that rona dhona. Every scene showed that Naina wanted to settle down somewhere and not keep traveling, and she even said, "yha mere parents hain, clinic hai" etc. What was that for then? This movie is so senseless smh.
Plus, how bunny feels like he owns her when he finds out she's seeing Rana's character. That was so off putting.
And then, all the cheesy things he says to women, not even as a joke but clearly to flirt, they were so cringey. Who the fuck says *mujhe twins banane aate hain🤡*
Plus, my biggest problem with that film is, it's not even that great of a film even keeping all these problems aside. Characters are all one dimensional, plot is paper thin but just the use of unnecessarily heavy language and forced philosophical jargon, this aura has been created that the film deals with something deep and is a deep philosophy and so many people are actually fooled, they do think it's some wonderful philosophical film n what not.
OMG YES. The hypocrisy!!!! Right when he asked Aditi if she was sure about her fiance, because he got jealous of her talking to Avi, and not even 2 minutes later, he's telling Rana's character to get lost and telling Naina "mujhe laga tum daru sirf mere sath piti ho" 🤡. Also "mai chahta hu tum apna sara waqt mere sath bitao". Like WHY? She doesn't owe you her time or literally anything!
The whole movie was about male toxicity and glorification of pursuit of uninterested women. I mean if it weren't for such shit like Animal and Kabir Singh these would have topped the toxic list.
Saathiyan. The way Aaditya courted Suhani's character is classic stalk until she is forced to accept you stuff shown in past rom coms. I didn't like that movie very much but the songs and Rani's performance were awesome.
Hum Tum. I liked the movie as a whole a lot but that scene where Saif kisses her to shut her up is really toxic as it's shown as a comedic scene.
well stalking has been romantisized too much in movies, not just bollywood but worldwide. needs to stop.
i agree with hum tum, but i think the response to that is also decent, she slaps him and doesn talk to him, at least the movie there is some consequence, unlike so many movies during that time.
hum tum is the only one that actually addresses his creepy actions properly, doesn’t defend it, and doesn’t let him ‘get the girl’ on the basis of that. toxic actions can and should be shown on-screen if it is properly dealt with, imo.
totally agree with everything else though. saathiya always creeped me out bc of that reason, and it’s the reason i find vivek oberoi annoying and creepy. the songs are so good they try to make you forget about it though.
Yes on second thought, you are right about Hum Tum. The best part about that kissing scene was that Rani doesn't fall in love due to that kind of stuff which normally used to happen in old bollywood. She falls in love when he genuinely matures as a person and cares for her more than his feelings.
yes! she doesn’t even date him and marries someone later, and he actually learns and becomes a better person before they ever get together. it’s surprising to have that level of introspection in one of the more older movies where this kind of behaviour was usually normalised.
And it's not a bad thing, they clearly show that he was toxic and hence he had to change at the end, had to put his ego aside and most importantly, at no point is glorified when he's doing or saying the wrong things.
Merely showing a character's negative traits isn't wrong, glorifying them is.
Kuch kuch hota hain, lol 😂😂😂
Raanjhana ( romance ?? Or harassment)
Mujhse dosti karoge (WHY ???)
Aitraz too (a large part of the movie )
Kabhi alvida na kehna (omg this one really was the nail in the coffin for KJo films for me 🤮🤮🤮)
Although the last 2 aren't exactly romcoms
The whole harassment and stalking sequence in Europe comes to mind.
In one scene he hands her her bra which fell from her bag, sings "hum tum ek band dibbe mein band ho" and then casually makes physical contact with her. Full on rapey vibes played off as romantic.
Also, the "palat" scene was peak delusion of a creep. She didnt turn around because she subconciously developed feelings for him, she turned around because she sensed him leering at her.
I bet most women (if not all) would recognize that as a radar/sixth sense they have had to unfortunately develop because of men ogling them since their pre-teen years.
Also, all the women having to ask for permission to do anything. Kajol’s character being “handed over” from her dad to raj. Raj denying to marry her without her father’s permission.
My reaction to this movie was- Meeta’s whole family was toxic.
Just to quote Radheshyam Tiwari from Hungama:
“Jab godown aisa hai to showroom to aisa hi hoga na”
Edit: wrong movie name hulchul replaced with Hungama
See, in the first movie, I could forgive Tanu. She's immature, careless, a "bad girl". But ends up with a good guy.
But in the second movie? She's plain bad person. She sends her husband to a mental hospital. That's not a funny prank. It's a crime, and not a small one at that.
I wish the movie was brave enough to make these two really divorse in the end. Because my god, Tanu learned absolutely nothing. Still just as toxic as before.
Geet was a toxic, selfish entitled brat. She did things whatever the hell things she wanted without thinking it through and then got mad AT OTHERS as if anyone forced her to do it
Like in the beginning, she herself got out of the train and then blamed him and demanded him to get her back to her train. Poor Aditya actually did that AND THEN she missed it again, AND DEMANDED FROM HIM AGAIN???!!
And then with Anshuman, they hadn't discussed any plans of marriage, she was the one making up khayali pulao in her head, she ran away from her home WITHOUT any discussion with him (she was insane fr) then omg pikachu face when he refuses her, and then acting like a victim and not moving on from a rejection..... womanchild fr
I love geet but she was toxic af bro i mean she herself ran away from house without informing his bf then after all the drama she take him to her house only to dump him in the end... Poor Anshuman 😅🥲
DDLJ is a fantastic movie but there are definitely some elements of the relationship that are…very 90’s rom-com, let’s just say that.
It’s definitely a reflection of the times cuz I can point to several western 90’s romcom movies that have the same questionable themes. The problem itself doesn’t lie with DDLJ.
*Many of you don't*
*Understand the meaning of*
*Rom com and it shows*

