Overview
- Speaking in a Dec. 30 interview, Chitrangda Singh said audiences can be over‑judgmental, adding she is not defending Housefull 5 and would have preferred some scenes be handled differently.
- She stressed that actors hear scripts without shot breakdowns and that directors ultimately decide how scenes are visualised on screen.
- She acknowledged that physical comedy involving women can feel uncomfortable and said such humor is judged by whether it lands, citing accepted examples from Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy films.
- Invoking Dhurandhar, she argued viewers sometimes reduce films to one element—violence in thrillers or physical gags in comedies—rather than the broader storytelling intent; reports note Dhurandhar’s strong box office and a sequel slated for March 2026.
- Context: Tarun Mansukhani’s Housefull 5, released in June with a large ensemble, drew criticism for objectifying women and grossed about ₹288.58 crore worldwide on a reported ₹240 crore budget.
