They marvel at his ability to have lived without companionship for most of his life, not resorting to the comforts of technology, even. It is a fleeting moment of tenderness in a slapdash movie that otherwise reduces loneliness to a gimmicky afterthought. In the film, the loneliness of men emerges as a site of great anxiety that is sublimated through comedy.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set in Mathura,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is about Karam \u2013 a young man, so desperate for a job that he pretends to be a phone sex operator called Pooja \u2013 becoming the titular \u201cdream girl\u201d for men in and out of his life. Given that it is a heteronormative Bollywood film that cannot accommodate sexual interaction between men, emotional release becomes a way of articulating their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/relationships-dating-advice-love-romance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relationships<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But by accepting emotional support as a part of male social dynamics, the film does something new: it registers demands for masculinity to develop emotional literacy. Stock characters from the \u201cLife Cycle of the Indian Male\u201d \u2013 the callow oat-sower, the virgin bumpkin, the henpecked husband, the widowed father \u2013 make an appearance in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54990\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1569839570.jpg\" alt=\"dream-girl-aayushman-khurrana\" width=\"724\" height=\"407\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>In <em>Dream Girl<\/em>, the central romance is so inconsequential that the couple is engaged before the interval, signalling that this is really a film about the men.<\/p>\n<p>Pen Marudhar Entertainment<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prima facie, the movie\u2019s politics are not particularly progressive: female characters have little to do, a woman\u2019s frustration with patriarchal romantic culture and possible bisexuality is reduced to jokes about \u201cmisandry,\u201d and mardangi is ultimately invoked as a sheath. But perhaps these flaws are minor in a year that saw its most successful film glorify a hero who embodied the worst excesses of patriarchal braggadocio. In <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/kabir-singh-review-arjun-reddy-remake-shahid-kapoor-sandeep-reddy\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kabir Singh<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the titular Kabir is repressed, rageful, and indifferent to the feelings of others, most gallingly, his supposed love interest. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the central romance is so inconsequential that the couple is engaged before the interval, signalling that this is really a film about the men. That\u2019s not necessarily the worst thing: when male loneliness is played for laughs, it is underlined with a nervousness about the crisis of masculinity. The burden of bank loans compels Karam to take up this job \u2013 unemployment is emasculating and doing women\u2019s work only marginally less so. In the context of a precarious financial situation, debt and insecurity are key motors for the queering of roles. It\u2019s against this backdrop that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s portrayal of men and their relationships with each other makes sense.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do men cope with loneliness in the company of other men?\u00a0What is a model of manly bonding that is based on being a patient listener? The comically bad verse of a maritally frustrated, shayar manqu<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00e9<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> constable (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/thank-mira-nair-for-pk-dubey-monsoon-wedding-birthday-bollywood-vijay-raaz-pop-culture-films\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vijay Raaz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) gives us a clue: Shayari is the OG language of male melancholia. It entails the expression of intense emotions, often about loneliness transmitted orally or scriptorially to an audience or readership of other men. And in the film, it is the male phone sex operator masquerading as a woman who lends an ear to his execrable poetry. Just like how in shayari, the gender of the lover and the beloved is ambiguous, in this case, the blanket of technology allows for a similar queering: It\u2019s as though men can only open up to each other if one of them \u201cperforms\u201d femininity. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Karam\u2019s womanly voice becomes a mediator, a site of male fantasies about intimacy and homosociality; the telephone line crackles with the romance of male confidence. Unwittingly, callers begin to fall in love and glimpse an end to their loneliness (an attempted suicide indicates the strength of this passion).<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">In <em>Dream Girl<\/em>, Karam\u2019s womanly voice becomes a mediator, a site of male fantasies about intimacy and homosociality.<\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This yearning for an attentive listener is part of the quest for alleviating loneliness, a desire for being not just seen but paid attention to. Historically, men have unburdened and women have listened. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, emotional availability \u2013 coded as feminine \u2013 are at a premium, attainable only by running up huge bills on the phone to a shady call centre. The commodification of care and companionship is hardly a new phenomenon. In the era of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/why-has-metoo-scared-every-man\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#MeToo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in which a term like \u201ctoxic masculinity\u201d dominates interpersonal dynamics and an acknowledgement of women\u2019s unwaged labour is becoming mainstream, men are increasingly expected to \u201cshare the load\u201d. Unintentionally or not, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> captures this expectation, not least by casting an actor like Khurrana who has made a career out of playing a Bollywood hero comfortable with mocking traditional manhood.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, Karam actually feels shame because of the nature of his job, but he too is transformed by it, eventually\u00a0recognising its importance in the lives of his clients. In the climax, he laments the loss of social bonds and emphasises the role of communication in maintaining these. The speech feels forced, but it drives home a simplistic point that it was unmet emotional needs that drove people to seek out his service. It wasn&#8217;t about getting off, it was about being gotten. In the absence of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/donald-trump-locker-room-talk-feminism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dirty talk<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the film frames heart-to-hearts as what the callers crave, something patriarchal culture predominantly denies male relationships.\u00a0Both Karam\u2019s observations about his father and his climactic declamation about loneliness suggest an acknowledgement of the value of affective labour.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many ways then, the definition of masculinity in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feels like an antidote to the brashness of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kabir Singh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even though it is riddled with problems and is far from being feminist, it is a rare \u201cmen-centric\u201d film that tries to confront some of the vexations about modern-day masculinity. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is really a film that briefly (and perhaps not too well) imagines men who listen, who empathise with vulnerability, and who must learn to relate to each other in ways that have long been socially assigned to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/how-can-we-be-worse-than-pakistan-in-womens-safety\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 In that sense, another interpretation of the \u201cdream\u201d in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dream Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that the film is really about imagining a male universe and what men might sound like if they learn to speak at a different pitch.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In many ways, Dream Girl feels like an antidote to the brashness of Kabir Singh.