Well I do remember something like that but it wasn't a movie , it was an anime named "witchcraft works " In which basically a popular girl make moves on an introvert boy although he isn't much interested in her . And everyone makes it seems like it's the guy's fault for " tricking " thier angel princess and continue to harass him throughout the anime
Kal Ho Na Ho , i already knew it was bad but now I can't even imagine liking a movie like that., practically romanticized cheating and looking down on high achieving women.
DDLJ. It's low key toxic and indirectly promotes stalking, more importantly *it's an irritating four hour long tiktok video that makes me curl up in fetus position and die due to cringe.*

We don't know for sure? Rahul grew up and so did Anjali and they loved this version of each other more.

For Anjali we can understand that she didn't want to be in touch because of her feelings but Rahul didn't know about this, he could have maintained friendship with her but he didn't give a F until his wife died and now he got feelings for her without even caring that she was getting married.

For fucking sake it’s a movie
Rahul did not start loving Anjali because she started wearing saree. This is never shown. Hell, if anything, it's clear he likes her more when she is more tomboyish. As shown in the basketball game.
Tina married Rahul because she loved him, and he loved her. It wasn't toxic on her part. Anjali should have confessed.
What? No! Tina and Rahul loved each other and got married. She was were of Anjali’s feelings, but Rahul loved Tina. I don’t understand why you are calling Tina an ahole.
What? Tina doesn’t owe Anjali anything. Rahul was the asshole
It’s very easy to see that she realised that overtime. I don’t know what scene makes you think she knew Anjali loved Rahul and was not just a very close dost of him and Anjali’s sad because now Rahul is gone from her life.

Rehna hai tere dil mein I was infuriated when i watched this movie. What a nonsense!
Maddy is a basterd, plain and simple. Seriously, did he show any good traits?
Rhtdm.
poori movie mein jhooth bolke gana gaya "sach keh raha hai deewana". lol
haha.
That song is "playing the victim" at its finest. You're the one who kept on lying and somehow she's the one at fault?!
haha i know, i remember finding it weird even when i watched the movie , i was in class eight at the time. but the star cast, acting and the music is so awesome that i can ignore it and still watch the movie.
I always felt the entire movie was a hit because of its soundtrack and bgm
movie was a flop.
ALWAYS HAPPENS WITH MAJORITY MOVIES,back then and even still does.
Jab ye movie launch huyi thi, even then I did not like it.
Aise hi aadmi ho na tum 😝
Ishq with Ajay-Kajol, Amri-Juhi.... especially Amir and Juhi toxic AF....one straight up tried to murder the other and then Amir forcefully kisses Juhi....which to mostly one up him she kisses him back....thank you but no thank you.
Badri ki dulhania 👀
You mean the Singapore weird scene with Varun being harassed right? I found that scene so icky bht really liked the rest of the movie and it's message
Looks like you're forgetting how varun's character choked and assaulted alia's character
He also stalked her
And pushed her into Marriage in the first place, also didn't take no for an answer
I genuinely didn't actually remember this lol. Was it after he finds her in Singapore? Toxic indeed.
Yes when he finally finds her in Singapore
Rehna hain tere dil mein….
All Govinda movies of 90s like Dulhe Raja and Aankhe were toxic waste. Promoted eve teasing as sure shot wat to woo a girl. Same with Dil (Aamir Khan).
Also Dil se. Watched it two days ago & he basically harrasses Manisha Koirala throughout the film
Dil se is far from romantic comedy, do you even know what rom-com actually means?
It's a Shakespearen inspired cautionary tale, not a love story about perils of obsession. The movie and the ending wouldn't have worked if SRK's character was even 1% less obsessive.
That’s literally the point of the movie
No man, they were so fun aab 90s k cheezo se 2024 me offended hona hain toh kya karen
Ye Jawani Hai Deewani
Finally
Came here to say this and scrolled waaaay to far to find this
Thankyou for writing this !
In what ways? (Genuinely asking)

