How Dream Girl 2 Challenges The Fragile Gender Stereotypes Of Society

Ayushmann Khurrana and his films are here in this kalyuga to save us from the adversities that society is inflicting on us. His movies are silently rescuing us by creating the awareness that films were initially brought into the picture for. Right from his debut movie, 'Vicky Donor', to his recent release 'Dream Girl 2', he has chosen to challenge the norms of society and rectify the issues that continually persist.

Who Is The 'Dream Girl'?

The one who makes every ounce of your blood rush with excitement, who entices you with her glamour, and the one who makes you want to be a worthier man to be able to deserve her – she is the Dream Girl. She dances like no one else, believes no bounds of society, establishes the feminine as a superpower and the masculine as a mellower version of itself, the dream girl ring ring ra ra rings your dil ka telephone.

What Sets Dream Girl 2 Apart

The Dream Girl 2 is an honest representation of a man who cross-dresses as a woman and makes society uncomfortable by challenging the present societal norms. The set societal rules that have taken the shape of rigidity as time has evolved, have led to concrete segregation between the two sexes and restriction in expressing your chosen gender identity.

Thanks to Dream Girl 2 for normalising cross-dressing and not making a huge deal out of it. Transgenders and drag queens have so much to go through for their personal chosen interests which is as tragic as not being able to accept your assigned gender.

Slap On The Face Of Hypermasculinity

In a world where it is a compliment for a female to be called masculine but disrespect for a male to be called feminine, Ayushmann Khurrana chose to wear all the gorgeous clothing that women drool over and pull off with the most grace. His courage in letting the feminine in him get unleashed is what we call a secure, masculine man.

His delivery of Pooja in both Dream Girl 1 and 2 is beyond enchanting and a loud slap on the face of the entire concept of hypermasculinity as it shatters the prejudices attached to it. A man who wears a woman’s clothing is not a shame to society but is more comfortable in his skin than those who object.
