You can take Hey Ram as an example written and directed by Kamal Haasan. All the main actors are from the same ethnicity of their characters except Mahatma Gandhi because to symbolically say he's beyond that. And all those parts of India shown in that movie was represented as rooted as possible to the culture and to that specific time period.
Literally every character from a different culture/state is stereotyped in bollywood not just south indians. All Punjabis are chicken and beer loving loud people that randomly say Burrraahhh!! All Bengalis are artists and love macchi(fish). All Goans are Parsi and love their cars. All Nepalis work as a watchmen.
At d same time they showed Thamizh guys always wearing veshti nd shirt along with towel on d shoulder, wat a stupidity. In 'Two states' Hindi film , in a hotel scene they showed tat bearer wearing veshti nd shirt alone with towel, n tat scene Revathy mam acted, y c didn't tel nd change it. At d same time ladies means they keep colourful flowers on head nd keep Thiruneeru on forehead, then often using ayayo word😡😠👿
While stereotyping is an issue, even the stereotyping is wrong is the problem here. You cannot do no research and cast North Indian actors for South Indian roles and then expect to get away with it by saying that everything is exaggerated in Bollywood. For instance, Kerala and Tamil Nadu stereotypes are often mixed up. That’s just lazy writing.
@@parvathyashok3038 Ok have you seen "Punjabi house" Malayalam movie casting, stereotyping is there in every film industry North or South, Watch Tamil movies, most movies in last decade have villains who show characteristic of north Indian, with long tilaks/broken or accented spoken tamil dialogues(actually they bring North Indian actors deliberately like Ashish vidyarthi). Gujus, Marwadis and sindhisshown as shettus/ pawn brokers with cunning mind or heartless!.....Punjabi drivers always doing bahle bhale/ angry/ready to draw long sword., Mallu chechi shown as sensually speaking in between moans, always in white saree....theses are partial list of stereotyping in South Indian Films.

But like that everyone can point out such things from all communities. It wasn"t stereotypical in portrayal but just character from south india, almost like just an indian citizen.

The issue with South Indian representation in bollywood is not that they are caricatures, it is that they are tasteless and crass. Many caricatures of North Indian/Marwaris/Sardars (but not as bad ) exist in Tamil but these movies are not marketed outside Tamil Nadu. The problem is that bollywood is ambitious & it wants money from all of India, hence needs to be more responsible and not portray only caricatures. That's why I loved Family Man and Farzi as they portrayed Tamil & Telugu speaking characters who code switch as per the situation (which is what you will expect in real life).

South films ridiculing North Indians and North Indian culture are very rare (compared to the opposite). Yes, there exist a few but very very less (compared to the opposite). Mani-Ratnam made a Tamil movie "Mouna Raagam" in the 80s, filmed mostly in Delhi, and yet North Indians & their culture were shown with a lot of respect and true to their form (with minimal ridicule). Yet to see a mainstream Bollywood film that did the same for South Indians and their culture. This particular stereotyping doesn't sell much in South India. This is probably because there's insane amount of diversity in a very small area in South India (very different languages, different cuisines, different dance-forms - all in a relatively small land area). So acceptance of different Indian cultures - as they are - comes naturally. By comparison, North India is much more homogeneous, linguistically (again by comparison to the South), so not being able to speak/understand their primary language (Hindi) is tantamount to not being Indian, while in South, not being able to speak their local language is not strange at all.
Mumbai is in Maharashtra Western India but people up north unless well travelled and educated consider it the south. But even for Maharashtrians, southern accents are quite heavy and thus in our childhood, pre internet it wasn't uncommon to mock that accent. This when a large no of people in Mumbai were and are from several southern States. As also the fact that the Maratha Kingdom had more historical affinity to Tamil Nadu, Karnataka etc
I always find it funny when Maharashtrians talk about the “strong accents” of South Indians, when the Maharashtrian accent in English is hilarious. “Shuz” instead of shoes, is just one example. Pretty sure if Maharashtrians spoke any of the South Indian languages, we would laugh too. The only ones who are an exception are the ones who’ve grown up in the south, like the Maharashtrian community in Karnataka, and that’s because, other than the language they speak at home, every thing about them is South Indian.
@@priyaravindran6150 stereotypes 😭. Every city of Maharashtra has diff accents... in their Marathi as well as in English. No need to talk Shit about other cultures. Go from Pune to Mumbai or Aurangabad... you will gonna find diff accents ( in Both Marathi and English) And the stereotype Maharashtrian accent is for people who Comes from village or don't know English very well. The way South Indians stereotypes north and west India 👀🙄
@@Aradhaya45720 Lmao, funny talking about “stereotypes” on a comment talking about South Indian accents being too “heavy,” and that it was common to “mock them,” or is it ok to say these things about South Indian accents but not Maharashtrian ones?🧐 I’ve lived in Mumbai and Pune, traveled and worked in different parts of Maharashtra like Dabhol and Raigad, and this is 100% true. Inability to say “shoes” and “pizza” properly are just two examples, but the list is long( and this is in places like Pune btw, not just the villages). Sure, accents in Maharashtra differs just like the accents in south India differ, but it’s Maharashtrians who like to make fun of South Indians, but people like you get their panties in a bunch when it’s flipped on you😂 And you got to be kidding me, Maharashtrians think all South Indians are “Tamilians” and “Madrasi,” but you want to talk about stereotypes. Hilarious!😂😂😂

