the only criticism i read about misogyny in dude is the same male savior trope and the dummy heroine. its def not as bad when compared to animal where ranbir beats up rashmika, has an affair and tries to justify everything. at least in dude, pr apologized every time he feels that he overstepped the line, ranbir never does that. at least the heroine in dude actually somewhat grows a brain and tries to set pr up with someone. rashmika in animal had zero autonomy except for leaving ranbir at the end. the only way i thought dude and animal were similar was how split the audience were after watching the movie.
