From Animal To KWK Episode, Top Bollywood Controversies Of 2023

As 2023 prepares to bid farewell, we take a peek behind the curtain of Bollywood, a year that witnessed not just blockbusters like Jawan and Animal, but also hidden gems like 12th Fail and Sam Bahadur. But beyond the glitz and glamour, controversy swirled like confetti, fueled by personal revelations, relationship whispers, and films that pushed boundaries. Let’s rewind and revisit some of these hot topics that kept B-town buzzing in 2023:

Animal Unleashes a Roar of Anger:

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal ignited a firestorm. While Ranbir Kapoor’s performance earned praise, the film’s portrayal of toxic masculinity, misogyny, and violence stirred online fury. Some found it objectionable, others questioned the treatment of women. Adding fuel to the flames was Rashmika Mandanna’s unclear dialogue delivery in the trailer, leaving many bewildered. However, upon release, her lines fit seamlessly into the film’s dark tone.

Koffee With Karan: When Deepika Spilled the Tea:

Karan Johar’s infamous couch hosted Bollywood’s power couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. In a surprising confession, Deepika admitted to “seeing other people” before committing to Ranveer. While she emphasized her loyalty, the internet buzzed with accusations of using Ranveer as a backup. Ouch!

Ranbir’s Wipe-Out: Controlling or Caring?

Alia Bhatt casually mentioned Ranbir Kapoor’s dislike for makeup during a lipstick tutorial. He apparently preferred her natural lips, prompting Alia to “wipe it off” with her fingers. This seemingly innocent gesture triggered a wave of criticism, painting Ranbir as controlling and “toxic.” Was it a harmless preference or a red flag? Opinions remain divided.

Adipurush: A Majestic Flop?

Om Raut’s ambitious Ramayana retelling, Adipurush, promised grandeur but delivered disappointment. Subpar VFX, weak dialogues, and a clunky plot left the audience, expecting an epic, feeling cheated. Despite tweaks after release, the film became a meme-worthy target, proving that even grand ideas can stumble.

Nawazuddin and Avneet: Age Gap Sparks Debate:

Amidst his ongoing divorce battle, Nawazuddin Siddiqui found himself in another controversy. A kissing scene with his Tiku Weds Sheru co-star, 21-year-old Avneet Kaur, ignited social media outrage due to their significant age difference. While some questioned the scene’s necessity, others defended it as artistic expression. The debate highlighted the complexities of on-screen intimacy and the ever-present age gap conversation.

These are just a few of the controversies that kept Bollywood on its toes in 2023. From fiery films to personal whispers, B-town proved yet again that it’s a stage where drama reigns supreme. As we close the curtains on this eventful year, one thing’s for sure: next year promises to be just as spicy!
