I remember one far off relative advising me on the day of my marriage "Always be like a goddess. Laxmi when u r treated well and Kali when people ill treat u." I had laughed off at her advise. But I think every woman has traces of Kali in her.
Women have been subject to a hell lot of cruelty and without the right law, order and reforms, the cruelty would have kept growing. Our society is so much interwoven with Patriarchy that the more we try to solve the issues, the more issues come to light.
Child marriage, molestation, discriminating widows, marriage without consent, sex without consent, rape, treating women as objects of delight, sati, domestic violence, not accepting a 'no'... there are so many problems... some are solved, but we still have a long way to go.
Enjoyed watching Bulbbul on netflix. We need more movies like Bulbbul and the message need to be loud and clear that harassing a woman in any way shall not be accepted and any kind of violence shall be met with the wrath of the woman, either in the form of Kali maa or chudail.
The movie is scary, nerve wrecking, feministic, romantic and I must say a piece of art. I give it a 4 out of 5.