And people like you also get their panties in bunch ( the language 🙄) when it's flipped on them.💀 I mean south indians only care about their region... but I grew up in lots of diff states from every part of India ( my dad works in army) .... I lived in Bengal, Karnataka, Maharashtra ( my State) , Assam, Punjab, gujrat..... so I respect every culture. I'm not like you ... who talk shit about others culture to protect mine.

We should all stop learning about human societies through Films, movies or entertainment industry. If one wants to study about people, social history and anthropology needs to be studied. Movies are not the way to learning about a human culture and societies...!!
Telugu cinema and literature consistently gives its love to Bengal. We have a huge appreciation for Bengal and Bengali culture since so many of our freedoms fighters and literary figures studied in Kolkata and often wrote about the magic of Bengal.
‼️‼️The difference comes from language ...indians have edge over rest of the world cuz of english and indian pluralism......south indians get an edge cuz they knw more languages than north indians‼️‼️
Bollywood depends on South Indian Tamil films industry One of best actresses are from Tamil films industry Even Bollywood songs voice given by South Indian Tamils
The examples used are older films where over the top characters were often used, not just South Indian characters, Bengali, Gujarati etc. They were there in probably 95% of films back then. These were not serious art films and nobody questioned them.
Guys they are all from Comedy movies and comedy roles. Chennai Express is a comedy movie, so was Padosan. Iyer from Agneepath was comedic role for Mithun. We can’t take them seriously.
Idk what you mean by that but we mostly don't use North Indians as much North uses South. Atleast we make songs that hail the beauty of North like Varanasi in Indra, Kolkata in Choodaalani undhi, SSR etc. unlike the North. We had few villians from North ( Bihar to be precise in just very few movies ) and they are clearly shown as any other South Indian villians .
And moreover most of South movies dubbed or remake in hindi and the bollywood takes the all credits. the world considered all good south films are bollywood films its sucks man😤🤬
North indians are not even indians by race. They migrated from iran egat was mesopotamia in the ealrier times. Search for kushan empire. Several sources consider sizeable Muslim populations and deep-seated Islamic, Central Asian and Afghan influences to be defining characteristics of North Indian culture, both linguistically and culturally. Some of these influences are pre-Islamic, such as the Bactrian-originated Kushan Empire (modern day Afghanistan) that maintained twin capitals in Mathura (now in Uttar Pradesh) and Peshawar (in the present-day Pakistani Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province), as well as the Hun confederacies that periodically asserted their rule over large parts of North India.
Bollywood is exaggerated depiction. Its not just south Indian, even maharashtrian are too like tawade, gaitonde, tapori language. Rural person is too rural, villain is too villainous, hero is too heroic, haryanavi, up, bihari all are depicted in their most extreme versions. Its what makes it fun, without exaggerations it will become a documentary.
@@priyak7384 well, even if i could, it would be a disaster as long as people like yourself are there in the audience who are incapable of understanding nuances!
In short these two Americans are saying they are more United as Americans than us indians , I understand where this unintentionally (because of ignorance ) mocking of south india .
Bollywood is just pathetic...the movies are boring but the songs sung by Lataji were superb. I would rather watch realistic and talented Malayalam cinema.
It’s so sad that people talk more about n.Indian than south.Everyone should know that most of the Hindi movies are made ins.India and topmost actors and actresses are from south.so stop talking and teasing about south India.Most of the people from south speak multiple languages whereas north they tease south Indian as though they are from super universe but most of them won’t talk in English.As soon as you ask any foreigner they always say oh Bollywood and few actors.Any country for that matter north or southeast or west we are all one and same as Indians !!!
Every corrupt hawaldar or inspector if shown from Mumbai is Marathi.. Every domestic help is bai..with a marathi accent But from that you also get beloved characters like Baburao ganpatrao aapte, Viru Sahastrabuddhe, Lakshmi Godbole from Chachi 420.. Its the perspective .. you take the joke and move on..
In the past, I thought Bollywood was the entire film industry in India. Now I knew that there are various 'wood’ there lol. But, still I choose Bollywood.. there are SRK, Amithab Bacan, Rani Mukherjee, Deepika Padukone, Anushka, Hritik, Madhuri, Salman, Amir etc. they are very good, handsome, beautiful and I prefer their language especially Hindi songs! 😘
