It’s directed beautifully, they subtly show feminism without exclusively bad mouthing men, and without hesitating they show the issue of how girls are viewed in India. I can safely say that the level of misogyny is in a lot of Asian countries, households and community, it really hits close to home.
They even mentioned the reality of underage marriage and why it’s a problem.
Believe me, it’s an empowering movie and whoever stands with women’s rights will understand what I mean.
since the movie wasn’t mentioned i took the liberty of looking for it! It looks amazing and is the second highest-grossing film at the worldwide box office (x)
It’s called Dangal and you can watch the trailer here
I have watched it and another tidbit is that it is actually based on a true story! Geeta and Babita Phogat won medals for their country in the Commonwealth Games and they come from a state in India (Haryana) that is generally known to be not that progressive.
This is Geeta:
This is Babita
and this is their father, Mahavir Singh Phogat,
The story is inspiring, amazing and every single one of you should watch it by hook or by crook.
