Negative influence

Sir, — The killing of Stephanie by four drunken men, who chased her in a car and knocked her down, shows the attitude of men towards women. Movies have had a big role in influencing such behaviour. Unfortunately, the audience sits back and enjoys the antics of heroes, ranging from eve teasing to molestation, on screen. The glorification of Gunas and Sethus in movies results in the killing of Sarikas and Stephanies on the streets of Chennai.

S. Charuhasan,
