This is not the first time the CBFC has been seen as overstepping its mandate or been labeled draconian by the Indian press. Last August, the Supreme Court of India issued an order saying that the job of the CBFC is not to censor, only to certify what age group can watch a given movie. The certification process is under review.


Leela (Aahana) is a free-spirited woman who feels suffocated in the small town of Bhopal and uses her sexuality to manipulate the men in her life. Rihanna (Plabita) is a young college girl who idolises Miley Cyrus and wants to follow her fashion style. She has to hide her desires of a becoming a singer under a burkha, thanks to her orthodox parents.


I think the movie was saying if you have to continue to live under social restrictions (image of an aunt, obedient housewife or daughter, monogamous young girl) you better do it morally, without cheating anyone, otherwise you would be exposed one day. You would be left thoroughly embarrassed. However, if you really want to give expressions to your desires, then have the guts to come out of these restrictions and live the life you dream for yourselves. However, now that you have been shamed publicly and all your Burkhas have been done away with, consider it a blessing in disguise, and choose to follow your passions now. (Khidki ki salaakhein ab Rosie ko rok nahi sakti, Rosie ne baal sawaarein, aansu ponche aur chaukath ke bahar kood padi. Pinjre mein band sapno ki chabi aakhir Rosie ke dil ke andar hi thi.)


Alankrita treats the subject with humor and that makes the movie more accessible. She interprets Burkha and lipstick in various ways. At some areas it is a shield and at some points it is an obstacle. The film questions the male dominancy and the way this movie culminates to a situation where four women are becoming a victim of a prejudiced society is quite disturbing. Each character and their dream is a question mark in front of the audience. Cinematographer Akshay Singh captures the emotions of the characters without making any of it look vulgar on screen. Cuts make the narrative more engaging. The unconventional music suits the story telling.
