Psychologist reviews ATRANGI RE |  

What other movies would you like me to review?

The movie never claimed schizophrenia. The little girl had trauma related psychosis. The last scene was like hypnotherapy where the therapist brings you back to your childhood…and you realize why you were traumatized. You are totally right about the psychiatrist friend. He was a waste of space.

The best friend’s character was THE MOST problematic aspect of the film. And we’re talking about a film that had many such plot/loop holes. I’m not a psychologist/psychiatrist, yet the film just boiled my blood to the core. Have huge respect for Anand. L. Rai and team for investing so much into their films, but the slightest level of sensitivity is what the film lacked.

The fact that no one is criticising, is the biggest clue to the state of mental health awareness in India😔

Yesterday, I watched this film with my mom and with every scene I was like what the hell is happening. The way they have portrayed mental illness is disgusting, I mean atleast gain some knowledge from the right professionals and then use it. The psychology student inner me was so upset but anyway I'm so glad you made this video. I'm gonna share it with my fellow classmates and other people. Ps: love what you do, you're an inspiration! ❤

Fun fact: This became the most watched movie over wherever it got released? 😲 People are too out of money to take up therapy, but all their money flies off their bank accounts when it comes to going to theatres or taking up Netflix, hotstar etc Lol

But this is not really a movie about mental illness. I think it depicts the reality of the society today. People do make a joke out of mental illness. People do trivialise mental illness. For me, I did not take any offence in the fun making because it's what is happening. But the main characters being doctors and doing all these funny things is a bit illogical. Some movies depict reality, some movies exaggerate because that's what movies do. What is influential from a movie is really not clear. I think you're offended perhaps because you're a psychologist. And sure, that makes sense and that's okay.

tbh I feel no representation is better than false/bad representation.

I have been studying schizophrenia medications in multiple projects both orals and LAIs and I was shocked, extremely shocked as to how they thought and depicted schizophrenia treatment works!!! The tx's aim not to resolve love triangles!!!!

The movie A beautiful mind very clearly portrays how serious schizophrenia is and that released in 1992.

I resonate with you on every level!. Being a psychology graduate I often get sidelined and mocked for calling out anything that belittles and trivialise mental health. It’s exhausting and hurtful.

I absolutely love your educational content. I find it very supportive to my analysis of the wrongdoings of influence caused by art and movies. I had a conversation with a friend about how art influences people and we influence art too but there has to be a boundary in many influential aspects of art and media. Thanks a lot for what you are doing!!

Completely agree with your point. Movies create influence and that is how people perceive it in real life. Mental condition is not a joke and shouldn't be treated as one. The portrayal was definitely wrong but I think people should be smart enough to see that rather than foolishly believing in whatever is being catered to them. I believe its the illiterate and unintelligent people who will get influenced by this not the smart ones. The film however was very good and like I said it should be treated as a film rather than trying to derive a moral story out of it. Just for fun and entertainment.

I completely agree with the fact that the movie didn't throw proper light on mental illness but should that be the main sole reason to dismiss the movie on a whole? And also, when did we decide to make movies as advertiser of mental illness awareness, shouldn't the awareness start in our education system? Yes I do agree there are better movies that talk about mental illness like a beautiful mind, silver linings playbook, etc. but atrangi re comes no where close to being a film that talks about mental illness in the first place because that wasn't the creators intension or vision from the very beginning. You can criticize the film for it's portrayal of mental illness but you cannot dismiss the fact that this movie is really really good. You have your opinions and I have mine and although I agree with you on most of the things you have said in this video, I still stand by the fact that dismissing this film and hating it is just not fair. Peace :)

If only schizophrenia were so quick to get cured

Hey Divija, There's a kdrama called 'It's okay that's love ' where the main character has schizophrenia. I loved the kdrama but since i don't have much knowledge about schizophrenia, i wonder if they have portrayed it rightly or not. After watching this drama , i came to know that there is something like schizophrenia. I was wondering if you could do review of any shows or movies where they have actually portrayed mental health or other conditions in q correct manner. Thanks for doing these reviews btw. 😁

This proves even after all the SSR thing , Bollywood will still make fun of mental health ..

My father is a psychiatrist, believe me we were both so angry after watching the movie, every scene made us feel like "what the hell"

It's a brilliant film and must see...from someone who has experienced mental illness for years. Films are an art, and psychologists cannot make the them. Never expect films to teach everything about life...do your own research audience and have fun!

