Vetrimaaran who is known for making leftist-Dravidianist propaganda films has produced a film under his banner Grassroot Films called ‘Bad Girl’, that attempts to portrays the story of a Tamil Brahmin girl who wants to be rebellious, break the shackles of “Brahminical patriarchy“, chooses to live the “high” life and defies her parents and family.
The film being touted as a ‘coming-of-age’ drama about a Tamil Brahmin girl, glorifies her indulging in vice while her family is portrayed as being regressive.
The trailer features an elderly Tamil Brahmin woman, presumably the protagonist’s grandmother, angrily yelling at the teenage protagonist “Aye Peeda! Aathla Illiya Nee?” (Hey you filth! Are you have your periods?), a desperate attempt to demonize Tamil Brahmins and show them as despicable.
It also shows the teenage school going girl lusting over a boy from another community.
The girl then goes on to blackmail her mother saying that once school is over she will do whatever she likes with visuals showing montages of the girl having sex.
What is a Dravidioid film without peddling propaganda against the Narendra Modi government. The last scene of the trailer shows the protagonists family joining other members of their community banging their vessels and shouting “Go Corona Go!”, an apparent dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clarion call to thank the frontline workers for their unparalleled service.
The trailer of this film, produced by Dravidianist director Vetrimaaran in collaboration with leftist, virtue-signaling filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, was shared by the notoriously anti-Hindu and flop-prone director Pa. Ranjith.
Happened to watch #BadGirl, and it’s truly a bold and refreshing film! Director #VetriMaaran deserves immense credit for backing such a daring story. The film powerfully portrays women’s struggles and society’s expectations through a unique new wave cinema style. Congratulations… pic.twitter.com/EanrwiDE2I

There are some serious questions to be asked to these pusillanimous Dravidianists.
Will they be able to watch this film with their wives and daughters? Will Vetrimaaran or Pa Ranjith or Anurag Kashyap or Vijay Sethupathi raise their daughters like they’ve shown the protagonist? Will Vetrimaaran or Pa Ranjith or Anurag Kashyap show women of their families or community as ‘Bad Girls’ indulging in vice?
Why do these pusillanimous Dravidianist filmmakers always choose a Brahmin woman for their “progressive” and “bold” ideas? Why do they always go after the Brahmin woman’s flesh to satiate their fetish? Is it because they don’t find their own wives and women attractive?
Why don’t these pusillanimous social justice warriors show members of their community or any other dominant community as regressive? Why not show women of your own community to be “bold” and “progressive” breaking the familial shackles?
Why don’t you show a hijab-clad woman liberating herself to fulfill her desires?
Promiscuity is power only for Brahmin women and not for women of other communities? Will you allow your wives or daughters to be as promiscuous as you portray the protagonist to be? You want your wives and daughters to be “pathini” while you make Brahmin women as guinea pigs for your social justice experiment?
Dear Dravidoid cowards, Brahmin women are not your social justice trophies!
