The major criticism of the movie was that it wasn't relatable to the "Indian audience." However, the very lack of relatability actually highlights the deep-rooted patriarchy in our society. We've been conditioned to expect women to always "behave." As a society, we are so patriarchal that we immediately label it “non-sanskaari” when we see women enjoying themselves, being independent, or even making mistakes. Those who argue that such movies reduce feminism to women drinking, smoking, and partying are missing the point. It’s not about what’s right or wrong for your health; it’s about the double standard-when a man does that, it’s okay, but when a woman does, she’s judged. All in all, I enjoyed the movie ❤
True, I had no idea indeed! Could not go beyond a few minutes. From the reviews, it's a tacky, pretentious movie. Sad, the interviewer is just pandering to this lady's ego as if she were Satyajit Ray. Is it the famous, sold-out bollywood PR at work for a few bucks?
U r not unique. They make stupid movies, but they NEED to project they are overcoming some great challenge and threats 😂. And rest of us are left scratching our skulls, as to what epic battle is being fought!
Can we start acknowledging that BJP is the source of all this moral policing and internet trolling that we experience today. There was definitely not so much hate before!
Love love love rhea kapoor ❤ she resonates with today's women more than most of the actresses. She is my desi nora ephron. I hope she makes more stories. ❤❤
To be honest .. I'm all for women empowerment and being a woman myself I would always cheer for women needs and desires but our filmmakers need to understand showing women boozing,smoking and women sleeping around with random people is not what empowerment is. Why do we have to portray modernism in such a way .. girls watching it could be second guessing - oh wait ..I'm not drinking and smoking so am I not modern by society standards? Modernism should be from the midlndset.. in Lust stories we have seen a similar concept in Kiara advani portraying a character like that and it showed women desires in the right way. I don't know who is threatening this woman but all I know is that she doesn't make women empowerment films that she claims.
no one says boozing, smoking ans sleeping around is cool. movies show the world as it is. Men and women smoke and drink. it's not their whole personality.
Men in the movies have been smoking, drinking and sleeping around with other people for the longest time but that never became a concern. Today, yes women are drinking boozing and have partners of their choice. That's not modernism, that's reality and hence its in movies. These choices are for people to make for themselves. Moral policing only comes into picture as soon as its women doing something which the society doesn't accept. Women empowerment starts and at ends at "just let women be, whatever they want to be".
