It’s true that the issue of female infanticide has decreased, however it does still exist. In the Asian culture there are many who still do prefer to have a boy over a girl, yes they aren’t as vocal about it but I have seen it myself, especially the older generations hoping that when someone gets pregnant they have a boy.
In this movie jayesh’s father is a village head, and all he is thinking about is jayesh having a son so that their family can continue to be the head of the village for more generations, because the village isnt going to accept a female village head, even today the heads of villages are male.
So jayesh has a lot of pressure on him that the other men in the village do not have, plus this movie seems to touch upon other issues of toxic masculinity, such as the girl at the start of the trailer saying some men in the village get drunk and harass the women and she requests that a ban be put on alcohol, but the village head completely disregards her and says the issue is the women using scented soap, this still happens today.
The movie seems so cute, jayesh, his wife and daughter seem to be such adorable characters, it’s refreshing to see a movie like this, we are mostly seeing high budget action entertainers, so it’s nice to see a smaller budget light entertainer that touches upon an important social issue.Everyone seems to have acted very well, shalini looks promising the girl who plays their daughter is so good! And wow ranveer, is there any role he can’t do? The most versatile actor! Even for this role his whole look, body language and voice has changed, this is the same guy who played bajirao, khilji and kapil dev, amazing!
Why are you telling the whole story of the movie to everyone? You are doing wrong. At least add SPOILERS in your post.
