\"Chitrangda Chitrangda Singh<\/a> has shared her thoughts on the criticism around ‘Housefull 5’. The film faced backlash online for how female characters were shown. Many people said the jokes were mostly aimed at women\u2019s bodies. Talking to News 18 Chitrangda said she did think about the comments once they started coming in. But she also explained how actors see a film when they sign it. \u201cI did give it a thought [once the comments began coming in]. But when you hear a script, you don\u2019t hear a shot breakdown. You only visualise as much as the screenplay tells you,\u201d she said. She added that beyond that, it is the director who decides how a scene is shown on screen.<\/p>\n

Chitrangda Singh Brings Glamour In Electric Blue<\/p>\n

Women roles and physical comedy<\/p>\n

Chitrangda agreed that in ‘Housefull 5’ the women had less strong roles compared to the men. She also shared a reality many female actors face. She said women often have to first prove themselves in glamorous roles before getting stronger parts. She made it clear she is not defending the film fully. \u201cI\u2019m not trying to justify any of it. But I think every actor only has so much control over what they\u2019re doing,\u201d she said. Talking about physical comedy, she added that it can feel uncomfortable at times when women are involved. \u201cSometimes physical comedy where a woman is involved does get a little, I suppose, uncomfortable to watch,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

When jokes work and when they don\u2019t<\/p>\n

Chitrangda explained that comedy is tricky. Sometimes jokes land well and people laugh. Sometimes they do not. \u201cSometimes they land and sometime they don\u2019t. It\u2019s only when they don\u2019t land that people start coming and criticising,\u201d she said. She gave examples of actors like Jim Carrey<\/a> and Eddie Murphy<\/a>. She said their films also had bold physical comedy, and people enjoyed them. She even mentioned an old film called Party and said such scenes existed earlier too.<\/p>\n

Her take on Dhurandhar and judging films<\/p>\n

Chitrangda also spoke about Dhurandhar and how it was judged by some people. \u201cSometimes when a film like Dhurandhar comes, some people may only look at it as a film with violent scenes but that\u2019s the storytelling,\u201d she explained. She said every genre has its own style. Sharing her personal view, she said, \u201cI don\u2019t judge it. It\u2019s up to the audience and their discretion to watch or not watch or agree or not agree with it.\u201d She added that while she may not feel comfortable watching certain scenes, people should give films some freedom. \u201cSometimes, we get slightly over-judgmental. But you got to take it in the right vein and give it certain cinematic allowance,\u201d she said.Meanwhile, ETimes gave ‘Housefull 5’ a rating of 2.5 stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chitrangda Singh has shared her thoughts on the criticism around ‘Housefull 5’.
