Lipstick Under My Burkha Review

Unabashed and unapologetic. This movie has a story that won't necessarily give you a happy ending, but it will show you the reality of being a woman in orthodox India. It is a story of four women from different age groups who share the same agony, their hopes and dreams being crushed by a patriarchal and orthodox community. The movie has a talented cast led by the four amazing women. Ratna Pathak Shah was as always on her top game and so was Konkona Sen Sharma. Aahana Kumra and Plabita Borthakur were excellent as well. This isn't your regular masala movie, it might not even make you happy at the end, but it will definitely fill you with emotions as you connect with the main characters. It is true to what it is and doesn't shy away from showing things that are indeed prevalent till now. There were some dialogues and scenes removed which was irritating but it still made for a good movie. The movie doesn't preach you, it is a simple and honest tale and is still entertaining without losing it's relevance to our society. It definitely deserves to be watched.
