Achara notices everything. Somethings even I missed but then she said it. Like "Bhavra bna Diya sabko" & Achara says "everyone looking for flowers" I didn't think that. And when the network kept breaking she says "go to the temple". It's amazing how she notices these subtle things.
@@aglimpseofblaze True, I also missed a lot of things she noticed. She truly is invested in the movie and not watching it just for the sake of making a "reaction video", thats great about her, also she got a great attention to detail.
PHOOL (flower) PUSHPA (flower) Deepak's village: SOORAJMUKHI (A flower) The bus Deepak takes to his village: PUSHPA TRAVELS (Flower) Flower: A symbol of tenderness, innocence or purity. This symbol of innocence and purity is spread throughout the village life in the film. Phool's husband: DEEPAK (lamp/ a source of light) Pushpa's husband: PRADEEP (lamp/ a source of light) A lamp can either guide you through darkness or it can burn you. Deepak is a guiding force, a ray of hope for both Phool and Pushpa in their darkest times. While Pradeep burnt his ex-wife to death. (One lamp showed the way, the other burnt down a life) Pushpa's real name: JAYA (victorious) Jaya is a rebel at heart. But, because of the social and gender expectations, she is forced to be soft, and tender like a flower ( PUSHPA). Jaya especially mentions the dish made of lotus stems. She consumes a dish made of flowers ( Kamal Kakdi). She symbolically consumes her tenderness her softness, and the flowery side of her character. She rebels against the social norms and expectations such as taking her husband's name and running away from her marriage to pursue her education. She strives to be VICTORIOUS. Name of the police officer: SHYAM MANOHAR SHYAM: Dark, Black ( one name of Lord Krishna) MANOHAR: Lovable, one who wins our heart (another name of Lord Krishna) In the first part of the movie Shyam Manohar is shown as corrupt, and a greedy officer. Showing the dark side of his character. Thus, he is SHYAM. In the second half, Shyam Manohar wins our hearts by taking the right step by saving Jaya from her husband. Thus, he becomes MANOHAR. This shows the dual nature of power and judiciary. It can be dark and mischievous but it can also be very beautiful. These are some interesting things I observed after watching the film. This is a purely subjective observation and can vary from person to person. 🌼
@randomaccount672 bruh there's a difference between actor nd character! Plz learn that! Its ok for male actors above 50 to play 20-30year old but a 16year girl old can't play a 18+year old character? Plz observe i have said 'deepak and phool' nd not 'sparsh nd nitanshi'
That's Indian cinema, I'd recommend you watch more arranged marriage movies , I'm sure you'll like it Here are some recommendations (Vivah) is a classic love story, (Rab ne bana di jodi) this is a romantic comedy wholesome and (Lunchbox) not really a arranged marriage but the penmanship is lovely. Last but not least (My big fat bride)
Both of them know. Jaby guessed it right and / still wanted Achara's approval. She confirmed it. ❤❤ I just love watching all the Koay family absorbing our culture ❤ it's like India is now a big part of their lives. One can joke that Jaby mistakenly didn't get born in India 😂.. 1. He's street smart / knows his way / can look after himself and his group. 2. Has a big heart 3. Is very fun loving 4. Has a strong sense of empathy for everyone. . Basically, he's multifaceted (has depth) about philosophies & life... and he's thorough about his ideas.. etc.. I just love him.. and love watching reviews and laughing with all of them. I'm glad this channel exists. ❤❤.
Couldn't hold my tears when Phool goodbye's Manju mai and when she finally ate the sweet after hearing about phool safe return to her home..indeed a masterpiece 💝🥹
Ravi Kishen - GENIUS!! takes mad skills to talk -- much less act -- with a mouth full of paan... and his redemption at the end....Oscar worthy performance Kudos to Aamir for realizing Ravi was clearly better for the part than he would have been
Guys, the picture the sister-in-law kept under her pillow was of her own husband, not another man. She had taken in Jaya's opinion on being able to speak her husband's name, which she said in that moment. This movie is even more wholesome than you think lol
Hahah, kidney touching is something we say sarcastically, cos it’s heart touching movie if it’s a good one but if it’s not then eeehh, it’s kidney touching 😅
Till today, marriage is viewed as a destination for so many young girls. They are being raised for marriage not life. Hope this movie will help change some minds
True, so I'm from MP and my mom is a govt. school teacher in a village, here it's pretty common for girls to get married as soon as they turn 18 and sometimes not even 18, a lot of them leave their school after 8th or 10th class.