There are no ''woods",there are different film industries based on languages. I hate the terms Bollywood, Tollywood sounds like some cheap ripoff version of Hollywood
I enjoyed the video instead of fighting over who is better. Yesterday it was Pak Vs Ind now its North Vs south tomorrow it will be Neighbor Vs Neighbor 😮 chill guys, i like movies based on story and acting doesn't matter stereotyped or not.
Agree with some, but Lungi dance song is nothing offensive they are just wearing traditional south dress and celebrating,dancing, ain't making fun of south in that song,infact its a tribute song to rajnikant. One will also find same stereotypes about north in south.Srk showed that song to rajnikanth.
As a south Indian also i can easily say this dude simply created Bollywood vs south indians argument! Its like these days even one word against bollywood can get you tons of engagement so let's all make one! 😍🙄
He said all these characters are player by north indians , he is factually incorrect. Carnatic teacher in padosan was played by legendary Mehmood, who is a Tamilian in real life . Deepika is kannadiga ( south indian !) . Not justifying it but this is not inappropriation but an exageration. Even south indians potray north indians with exaggeration in their movies and I think this cinematic liberty is alright ! I am a proud and Secure south indian and I don't feel offended by these things !
They are all mostly comedy movies and comedy characters.. spoofing isn't the same as painting someone in a bad light, padosan and chennai express are the perfect example.. we know south indians are not this way, it's just over the top comedy
Every region has stereotyped another region very badly. Please don't promote it 🥲South has also stereotyped North badly. It's just how it works. Americans stereotype Indians and vice-versa.
True..but the ratio is higher... especially in Bollywood movies...in the South you might see a few characters who are dressed up as North Indians...but the problem is Bollywood makes an entire film portraying an entire region of South with all the wrong information...padosan and agneepath was understandable...but chennai express and Meenakshi Sundereshwar and many others were just a shit show
Why do you have to react to these one sided attempts to ‘put down the other’ kind of videos ? It’s like pandering to a certain audience. I’m sure there are videos which can show both the sides in a balanced way. Or maybe it’s just a patreon liability.
Finally, the comment I was looking for. I agree with you bro. It's their South Indian Patreons who recommend these videos. Nowadays South actors are doing better than bollywood actors in North but they won't talk about that.
The examples he is taking are only comical characters not serious characters that makes a huge difference, the aim was to look funny that's why they show a typical behavior, not just south they stereotype every other regional guy in movies what ever language you consider
Asian men were too taken as comical side pieces and so we're Indians in Hollywood. Are we supposed to excuse the stereotyping for that? Also, the portrayal of south Indian communities are meant to be authentic in these films. Padosan I can even excuse for it being old and cimedic film. But Ra One, Chennai express, and that recent movie. Just weird.
Technically Bollywood had done better than South industry. It also depends on the professionals working in respective industries. South movies show so many unrealistic over actions to please the mass people. Now I am fed up with the crime, thriller movies, I think 80's 90's were the best.
@@ajaykrishna240 yes, I agree. In have never seen any over action Malayalam movies in my life. But loves to watch some old movies where everything is simple. Love to see how people were living in 80's & 90's and their life style, speaking style, dressings etc.
Director or Padosan movie was Jyoti Swaroop. He was from Mysore/ Karnataka state. Mahmood himself was fom Arcot. he was the actor there and one of the producers too. Chemai express was directed by Rohit Shetty. A Kannadiga. Blaming north and being racist and abusive to "northies" is a fashionable trend due to southern politics.
Stereotyping is there in every film industry North or South, Watch Tamil movies, most movies in last decade have villains who show characteristic of north Indian, with long tilaks/broken or accented spoken tamil dialogues(actually they bring North Indian actors deliberately like Ashish vidyarthi). Gujus, Marwadis and sindhisshown as shettus/ pawn brokers with cunning mind or heartless!.....Punjabi drivers always doing bahle bhale/ angry/ready to draw long sword., Mallu chechi shown as sensually speaking in between moans, always in white saree....theses are partial list of stereotyping in South Indian Films
Hey, I know Krishnan Iyer MA is a full on bad stereotype, but that's an iconic character. But I guess it's easy to see why that character was not brought into the remake (it's not a spoiler if you are saying what's not in the film).
South Indians should do a movie mocking cringe Bollywood