I just watched the movie and had a lotta concerns!🙂 Timely video ✨

Mental illness can be cured with love, friendship,laugh,songs bottom line is if you are surrounded with right kind of people then every mental illness can be cured

To be honest, it sounds so logical from ur point of view but if they show everything to the common man . They won’t digest. Most of the people like it now coz it feels real . 🤓

I agree with what you said. I think its important to take medicine for that person to feel better, not for the comfort of those around them. The movie gives off the message that people with mental ilness annoy, bother the people around, which is humanly wrong. Another thing is that taking medication comes with side effects, which for me were horrible and now I feel like a different person and it is not nice. (I used to take antipsyhotics. I tried different ones, but I decided to go off them) And bruh, if you expect me to take pills for you, I am mad. Another thing I am angry about is when everyone with mental ilness was put in the same box, saying they can see the hallucination. Maybe I am going too far, but it kinda feeds her psychosis. This doesn t go only for this movie, but I absolutely hate it, when people romanticize mental ilness. For example, depression. It s not only being sad(don t get me started on people saying that depression is just saddness), insomnia, sh. It s also smelling bad because you haven t had a shower in weeks, missing deadlines, failing exams, being fired, looking bad(please, not the mascara tears), older than you actually are, but we don t see these in movies, because it isn t fancy and cute, is it? (But, there are also people with high functioning depression) And guess what? Even if you show a little bit of this, there is also that person, who saves you and becomes your lover. I am sorry for people, who like 13 reasons why, but I don t see a personality trait, besides her disorder, depression. (From what I remember, there is someone that likes the main character. I understand that you want to help her, but love?) You just minimized her whole being to her mental ilness. Good job! Sorry for the long comment.

It’s nice to see a healthcare provider reviewing movies. I enjoy movie reviews more than the actual movie. I subscribed!

Thanks for making this video and making us aware abt this movie. I had no idea abt the story in this movie since i dont pay attention to bolly movies these days. Also side note i know this is a serious video but this is an appreciation for your eyeliner 😂. Full paisa vasool making a video with it on.

8:38 BRO HE LITERALLY SAID PPL WITH OCD CAN SEE THE INEXISTENT GUY I'M SO DONE WITH PPL.

What's more appalling is that this movie's come out in 2021. I mean there are some older movies that have depicted mental illness more accurately. although using it for a story, they dint make it a joke or trivialise it . Eg. Karthik Calling Karthik or 15 Park Avenue

Hey mamagoat! Love your content ♥ These vids actually are a huge step towards moulding mental health awareness and are more informative than my college lectures honestly :) Just being curious, can you review kartik calling kartik someday?

Your points are logical. I just watched this movie and then I came to see review for this movie. I feel the same as you said. and, at some points, their emotions and acting were okay and Dhanush especially has done a good job. however, this film has to be very serious entirely by not directing some mocking or funny scenes. I know that people should have at least little knowledge about mental health to understand this movie otherwise some people will take it in another direction. and I am saying this coz, I have also gone through a serious mental illness and I am still healing from that. and as a patient, I understand the importance of the main character "Rinku". I cried a lot while watching it, I mean I couldn't stop my tears 'cause I am relating the character of Rinku. anyway, this movie would be something else if it was directed in a more serious way like you said. thank you for this video and god bless you all.❣❤❣

I think it’s not schizophrenia, could be a rare manifestation of PTSD or (I forgot the exact term for this but I remember that it’s seen in kids with unstable and abusive households where they create an imaginary world or an imaginary friend; it’s been more than a year since I’ve read psychiatry 🤭)… I agree with you on using terms like “pagal” and other derogatory terms to describe Rinku’s condition. As a doctor, I feel like they should have just hired a psychiatrist while writing the script but as an avid cinema lover, I think the movie is good, it made me cry at a lot of instances and I had a smile on my face in the climax. The title atrangi re was being referred to the story, as told by the actors in the promotions.

It's 00:44 and, I saw atrangi re and search in RU-vid for psychological perspective of that movie. And you know what I felt you are the only one who felt the same way where I felt. Then I liked this video and subscribed your channels. Hope you make more videos

To all those saying don't expect realism: But the film is too over the top. Do you really believe that medicine work like magic and that the patient will just understand everything on their own? 😂

Thank you for this video. Really resonated with everything you said. I felt the same and needed validation that I was not being uber sensitive.

