Roshni Mangal

My opinion may differ from the popular ones, but this is how I see it: The movie is a portrayal of how the patriarchal culture is passed on from one generation to another, BUT is breaking out from marriage ties the only available solution? That too with no efforts made towards bringing about a change? Yes it is a patriarchal society but women as mothers / wives / daughters are the ones incharge of changing it. The movie does not show any effort towards bringing about any change. We hardly get to see the woman speak for herself or make a point. Had the woman showed great courage and patience in bringing about the changes she desired, I would have called it a great movie. I expected some courage and speaking up for oneself in the scene that followed about table manners being followed in a hotel but not at home, but instead she gave up too quickly with a sorry. The woman is shown chocking up on her emotions and finally explodes. Is this what we want our women to be doing? In the climax the woman shouts at her brother asking him if he could not pick up his own glass of water. But wouldn't it have been more apt to have shown some constructive anger towards her husband and father in law, instead of a very inhumane act of serving them drain water Final outcome: the woman gave up without any effort, the man simply remarried and continued with his thoughtless insensitive ways. What message are we trying to deliver here? Where are we getting at?
