<\/p>After all the controversies \u201cLipstick under my Burkha\u201d directed by\u00a0Alankrita Shrivastava<\/a>\u00a0 made it\u2019s way to the big screen.\n

The movie is about the secret lives of four woman living in a\u00a0patriarchal society and seeking freedom.<\/p>\n

The movie depicts a Muslim girl struggling with cultural Identity and her desire to become a Pop Singer. A Beautician seeking to escape her small town out of claustrophobia. A oppressed housewife who is also a enterprising saleswoman. And a 55 years old widow who rediscovers her sexuality.<\/p>\n

Looking at the synopsis one can easily understand that the movie is all about woman and their struggles.<\/p>\n

Here are few reasons why we need more woman centered movies.<\/p>\n

1- The grass is always greener on the other side. A problem can not be solved without it being understood thoroughly.<\/p>\n

2- Indians are not very comfortable with discussing these subjects. These movies will get people talking on these topics.<\/p>\n

3- It will help in giving speed to the struggle for woman empowerment and giving equal rights to women.<\/p>\n

4- Crime against women is committed every three minutes in India. 65% of men believe that woman should tolerate violence in order to keep their family together.<\/p>\n

5-Religious intolerance. Whether it\u2019s condition of widows in India or the oppressed Muslim women. These issues are ignored just because of it\u2019s religious connection.<\/p>\n