South films ridiculing North Indians and North Indian culture are very rare (compared to the opposite). Yes, there exist a few but very very less (compared to the opposite).
Mani-Ratnam made a Tamil movie "Mouna Raagam" in the 80s, filmed mostly in Delhi, and yet North Indians & their culture were shown with a lot of respect and true to their form (with minimal ridicule). Yet to see a mainstream Bollywood film that did the same for South Indians and their culture.
This particular stereotyping doesn't sell much in South India. This is probably because there's insane amount of diversity in a very small area in South India (very different languages, different cuisines, different dance-forms - all in a relatively small land area). So acceptance of different Indian cultures - as they are - comes naturally.
By comparison, North India is much more homogeneous, linguistically (again by comparison to the South), so not being able to speak/understand their primary language (Hindi) is tantamount to not being Indian, while in South, not being able to speak their local language is not strange at all.
That's how Bollywood shows even foreign or English characters also stereotypes 😂
I don't know whether to be happy that kannadigas are not stereotyped in Bollywood / angry that Bollywood thinks all south Indians are ' madrasi'
Bollywood makes fun of everyone, not only South Indians.

Mumbai is in Maharashtra Western India but people up north unless well travelled and educated consider it the south. But even for Maharashtrians, southern accents are quite heavy and thus in our childhood, pre internet it wasn't uncommon to mock that accent. This when a large no of people in Mumbai were and are from several southern States. As also the fact that the Maratha Kingdom had more historical affinity to Tamil Nadu, Karnataka etc
I always find it funny when Maharashtrians talk about the “strong accents” of South Indians, when the Maharashtrian accent in English is hilarious. “Shuz” instead of shoes, is just one example. Pretty sure if Maharashtrians spoke any of the South Indian languages, we would laugh too. The only ones who are an exception are the ones who’ve grown up in the south, like the Maharashtrian community in Karnataka, and that’s because, other than the language they speak at home, every thing about them is South Indian.
@@priyaravindran6150 stereotypes 😭. Every city of Maharashtra has diff accents... in their Marathi as well as in English. No need to talk Shit about other cultures.
Go from Pune to Mumbai or Aurangabad... you will gonna find diff accents ( in Both Marathi and English)
And the stereotype Maharashtrian accent is for people who Comes from village or don't know English very well. The way South Indians stereotypes north and west India 👀🙄
@@Aradhaya45720 Lmao, funny talking about “stereotypes” on a comment talking about South Indian accents being too “heavy,” and that it was common to “mock them,” or is it ok to say these things about South Indian accents but not Maharashtrian ones?🧐 I’ve lived in Mumbai and Pune, traveled and worked in different parts of Maharashtra like Dabhol and Raigad, and this is 100% true. Inability to say “shoes” and “pizza” properly are just two examples, but the list is long( and this is in places like Pune btw, not just the villages). Sure, accents in Maharashtra differs just like the accents in south India differ, but it’s Maharashtrians who like to make fun of South Indians, but people like you get their panties in a bunch when it’s flipped on you😂 And you got to be kidding me, Maharashtrians think all South Indians are “Tamilians” and “Madrasi,” but you want to talk about stereotypes. Hilarious!😂😂😂

