Women who experienced sexual abuse by her close person, will completely understand and feel the same feeling as of Veera. I don't know if the director understood it and focused on it or not, but this completely resonates with me who also has a similar experience. She goes insane but with a reason, feel her home at a completely strange place, this is apparently hard to understand for her parents. They just watch. I'm saying, a person who doesn't have that experience, would not understand. It's actually very right and very correct dialogue by Veera in the movie, "It's so mixed! It's so confusing!"
Exactly, exactly...
That confusion about our world, is a confusion that never has an answer.
And with that feeling, women with such an experience live with it, fighting herself alone, until life gives her a momentum to reveal all emotions out.
But, still, that confusion has no answer.
It's just something that we some women had to experience it fiercely to its heart of darkness. The feeling is experienced to its very extreme, as if you are the one who must establish an answer for that by yourself.
And ironically enough, that's why she feels safe in an odd place, and with a seemingly odd person, whom you never imagined of building a bond with.
Because the home must be the safest place in this world, but when it's upside down, it's too much a hard pill to digest, so actually feel safer in a total stranger's bad behavior, it does not feel scary, it doesn't really matter.
Victims of sexual abuse, or child abuse, they actually have a very hard time in revealing that. And I think it's because of the confusion of our world itself which is not fully comprehendable, at the end of the day.
The mindset of predators.
Who are mostly at the same time hiding it, turning the blame to the victimized woman.
"I'm stupid! I'm bad! And I'll remain stupid!"
Yes, stop being a nice girl, that's the first thing we need.
As a non-Indian, I really liked its uniqueness and acting.
And the music in it, the lyrics are something divine.
I don't know if it sounds to Indians as the same old pattern,
but maybe it's because I read the subtitles, it comes more as subtle and deep, than as a cliche.
"Admire the diamonds that bare the hammer, the deceitful cannot hide their flaws. Don't display your diamonds in front of others, keep them close to your heart, and go your way"
That's what I want to say to all we hard-core living women (and also men who fight for the justice) in this troubled world.