That friend and psychiatrist enraged me SO MUCH. I get your being concerned about your friend, but don't you have any ethics as a mental health professional, as a medical professional. Especially the scene where he casually says the auditorium is filled with patients having OCD, Schizophrenia so they will see whatever Sara wants to show... like whaaaaaaaaaaaat? First, it is so unethical to pull a stunt like this in a hospital/medical college/anywhere, that too with no supervision of seniors, second, since when did OCD have hallucinations as symptoms, third, just because 2 people have schizophrenia doesn't mean they are going to indulge in each others' psychosis/hallucinations. Not getting accuracy on portraying mental illness is still debatable/forgivable, but at least get one correct in the entire thing.

Hey, chillax girl! The way they addressed this issue in the movie deserves some appreciation. It's meant for people who may not know much about mental illness, helping them take that first step of acknowledging its existence. The name might not make sense to you, but think about your own channel name too. Maybe learn a bit about movie-making and target audiences before jumping to conclusions. Keep it cool!

Exactly! I totally agree with you Ik it's "just a movie" but there are very few people with mental health awareness in India and you show it to the audience this way, like a joke, they are never gonna take it seriously. Actually this movie is not concerned with mental health awareness at all, I don't even know if they know what schizophrenia actually means, because if that was the case they wouldn't be portraying it this way and the way Rinku is "cured" in the end oh god If they don't know how to do it they shouldn't, I hope they don't make more movies like this (I just watched a summary of the movie, thank god I didn't waste my time)

The fact that no one is talking about this shows how seriously mental illness is taken in India

Thank you so much for making a video about this, can't wait to watch it.

Bollywood just disappoints so much 💀 They romanticise dangerous things like stalking and make a joke out of serious stuff like rape and mental illness

Amazing review,you make us aware and after going through your review, one observes the negative perspective and how certain scenes can influence us in a wrong way.Thanks a lot for doing this.

Yassss waiting for this 🙌🏻 i like ur reactions they're so meaningful :)) And also my medal?? 😌

I was so excited about watching this movie..being a psychology student..but again..here we are disappointed with the lack of sensitivity and seriousness that this film portrays..Just like you mentioned..it angers me too..how people who are completely unaware about such real life issues get adversely influenced...And the creators?I mean if you REALLY want to introduce a unique concept, why not be completely aware about it yourself first, much before introducing it to a society which is learning to adapt to the mere concept of mental health till date?!

mamagoat supremacy 🐐

This is just a movie so take it as it is.. Nobody can actually teach you psychology in just 2 hrs.. Fact is that somebody is trying to convey a message through,what people are not aware of.

everything you said is so true. i totally agree. you’re doing really good. much love xoxo

I totally agree with you. That’s exactly what I thought while watching the movie

Can you review "it's ok to not be okay" it's one of my favourite kdramas and I would love to hear your thoughts on it

Bang on!

Please review rockstar, tamasha and highway and help us understand what exactly they going through or try to show in those particular scenes

Thnks for making a video about this...its important for people to know tht mental health is important nd not a joke...nd its tru tht in India its taken very lightly..movies like those just make it worse

Please review Kartik Calling Kartik too.. p.s. All of us are extremely grateful for this type of content..Thankyou mamagoat🥺❣

THERAPISSED!!!! AHHHHHHH I LOVE IT

Always to the point!!!! Love your content and you ofc ❣️

i love your videos

I m also a psychologist and I totally agree with what u r saying.

Guys listen, *the movie never claimed it was schizophrenia* It was due to the traumas that she suffered during her childhood. And the movie isn't even ABOUT mental illness. It's a love story. That's it.

I want to become a Psychologist. Thank you for inspiring me 🙂 Edit:- Man I got more likes on this comment than people IRL like me

The psychiatrist friend's character gives a Jordan Peterson vibe

Diagnosed with SLD past 4yrs and it's my fault year after year I need to prove myself

Atrangi also kind off means different and not necessarily funnily weird. These are just my thoughts….

I have so questions after watching the film: Is it really that easy to treat mental illness with some medicines and lies? How did she understand everything on her own in the end?

Most concerning thing for me is people in India are enjoying this movie no one gives a damn about how they just made fun of this serious topic

I'm a Clinical Psychologist and did not like this review, maybe you need to get your facts clear before making such statements. Thank you

I totally agree with the hall scene. Even though I am not a psychiatrist I thought it was so problematic and dehumanizing.

Me : The Map of Bihar shown in this movie is wrong. Me : The Map of Delhi Shown in this Movie is completely wrong. You : I have not seen these maps in the movie. Me : Mee Too. I have not seen the Maps. This movie is not about Maps. It is for entertainment. Nothing more and nothing less. If you look for a primer on mental illnesses, you will be disappointed. You are looking at the wrong place. The husband : Seeing his just born girl child. To wife "You say, she looks exactly like me. but I see no similarity. Wife : Stupid, you are looking at the wrong end. 😃😃😃

We all love Dhanush but Atrangi movie is all about propaganda, nothing else. Now bollywood gutter involving South actor into that gutter..