But making fun of anyone's accent is wrong. And people like you also get their panties in bunch ( the language 🙄) when it's flipped on them.💀
I mean south indians only care about their region... but I grew up in lots of diff states from every part of India ( my dad works in army) .... I lived in Bengal, Karnataka, Maharashtra ( my State) , Assam, Punjab, gujrat..... so I respect every culture. I'm not like you ... who talk shit about others culture to protect mine. I respect everyone's culture .. I have privileged to travel to all This state and experience such a beautiful culture, food and festivals. And I'm grateful for that experience
South films >>>>>>>> bollywood
We should all stop learning about human societies through Films, movies or entertainment industry. If one wants to study about people, social history and anthropology needs to be studied. Movies are not the way to learning about a human culture and societies...!!
Telugu cinema and literature consistently gives its love to Bengal. We have a huge appreciation for Bengal and Bengali culture since so many of our freedoms fighters and literary figures studied in Kolkata and often wrote about the magic of Bengal.
Its vice versa bro, we Bengalis have huge respect for Telegu, Tamil and Malayalam industries
‼️‼️The difference comes from language ...indians have edge over rest of the world cuz of english and indian pluralism......south indians get an edge cuz they knw more languages than north indians‼️‼️
Have you reviewed the movie VIP - prabhudeva Ram ha song- netru no no naalai no no . . Both dancers stops a baby crying by their dance
Bollywood depends on South Indian Tamil films industry
One of best actresses are from Tamil films industry
Even Bollywood songs voice given by South Indian Tamils
Malayalam movie KAMALADALAM .
Song is Aanantha nadanam aadinaa
You need see this movie named Gemini and the hero is Vikram, and it shows how North Indians are treated....
Loved the video 😂😂
The examples used are older films where over the top characters were often used, not just South Indian characters, Bengali, Gujarati etc. They were there in probably 95% of films back then. These were not serious art films and nobody questioned them.
DO MORE OF HIM
to tell the representation done by the bollywood cinema on south indian cinema is telling like china is the founder of pizza.
Guys they are all from Comedy movies and comedy roles. Chennai Express is a comedy movie, so was Padosan.
Iyer from Agneepath was comedic role for Mithun. We can’t take them seriously.
Ok …if it’s comedy y don’t u mock & derogate urself Bollywood … leave the south alone ✌️
South India is not just Tamil Nadu and South Indian movie is not just Tamil movie, in this all have shown related to Tamil culture

North indians are not even indians by race. They migrated from iran egat was mesopotamia in the ealrier times. Search for kushan empire. Several sources consider sizeable Muslim populations and deep-seated Islamic, Central Asian and Afghan influences to be defining characteristics of North Indian culture, both linguistically and culturally. Some of these influences are pre-Islamic, such as the Bactrian-originated Kushan Empire (modern day Afghanistan) that maintained twin capitals in Mathura (now in Uttar Pradesh) and Peshawar (in the present-day Pakistani Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province), as well as the Hun confederacies that periodically asserted their rule over large parts of North India.
This is different.
Bollywood stereotypes each and every part of their own country
Its not about only south Indians but Bollywood stereotypes every state, language and Culture. Mostly racist way.
Bollywood is exaggerated depiction. Its not just south Indian, even maharashtrian are too like tawade, gaitonde, tapori language. Rural person is too rural, villain is too villainous, hero is too heroic, haryanavi, up, bihari all are depicted in their most extreme versions. Its what makes it fun, without exaggerations it will become a documentary.

Many Tamils songs represent north indian culture in a good way .
Padosan was a satire, so obviously everything was exaggerated.

