Sandeep Raj began his career with Chai Bisket and slowly built his name in the industry. He later became a director with Colour Photo, which won a National Award. Although the film was released directly on OTT due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it received a very good response. However, Sandeep Raj is now facing heavy criticism for his latest film, Mowgli 2025.
The director, who has also co-written several web series and acted in notable films like Daaku Maharaj, took a long gap before making his second directorial film. Mowgli 2025, which was recently released in theatres, failed to make an impact at the box office.
Mowgli Brings Negative Remarks For Sandeep Raj
Since last week, the film has been streaming on ETV Win, and criticism from netizens has increased significantly. Viewers are not only unhappy with the film’s overall execution, but are also calling out several scenes as poor and cringe-worthy.
Certain scenes have drawn strong backlash, including one where a corrupt police officer forces or blackmails an IAS officer into a sexual relationship. Other scenes showing the villain and supporting characters repeatedly commenting on the heroine’s behavior and character, and portraying her in situations where men lust over her and speak badly about her, are also being widely criticized.
Audiences expect fresh and sensitive storytelling from new-age filmmakers like SandeeP Raj. Many viewers are unable to accept such lazy, disturbing, and emotionally triggering scenes, especially when they feel unnecessary and poorly handled.