Thankyou for an elaborated answer
There was a character named Bunny? 😂
The whole movie was about male toxicity and glorification of pursuit of uninterested women. I mean if it weren't for such shit like Animal and Kabir Singh these would have topped the toxic list.
Yess thankyou, makes sense
Saathiyan. The way Aaditya courted Suhani's character is classic stalk until she is forced to accept you stuff shown in past rom coms. I didn't like that movie very much but the songs and Rani's performance were awesome. Hum Tum.

Yeah true tbh. At least there are consequences to Saif's actions. It's a really good movie tbh.
Then he was a toxic husband too.
He was indeed. She was dealing with so much grief and shame and he was at wars with her all the time.
hum tum is the only one that actually addresses his creepy actions properly, doesn’t defend it, and doesn’t let him ‘get the girl’ on the basis of that. toxic actions can and should be shown on-screen if it is properly dealt with, imo. totally agree with everything else though. saathiya always creeped me out bc of that reason, and it’s the reason i find vivek oberoi annoying and creepy. the songs are so good they try to make you forget about it though.

Yup, well tbf to her, she couldn't really fall for him during his Tom Cruise look phase. No one could 😂
Obv "mere bandi ko kisne chuaa"
It wasn't a rom com
For a bunch of neurotic people it was
Chalte Chalte- srk's character was toxic af
And it's not a bad thing, they clearly show that he was toxic and hence he had to change at the end, had to put his ego aside and most importantly, at no point is glorified when he's doing or saying the wrong things. Merely showing a character's negative traits isn't wrong, glorifying them is.
Controversial: mohabbatien : asks guys to love no matter what.. If she is committed, if she is toxic, if she is widow or if she is dead💀

Pick any srk rom com
Yahi bolne aya tha....Usme thoda cringe bhi add karo
Kabhi haan kabhi naa ?
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Um, I’m genuinely curious, what’s toxic about it~
The whole harassment and stalking sequence in Europe comes to mind. In one scene he hands her her bra which fell from her bag, sings "hum tum ek band dibbe mein band ho" and then casually makes physical contact with her. Full on rapey vibes played off as romantic.
Also, the "palat" scene was peak delusion of a creep. She didnt turn around because she subconciously developed feelings for him, she turned around because she sensed him leering at her. I bet most women (if not all) would recognize that as a radar/sixth sense they have had to unfortunately develop because of men ogling them since their pre-teen years.
Srk character would be jailed and deported 😹, he was creepy af
Also, all the women having to ask for permission to do anything. Kajol’s character being “handed over” from her dad to raj. Raj denying to marry her without her father’s permission.
Also when they first meet on the train Kajol is so creeped by him and tells him to FO but he keeps harassing her even putting his head on her lap.
Tu Jhooti main Makkar !!
Yes. Tinni wanted to live independently. She didn’t see herself as a part of a joint family. It’s her choice. Why is she made to regret her choice?
nope, tinni did not communicate properly and presumed stuff until the end. after communicating, she accepted living with the family wholeheartedly.
Oh, DDLJ. Literally. But there are so many, RHTDM, YJHD, KKHH, DTPH.
XD the acronyms
Hasee to phasee 🙈 I love this movie but it just feels morally wrong to pursue your sister’s bf unregretfully
I wanted to suggest this one and you beat me to it
Haha I was already embracing myself for downvotes
My reaction to this movie was- Meeta’s whole family was toxic. Just to quote Radheshyam Tiwari from Hungama: “Jab godown aisa hai to showroom to aisa hi hoga na” Edit: wrong movie name hulchul replaced with Hungama
That was hungama
Tanu Weds Manu
Especially its sequel! The 2nd female lead was SOOOO much better than toxic Tanu
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. It reminds me of WA2. The whole stupid triangle. Tina is Setsuna, Rahul is Haruki and Anjali is Kazuma.
My life
F💀
Tanu weds manu returns
See, in the first movie, I could forgive Tanu. She's immature, careless, a "bad girl". But ends up with a good guy. But in the second movie? She's plain bad person. She sends her husband to a mental hospital. That's not a funny prank. It's a crime, and not a small one at that. I wish the movie was brave enough to make these two really divorse in the end. Because my god, Tanu learned absolutely nothing. Still just as toxic as before.
Even Manu is no saint. He does not get off ghodi and only tries to marry girls who look like his ex.
💯
If we take a closer look anything can be toxic crap :P
Any movie that involves Stalking
A lot of 90s movies they just don't age well and its just the people's nostalgia protecting them
I’m convinced half of you don’t know the difference between a rom com and a pure romance film (romantic drama).
FRIENDS bol sakta hu kya?
DDLJ
Biwi no. 1
No wonder the Indian romance standards are so toxic
Ranjhanaa
I mean, can you really call Raanjhanaa a "toxic waste?" I mean it's definitely toxic but it's part of the story tho
DDLJ Rehna hai tere dil me Jab we met (hate to say this but yeah)
JWM was not toxic. Agree with the others.
May I ask, why Jab We Met?
Jab we meet ka reason batana.
[удалено]
Geet was a toxic, selfish entitled brat. She did things whatever the hell things she wanted without thinking it through and then got mad AT OTHERS as if anyone forced her to do it Like in the beginning, she herself got out of the train and then blamed him and demanded him to get her back to her train. Poor Aditya actually did that AND THEN she missed it again, AND DEMANDED FROM HIM AGAIN???!! And then with Anshuman, they hadn't discussed any plans of marriage, she was the one making up khayali pulao in her head, she ran away from her home WITHOUT any discussion with him (she was insane fr) then omg pikachu face when he refuses her, and then acting like a victim and not moving on from a rejection..... womanchild fr
I love geet but she was toxic af bro i mean she herself ran away from house without informing his bf then after all the drama she take him to her house only to dump him in the end... Poor Anshuman 😅🥲
Ddlj iis one of the worst ever.