Padosan had to be exaggerated as it was played for laughs. Even Kishore Kumar had a trickle of paan down one side of his chin all the time!
Fun could be made by not stereotyping people from that region, I can't believe you did not get what he said
It’s so sad that people talk more about n.Indian than south.Everyone should know that most of the Hindi movies are made ins.India and topmost actors and actresses are from south.so stop talking and teasing about south India.Most of the people from south speak multiple languages whereas north they tease south Indian as though they are from super universe but most of them won’t talk in English.As soon as you ask any foreigner they always say oh Bollywood and few actors.Any country for that matter north or southeast or west we are all one and same as Indians !!!
Every corrupt hawaldar or inspector if shown from Mumbai is Marathi..
Every domestic help is bai..with a marathi accent
But from that you also get beloved characters like Baburao ganpatrao aapte, Viru Sahastrabuddhe, Lakshmi Godbole from Chachi 420..
Its the perspective .. you take the joke and move on..
Bollywood is itself based in mumbai and not north indian.
In the past, I thought Bollywood was the entire film industry in India. Now I knew that there are various 'wood’ there lol. But, still I choose Bollywood.. there are SRK, Amithab Bacan, Rani Mukherjee, Deepika Padukone, Anushka, Hritik, Madhuri, Salman, Amir etc. they are very good, handsome, beautiful and I prefer their language especially Hindi songs! 😘
Ur choice only.still bullywood sink
There are no ''woods",there are different film industries based on languages. I hate the terms Bollywood, Tollywood sounds like some cheap ripoff version of Hollywood
They degrade south indians so much which I dont like
I enjoyed the video instead of fighting over who is better. Yesterday it was Pak Vs Ind now its North Vs south tomorrow it will be Neighbor Vs Neighbor 😮 chill guys, i like movies based on story and acting doesn't matter stereotyped or not.
Agree with some, but Lungi dance song is nothing offensive they are just wearing traditional south dress and celebrating,dancing, ain't making fun of south in that song,infact its a tribute song to rajnikant. One will also find same stereotypes about north in south.Srk showed that song to rajnikanth.
Its a tribute but the facts aren't right in the song. It just doesn't make any sense, very poor lyrics and misleading as well.

Selectively chooses to not mention recent stuff like Family Man which portrays the South accurately, just to fuel Bollywood hate
What he'll bolly wood waste .no story at all waste .
He said all these characters are player by north indians , he is factually incorrect. Carnatic teacher in padosan was played by legendary Mehmood, who is a Tamilian in real life .

give us some examples man. Fucking back your statement
Deepika is from Karnataka but not a Kannadiga. She is Konkani.

They are all mostly comedy movies and comedy characters.. spoofing isn't the same as painting someone in a bad light, padosan and chennai express are the perfect example.. we know south indians are not this way, it's just over the top comedy
so all the scenes shown above are spoofs? lol. I thought that one scene where SRK says "shotgun murugan" was the only spoof here.

Why do you have to react to these one sided attempts to ‘put down the other’ kind of videos ? It’s like pandering to a certain audience.
I’m sure there are videos which can show both the sides in a balanced way. Or maybe it’s just a patreon liability.

The examples he is taking are only comical characters not serious characters that makes a huge difference, the aim was to look funny that's why they show a typical behavior, not just south they stereotype every other regional guy in movies what ever language you consider
There aren’t any serious characters from south in bollywood. Does that mean that should also be thought about as a stereotyping.
Asian men were too taken as comical side pieces and so we're Indians in Hollywood. Are we supposed to excuse the stereotyping for that? Also, the portrayal of south Indian communities are meant to be authentic in these films. Padosan I can even excuse for it being old and cimedic film. But Ra One, Chennai express, and that recent movie. Just weird.
Technically Bollywood had done better than South industry. It also depends on the professionals working in respective industries. South movies show so many unrealistic over actions to please the mass people. Now I am fed up with the crime, thriller movies, I think 80's 90's were the best.

@@ajaykrishna240 yes, I agree. In have never seen any over action Malayalam movies in my life. But loves to watch some old movies where everything is simple. Love to see how people were living in 80's & 90's and their life style, speaking style, dressings etc.
Director or Padosan movie was Jyoti Swaroop. He was from Mysore/ Karnataka state. Mahmood himself was fom Arcot. he was the actor there and one of the producers too.
