Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains

In telling the truth, the behavior of the four heroines is more or less contrary to ethics and morals. The director does not deal with the general environment enough, resulting in conflicts and oppression that are too flat. The audience is easily biased by the behavior of the four protagonists and feels the ending It's all self-inflicted. But in fact, it is just a manifestation of resistance to oppression. If they do not step on the line, then they will never have a legitimate opportunity to do what they want to do. Just like moths fighting the fire, knowing that they will go to destruction, they are still struggling to face the light and warmth. It is a pity that due to the lack of directing popularity, a film that advertises feminist rights eventually becomes a product of pseudo-feminism. As a banned film, it does not have the core of the banned film. But this courage to fight is still commendable.

    The lipstick under the burqa, women’s desires and dreams suppressed by abnormal society, if there is anything bad in India, it is to be born as a woman in India. The theme and scale of the film are good, but it’s a pity that the filming is too boring. The four women's pursuit of dreams also ended in tragedy. Although this is reality, I hope to find another answer in the film.

    The overall feeling is slightly indifferent, not as good as "Hot", and the score of 8 is a bit high. IMDB6.9, which is much more reasonable.

  • Leela: You know what our problem is? We dream too much.

  • Rehana: There's no end to rules in a girls life. Don't sing, don't dance, you'll shame us. Don't walk like that, people will stare. Keep your eyes down, what will people say? Don't breathe, your heaving chest will attract attention! Don't wear lipstick, you'll have an affair! Don't wear jeans, you'll create a scandal! I want to ask the authorities, what exactly will happen? Why does our freedom scare you so?
