Angry
Indian Godesses is one of the finest movies made in India about women issues.
It does not pick a single issue, but discusses most of the issues being faced
by Indian Women, be it discrimination, eve-teasing, gay rights, rape or the
apathy of Indian police towards women. The movie starts with a few school and
college friends coming together for a friend’s wedding. The first half has many
light moments with the women enjoying their time together after so many years.
The movie successfully brings out the issues being faced by women with the help
of the dialogues and also shows us how women change from their adolescent selves
when they grow up to be mothers or career women or a housewife. The second half
is more serious and has been presented very well. The movie has the right mix
of seriousness and light moments in quick succession which does let the movie
get too heavy on the audience. The dialogues of the movie are superb and
this is what makes the movie both gripping and enjoyable. Kudos to the writer,
Archala Qureishi, for writing such dialogues which leave a lasting impact on
you.
The movie stars Sandhya Mridul, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Sarah-Jane Dias, Anushka Manchanda, Amrit Maghera, Rajshree Deshpande and Pavleeb Gujral in leading roles. All the actors have given a spectacular and very convincing performance and it is difficult to pick out who is the best among them. This is the only movie released recently with all main characters being ladies. Not a single male character has a central role. This is one of the highlights of the movie.
The movie has been directed by Pan Nalin who has previously directed award winning movies like Samsara. The director has done a fabulous job with this movie. This movie makes you think as much as it entertains you. This makes the movie very watchable. The scenes where the women are discussing issues remain with you even after the movie. You can't help but think how we treat women in India.
This is one movie which every sensible Indian should watch as it is a movie about women issues which does not bore you. Please go ahead and watch this as it is very difficult to find such movies being made in India and by an Indian director. I want more such movies to be made in India as it is very fresh in its approach to storytelling.
