Problematic comedy is perhaps one big key factor in what Bollywood is built up now. There are WTF moments and mostly the moments where you look at the screen with your blank or frowned-up face thinking to yourself, ‘what did he say?’ and well, Bollywood doesn’t do anything to control this aspect of their whatsoever.
In the name of comedy, Bollywood likes to openly roast other people, call out, fat shame, and sometimes even pass very sexist jokes to get the audience laughing. Bollywood frequently employs patriarchal, chauvinist, and bigoted themes such as cross-dressing, negative body image, characterizing groups, and obscenity in the guise of humor.