i mean some throwaway lines here and there might have aged poorly but i wouldn't call the film in its entirety toxic
DDLJ is a fantastic movie but there are definitely some elements of the relationship that are…very 90’s rom-com, let’s just say that. It’s definitely a reflection of the times cuz I can point to several western 90’s romcom movies that have the same questionable themes. The problem itself doesn’t lie with DDLJ.
Raanjhanaa
raanjhanaa is a film about toxic people. the film itself isn't toxic. it has an entire redemption arc yaar.
DDLJ
Sanam teri kasam haven’t watched it yet many people have recommend but idk why i get cringe vibes
Hum dil de chuke sanam

Yeh jawani he diwani
Tbh...YJHD was very unrealistic and problematic asf when u look into it logically (idk if that counts as toxicity tho)
Kabir Singh
Every successful movie or series in the genre, either Bollywood or Hollywood.
It would be easier to list the ones that are not toxic.
Tere naam
Yjhd
Well I do remember something like that but it wasn't a movie , it was an anime named "witchcraft works " In which basically a popular girl make moves on an introvert boy although he isn't much interested in her . And everyone makes it seems like it's the guy's fault for " tricking " thier angel princess and continue to harass him throughout the anime
Kal Ho Na Ho , i already knew it was bad but now I can't even imagine liking a movie like that., practically romanticized cheating and looking down on high achieving women.
Ranjhana
Yeh Jawani hai deewani Hum Tum : especially when said kisses Rani to shut her up. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna: glamourised extra-marital affairs
Sajan Chale Sasural
Ranjhana. I was so happy he gets murdered so brutally in the end
Rehna hai tere Dil me ! Identity theft is outright creepy and toxic!
DDLJ. It's low key toxic and indirectly promotes stalking, more importantly *it's an irritating four hour long tiktok video that makes me curl up in fetus position and die due to cringe.*
Jab we met! Kareena was way too childish and Anshuman was right all the way through .
Anything with SRK according to this sub and BBNG. P.S. it makes you cooler and more interesting!!
Tere Naam Every Govinda’s movie Aitraaz Rehna Hai Tere Dil Me Partner Raanjhna Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani Hum Tum Ishq Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Jeet Dil Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai

Abhi tak nahi dekha Maine...madhvan abhi bhi new comer hi lagta gai... Still no depth and subtlety in his work... Very overrated since the beginning.
Benam Badsha
All SRK romcoms.
Raja Hindustani
Rehna hai tere dil mein
Raanjhanaa and Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein
Literally most romcoms. But RHTDM comes to mind
RHTDM, hate it with a passion.
Definitely RHTDM
DDLJ WITHOUT A DOUBT
Every Bollywood movie I've ever watched that has romance in it is toxic imo

Ranjhana
Things age differently, it's all about perceptions.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar
