Samantha’s ‘not so’ special song

Samantha’s first special number, Oo Antava OoOo Antava, in the upcoming film PushpaThe Rise has been the talking point ever since it was released a few days ago. The actress’ seductive look and sensuous moves haven’t gone down well with many, who feel that the lyrics are not suited to her personality, especially in light of her strong performance in Family Man.

Her dramatic movements, expressions and gestures in the massy song aren’t in sync with how the audience sees Samantha. Also, the lyrics are about how men generally look at women, and her skimpy outfits and the bling sets add to the effect.

Netizens have been trolling Samantha, bringing up an old tweet by her in which she describes as ‘regressive’ a poster showing Kriti Sanon falling at the feet of Mahesh Babu in the film 1 – Nenokkadine. Now that she herself has featured in a dance number that has arguably regressive lyrics, netizens are calling her a ‘hypocrite’.
