Anjali Menon's recent movie Wonder Women has been creating ripples since its announcement. The name of the project was revealed by the lead actors in a unique way that attracted criticism on social media.
Ever
since
the
movie
has
created
hype
and
it
was
released
on
Sony
Liv
as
a
direct
OTT
release.
The
movie
talks
about
pregnant
women
who
meet
in
a
neonatal
center
and
their
emotional
roller
coaster
ride.
The movie received mixed emotions on the internet. While few commended the director's take, few ridiculed the idea and screenplay.
Furthermore,
a
scene
in
particular
from
the
movie
has
been
going
viral.
In
the
scene,
a
lady
hailing
from
the
Northern
part
of
India
tells
Nadiya
who
happens
to
be
a
neonatal
coach,
to
teach
in
Hindi
since
she
can't
understand
English.
Meanwhile,
another
character
says
that
she
can't
understand
Hindi,
to
which
the
former
claims
that
Hindi
is
our
national
language.
Then comes the third lady who argues that neither Hindi nor English are national languages, they are one of the official languages.
In the end, the North Indian woman gets convinced and says that she knows a bit of 'Madrasi', to which another woman clarifies that there are a lot of languages in south India and adds there isn't any such language called Madrasi.
Though this scene seems to bring out humor at first instance, it sadly is our reality. As the scene goes viral on social media, it has created differences of opinion. There seems to be a divided response on the internet regarding this scene.

Your movie justifies bullying of north Indians due to language difference. You ppl have made TN hub of cultural chauvinism which luckily other South states don't share
Why the hell is this movie allowed in North belt. #WonderWomen 👎
