Kangana Ranaut’s Tejas Stunt Creates Twitter Laughter: Fans Wonder, ‘How Did This Movie Miss the Oscar?’

In a surprising twist, Kangana Ranaut’s latest film, “Tejas,” is generating controversy due to the actress’s aerial stunts, which have faced severe backlash on social media platforms. Despite being based on the life of Air Force pilot Tejas Gill, the film experienced significant box office disappointment, collecting only ₹6.2 crore nett in India last year.

• Backfire of Bold Statements

Kangana Ranaut’s response to a user praising “Tejas” as an “excellent movie” that failed in theatres took an unexpected turn. Instead of letting the comment pass, she used the opportunity to criticize the success of another film, “Animal.” However, her remarks seem to have backfired, as users are now sharing a sped-up video clip of a specific scene from “Tejas.”

• Critique of Aerial Stunts and VFX

The controversial scene in question features Kangana’s character, Tejas Gill, on a daring rescue mission, facing tribal adversaries on a beach while performing seemingly unrealistic aerial stunts. Users have taken issue with the visual effects (VFX) and screenplay, labelling the execution as poor and impractical.

One social media user humorously questioned the lack of support for the film, stating, “Why should I alone suffer (laughing emojis). Guys, why didn’t you support this masterpiece in theatres? Poor Konakona ji.” Another sarcastically commented, “How did this movie miss the Oscar?”

• Logical Flaws and Filmmaking Choices Under Scrutiny

Criticism extended beyond Kangana to the director, Sarvesh Mewara, with users expressing disappointment in the filmmaking choices. Tweets highlighted logical flaws in the scene, questioning the director’s approach and effort in crafting a realistic sequence.

Despite the controversy, “Tejas” aimed to showcase the heroic journey of Tejas Gill, an Air Force pilot, on a dangerous rescue mission. Additionally, Kangana Ranaut underwent four months of rigorous training to master Indian forces’ combat techniques for her film role. The intensive program aimed at honing specialized skills.

• Awaiting Response Amidst Growing Criticism

The controversy over Kangana’s aerial stunts is escalating on social media. Meanwhile, the industry and fans await responses from the actress and filmmakers involved. The future trajectory of “Tejas” and its reception in the public domain remains uncertain.
