before I was going to watch that movie. I saw some Facebook posts. it says the movie is spreading inappropriate messages like the world doesn't need men. it was true, there was a scene where one woman character was talking to the lost lady.
But when we see the whole movie we can easily understand that the scene was not forced and it perfectly blends with the character`s situation. The movie was an outstanding experience. this is the movie that is probably everyone's cup of tea. it is light-hearted and easy to watch. we get the perfect emotional connection with the characters throughout the movie and it has a satisfying and heartwarming ending. we will be melted by the song and the background score. the curiosity behind the unfamiliar lifestyle and situations gives us a fresh watch. the beauty of the village is perfectly captured.
we can see 3 different male characters in the main role and 3 different women characters also. Jaya's husband represents the extremely evil men in our society, they think they can get away with anything, and they don't have any moral values. but on the other side, Deepak is a pure soul. he believes in social norms and human values, and he is too innocent for the world, men like this are in our society but women usually don't like them. the character played by the police officer was grey-shaded. they do the corrupted things for their living, but men like them can also understand the seriousness of the situation and act upon it perfectly.
when it comes to women characters. Phool Kumari is raised in an orthodox family in an extremely conventional atmosphere She doesn't know the real world, the only thing she knows about is how to cook and how to make her husband happy. the encounter with Manju Mai gives her some certain revelations about life. manju mai is a bold independent woman who suffers from her toxic husband. she has more life experience. She lives on her own and everyone respects her. The other one is a revolutionary character. who took a bold decision to ignore all the norms and act upon her will. She has to face many obstacles in her journey. because there is no one to help her and she has to do it by herself.
the other women characters represent our parents, who are raised in the conventional belief system and blindly believe everything they have been taught. but they are also very loveable.
we can see this movie is not anti-masculine, and it has different aspects of male characters. the dialogue told by Manju Mai is personal only because she is making her own living and hates her husband for what he does. from her point of view, it is right. women actually don't need men, rather than the emotionally way. from decades to decades men ruled the world, and were forced to believe women are dependent upon men it is the only way of their survival. but time changed the situation changed women gained their consciousness and started fighting against patriarchal norms. but a statement like women don't need men at all is wrong. many feminists think it is right . and they are starting to spread hate against men. clearly, this is not that kind of movie.
this movie is not just fiction, it is a representation of things that happening in India. women like these and marriages like these exist even now. the movie showed the harsh reality of women in India through comedy drama. the title `Lost Ladies` itself has an in-depth meaning.
