Critical Reviews!

  Lipstick Under My Burkha           The fact I am sitting right now and writing this review feels late. There are already tons of reviews and interviews in the market. Yet, I feel like I need to say something. Lipstick Under My Burkha was made in 2016. It has received international recognition. Played in New York, London, and Tokyo film ceremonies, India didn't give this movie its due credit. The film certification board of India banned it in 2017 claiming that this was too lady-oriented . How can you classify something as lady-oriented? However, the certification board did just that and has now earned itself a new name- Censor Board.            There are a few movies and series that bring out the struggles of a woman but the rarest of them all are on-the-ground realities. Four More Shots Please was feministic but it didn't feel real. It was a fairy tale show. The God Of Small Things a book by Arundhati Roy was a heartwarming book.

 Four More Shots Please!           It is crazy! This show is everything outside the box.

These girls- Umang, Damini, Anjana, and Siddi live their life on their terms.  Four unapologetically flawed women live, love, blunder, and discover what really makes them tick through friendship and tequila in millennial Mumbai.           When I first started this show, I didn't really enjoy it.

There is something about it that isn't completely accepted yet. It was a sort of fantasy. I almost abandoned it. But something made me stick to it.            This show is the definition of feminism. Umang is a lesbian. She left her family because

  The God of Small Things           Trauma isn't always caused by a big distressing event. Sometimes it caused due to a series of small overwhelming amounts of stress due to certain events and terrible accidents. It tends to leave a person unhinged in a way society doesn't understand. The book The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy explores the effect of certain incidents on various characters of the story. Each event that happens to us shapes us. We are the result of things that have happened to us. Draupadi strangely angry only with the men that won her, not the ones that staked her has sworn that she will never tie up her hair until it is washed in Dushasana's blood.           The God of Small Things is a story of fraternal twins with a siamese soul- Rachel and Estha. They are ordinary but their life was not ordinary. Their Ammu married to get away from the family. However, her husband turned out to be an alcoholic and became violent. He even tried to use his wife a
