The contemporary narrative surrounding men, has been for a while dunked in murky waters where the bad almost always outweighs the good. In a world of Kabir Singhs and Animals — narratives lived out in real life or eventually emulated on screen — there is something extraordinary and laudable about the Aman Mathurs and Aditya Kashyaps hidden in plain sight. And while sometimes it may feel like it’s hard to come across them IRL, we always have the movies to thank, allowing us to escape into our dreams, where respect and love doesn’t need to be demanded, but is served on a silver platter. So as the world celebrates International Men’s Day, we must take congnisance of these Bollywood-bred on screen gems that have in some way or the other, contributed to the idea of ‘the perfect man’.
