The recent rise of violent films has started a new wave in Indian cinema. While many are liking the blood, gore and guns that celebrate the larger-than-life hero, many have found it unnecessary. At times, the boundaries of comfort of watching these scens on the screens are often compromised, leaving the viewers irked. Following the release of Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 and now Rashmika Mandanna-Vijay Deverakonda's Ranabaali, the internet has called out the depiction of pregnant women in these films and the visual violence against them.

Notably, Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 has a scene where one character is brutally beaten by the antagonist, only to be heroically saved by the antagonist Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, played by Rajinikanth. The internet is of the opinion that this scene could have been avoided in the Tamil film.