Nd yea we luv u, ur vids give me a new aspect to life keep doing wat u do

Tamasha was a movie dealing with insecurity and borderline personality disorder and I guess bipolar disorder too. It did tried to show a deeper and realistic portrayal of the circumstances, mental state of a person going through it. But it flopped bcs it too complex for most of the audience understanding. I feel if Atrengi Re went deep audience out right rejected it. Mental illness is a complex issue and needs to be understood thoroughly so that u can portray it in such a way everyone can understand it. I guess the maker's themselves didn't understood what they were dealing with hence they choose to keep it like typical bollywood rom story.

as a someone who is very interested in cinema and wants to pursue it as a career...i loved the movie....and i sat here to watch this with a very salty mood preparing all hate comments before even actually watching it....but honestly i kinda do agree with you...they really did cause more harm than good and they never countered the taboo...it was more like "promoting paagalpan" and making mental illness a funnily weird of some sort...the movie was entertaining no doubt the actors were fab but they failed to make the point they were trying to...makers really could've done a better job and that doctor character was very genuinely shit...with that doctor they have delivered the message that all psychiatrists are frauds and people will become more scared them...

The mental health of Bollywood itself keeps detoriating while making every movie lmao

I was laughing at Shruti Sinha (she is from Roadies extreme ) because she continuosly says that I am a psychology student , that's why I can read people's mind

Are you literally translating Atrangi Re title into English and critiquing it?? You lost the review thing right there..

Please let me know basic difference between bsc psycology and bsc (honours)psycology..which is better option..secondly my niece is a student of 10 +2 medical stream..she is likely to get near 90 percent marks in the 12th...which CU or Govt colleges or Private univ/colleges will be the best for her..please guide me in this regard

👏👏👏 thankyou for this

Iam a doctor and trust me i honestly hated how mental health and it's treatment was shown . It did entertained me but i second u . Thats absolutely not how it works. The psychiatrist friend was a shame . Thats not how it works. This movie definately doesn't claim to be an ambassador which educates about mental health but since it will reach mass audience and people's minds are way more impressionable than many claim it to be also this may be the only medium which may have exposed them to mental illness related issue therefore it definitely raises eyebrows. See mental health is deeply misunderstood in society and let's break our privileged bubble and realise that bollywood and regional cinema still is major source of entertainment and knowledge to many people across country and a movie likes this is will act as an information primer about mental health and it's treatment and misinformation can be extremely fatal and we don't wish to experience blunders it can create . I have seen some cases of pseudoscience and misinformation getting diagnosed when it's too late . We educated and privileged section of society may just take it with pinch of salt because we are preconditioned to recheck facts on books and internet but it will not cross minds of many people . I absolutely enjoyed the movie but they could have best of all worlds if they would have had self educated themself about these things and then write this movie . It could have atleast been more right or educational and still entertaining. Educational movie can we very entertaining as well

Thanks for the review 🌼can you please review "A beautiful mind"

The writer of the movie is so arrogant that when he was asked about the genuine controversy of the movie he states that the script wasn't meant to be a documentary on mental health issues. Such arrogance.

Hey, I would like to see your perspective on the movie 3 "moonu" Great review so far 🙌❤️

Have you watched housefull 2 ? Now Idk in which film did they showed Akshay Kumar having DID... u know what I mean if u have watched the movie pls correct me if I am wrong.

Great review.

Okay. There are many things said here in the review that are correct medically about mental illness but you can’t expect a movie to be 100% medical ethically! It’s just a movie at the end of the day…

Can you review the movie Kartik Calling Kartik??

Waste video by so called intellectual girl... I really don't know that how today's educated class see outter things? The movie is based on multiple aspects not only mental illness of a girl. And all these facts copied by some articles or books won't help the core audience of India. It's a movie to give some sort of message to society so please take it in that way... This girl is considering a movie as a psychological patient's biography for medical students. The movie is awesome by the way...

if the movie is realistic, it will be very generic. there has to be element of entertainment. imagine Big Boss without a script.

It is a problematic film, very bad for those who don't know alot about mental illness but it was a light heart watch.... A one time watch maybe... I think it does put forth a little bit on suppressed trauma and on the fact that suppressed trauma can come out in very strange and unexpected ways and does not just psychosomaticly impair an individual.

What if this movie just trying to potray the way mental health is looked down upon in our country?
