‘Meenakshi Sundareshwar’ trailer: Why is everyone speaking in Hindi?
The Hindu
The new footage features more exasperating Tamil stereotypes, exaggerated Rajinikanth fandom and the struggles of a newly-wed couple dealing with long distance
The trailer of upcoming romantic drama Meenakshi Sundareshwar was released today.
Starring Sanya Malhotra and Abhimanyu Dassani, the film marks Vivek Soni’s feature film debut and will release on November 5 on Netflix.
The earlier teaser of the film got a lot of flak online for stereotyping Tamilians with its depiction of Tamil culture, exaggerated Rajinikanth fandom (a shrine for the Superstar at home, really?) and everyone in Tamil Nadu speaking perfect Hindi... and the trailer is more of the same.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
