Telangana State Women’s Commission demands end to degrading dance steps in Telugu films
The Telangana State Women's Commission in Hyderabad has issued a directive to the Telugu film industry, calling for an immediate halt to any dance sequences that demean or degrade women. This decision was prompted by several complaints regarding inappropriate and offensive dance routines in recent films. The Commission emphasized that the influence of cinema on society necessitates responsible portrayals of women, and any dance steps that promote humiliation or obscenity will be dealt with under relevant laws. They urged filmmakers, producers, choreographers, and the entire industry to exercise self-regulation and uphold the dignity of women, promoting positive messages instead. The Commission is open to public feedback and will continue to monitor the situation closely.01:38 PM Mar 20, 2025 IST
