Angry Indian Goddesses

It's something that you don't usually get to see from indian cinema, hitting the progressive topics and questioning the society's hypocritical attitudes towards woman. Its a worthwhile film.

As a foreigner, coming from a country with a very high degree of gender equality, I am not native to the realities portrayed in this film, nor have I watched many Bollywood movies. Yet it is my opinion that the film in an emotionally moving and very aesthetically pleasing way,through captivating music and great cinematography, raises the important themes of women equality, emancipation and the hardship of discrimination in today's India. From the ease of the intimate dialogue among the varied women, the viewers are allowed to experience the challenges first hand, in the voice of the characters themselves. The viewer is included, almost as if he is sitting there beside them as they laugh, quarrel, debate, cry and grief ...

I loved this movie and I still listen to the songs: the "Dil dola re"is very catchy and energetic, while the "Zindagi" ("life") is profound in all its beauty and tenderness (look them up at Youtube). If you're new to Bollywood movies this seems like a good place to start, while at the same time you are exposed to a very important theme in contemporary Indian society.

Angry Indian goddesses may be good movie for world cinema but is an important movie for Indian cinema. Though there have been movies showing difficulties faced by females in Indian society none has been so comprehensive.

Almost every other dialogue quips the hypocrisy of Indian mindset. They have been allowed to fly,but, that like a kite with everybody actively controlling their limits. With such different characters, common thread joining them all is anguish against the society venerating and denigrating females at the same time.

Nalin has given another brilliant piece of cinema with strong female characters like the ones we worship. Cinematography is enchanting using the right balance of light and dark.

Only God knows what censor board has been trying to censor when everything is so true...

Loved this movie.

It was so apt and to the point. The problems most of the women face irrespective of their family backgrounds, professions and the perk that they get. The way they are treated and judged by others. The difficulty to get the acceptance of who they are and always trying to prove themselves.

The movie was perfect. Great scripting; portraying the actual issues. Amazing actors. Amazing music.

Ladies you need to watch this movie. I'm sure you'd be able to connect at least at one point. And guys you should too. It'll give you an insight of the struggle that the women around you go through.

I too am angry. So angry. The way these women express their love towards each other is beautiful, and the anger and unhappiness they express towards their lives and their possibilities to be free in every way is heartbreaking.

We, women all over the world, know this anger and feel that love. It has to be a change coming.

I was very moved by the entire story.
