Very recently I saw 2 movies both had such similar idea of womenhood
Mr Perfect and ZNMD..
For people who have seen both the movies can hopefully relate to what my thoughts are..
But for those who haven’t, both movies the Hero is the independent modern and a very broad minded gen Y guy..
The girl…also independent, pursuing her dreams, and lives for what she likes…
But when she meets this guy of her dreams….She forgets herself, she crushes her existing dreams….and recreates new dreams which are same as her hero’s..
I am amazed at the level a girl has to forget herself …
I mean from the time a girl gets married her life revolves around her better half.
Movie shows that a girl has imbibed herself with belief that once married she needs to sacrifice everything…
Why such a thing to be shown in movies…well it makes good masala for the movie..
But just give it a thought it’s so natural for a girl to think this way post marriage…
The girl has lived all her life independently, like a princess as her dad would always call her and treat her... :)
And suddenly life has taken a turn …I won’t say how the turn is…
But would like everyone to ponder over this…and please post comments to understand womenhood better :)
She will be treated as a queen in the new house :)
ReplyDeletenice thought, but I think it depends on both individuals who marry each other , to live the way they want to live.. thinking varies from person to person.....
ReplyDeleteIts so strange, in this day and age. I guess that's what makes for 'a masala movie'. People seem to forget women actually do have independent thoughts pre AND post marriage.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Sushmita!
@ rohit: very apt :) hope everyone believes the same
ReplyDelete@ ram: u r right ram... but just want the society to change ..as its high time..and c some new modern thoughts in movies...also its not only the individual who r gettg married dnt forget ur marrying into a family...who hav moulded the very individual...
@ kshitija: yep its all abt masala..lets hope 4 a better change
