The re-branding of Fair and Lovely to Glow and Lovely is quite a popular topic that has received a lot of backlash all for the right reasons. I remember back in 2020 I wrote a research report on Colorism and internalized Racism where I included an example of Zubaida Apa's whitening soap. The advertisement displayed people from different parts of India who looked tired, upset, lethargic, and overall unhappy with their dark complexion. The use of color scheme was also quite interesting as these people were placed in dark and gloomy environments. Suddenly Zubaida Apa shows up into their lives, hands them the soap, they apply it to their daily skin care routine. Theres this transformation taking place where their complexions are lighter, they are happier and were to be seen embracing their day to day tasks full of energy. Zubaida aapa talks about how this soap is used to add a glow but in reality it is a skin whitening product that promotes Colorism and discrimination against darker skin tones

I so agree with your rant! Whenever someone asks me what is that one film you absolutely hated watching I would instantly say Kabir Singh, and upon them asking my initial response would be that it is because it highlights the distressing realities of men not being held accountable for their toxic masculinity and the problematic behavior that accompanies it, and on how women, whether or not they realize the problem, brush it under the carpet and submit to staying in relation to these men either because they are blinded by love, or that they do not know or have the strength to retaliate or call out their actions. There were multiple instances where the girl was quite upset with the man's behaviour and subtly voiced them, but yet again Kabir was able to ignore them by gaslighting her into thinking that he is this way because he just wants to "protect" her and is in love with her