23:56 exactly Achara. Thats what it was about. They were only taught how to cook because of their orthodox mentality which is still very much prevalent in India that women should know cooking , that's their only job , doesn't matter if she knows anything else. Phool learnt only that but jaya also learned what she wanted to learn.
Everyone talked about every character except Police Officer. He is not bad cop as it shown in initial stages of the film. This character is played by (I think) Ravi Kishan. He is super star in Bhojpuri Cinema and He did a neat job as cop with good heart but a corrupt to an extent.
i am Maharashtrin and we have culture in Maharashtra newly married couples They recite each other's name in the form of poetry and the whole village gathers to hear it. (We call it ukhane)
Jaby, I think the fact that dude, Deepak Kumar, wasn't doing a lot of things he could have done probably has to do with his ability. Let me explain, he is from a small village, isn't super rich and doesn't know anyone from outside of his village. In his mind, he did everything he could have to find her. It all ties back to the socioeconomic status of a dude from a small village in India. Not trying to invalidate what you said though because it makes sense. Cheers. I always enjoy your content.
I agree!!! He tried his best by going to the police for help. He could have tried contacting her mayka but he probably doesn’t want to worry them if she is not there, and he knows they would have contacted him if she was there. Phool here is the one that could have done more. She could have gone to the police, anyways the police there was in touch with the police where he filed her as missing so they would have found her. But she got scared to go there, and didn’t want to go back home due to what they will think. She should have realized it’s quite hard for him to find her if she was at a random station. But then again she thought she got off the train with him and that it was him that woke her up to leave that night, and then disappeared somewhere.
@@sensitiveresoucesI don’t know about you, but I have been in 2001, it’s wasn’t this backward, may be in UP Bihar it was this backward, but overall it wasn’t so backward. Even before 2000 never seen ghunghat being such a big deal.
For all you Gen Z folks, India in 2001 which this movie takes place in, was completely different from the India you know today. So if things and customs look alien to you that is why.
Dude, I didn’t realise when I watched the movie first that it was set in 2001 and I am pretty sure most of these customs are still very much prevalent in the rural areas
You fools do realise, UP and Bihar are just 2 states of India. There are dozens of other states and they may not have this custom at all and would be totally perplexed if they see women of their family in Veil for more than 10 mins. Wedding and ceremonies are exceptions and in general, I have not seen Hindu women in constant veil in my home state Gujarat.
From cooking your favorite food after marriage to having sisterhood in the in laws place -- adapting others house as your own home-- this movie has touched so many minute details which may be not feminist propoganda but taken for granted truth-- truly kidney touching -- hats off to Kiran Rao
The guy who played the Cop is actually a legendary actor who isn't appreciated enough in Indian Cinema but he is a great actor and you've seen him in many movies including Tanu Weds Manu
I regret not watching this movie in box office. This movie is really really good and represent the true Indian emotions and it's very rare nowadays to see 90's pure love ❤❤. I think our mothers are the last batch of Pure othentic Indian mothers😂.
Achara was right ,The idea does show the plight of Indian women in rural India. A friend of mine said it still goes on across a lot of villages especially in certain states and locale. The writer / director wanted to present this sensitive rural topic in a more palatable way.
Achara is a very intelligent woman. Quick to grasp and understands another culture and language. She got the sunflower thing, but also other things like registering the village and station names. She quickly figured that she would have been on the station. It's easy for Indians to figure it but for someone who is not used to the names, I can tell she really pays attention to detail. If I were watching a movie in a language I didn't know, i don't think I'd have been that attentive.
This Movie create such a heartwarming bonding with all the plots..whether it's the samosa guy, Chotu, Abdul, poonam, Manju mai..truly a generational masterpiece 💝✨
They do not call their husband by their name because it is considered to be disrespectful and against the honour of the husband. Like you do not call a king/your master by his name right?? "Pati" means husband...but it also means "owner" or "master". This was the concept in rural India back in those days.
We're from city but it was like that in 2003 when my mom married and the first thing she did was calling my father by his name with no "ji" lol and the entire family went against her but she never backed down did a job shifted to another city with me and my dad and now everyone is so open minded in my dadi's family to the point you'll think We're Americans lol
Please don't say tradition of "Rural India" as it's mostly north India Belt which has these weird tradition. Our Northeast region has no tradition such as gungat or you can't call your husband's name etc...
@@i.kaushik_san My people "Assamese" as well as where I have been brought up "Arunachal Pradesh" never in my life in our society we had gungat tradition or these weird Northern belt culture. I know my seven sisters State so don't preach.
Yeah..even in my village in Bihar we don’t have it..Women just put their pallu on heads that too when elder male members of family are present otherwise they don’t..But,they might be having in certain villages.
Amir Khan, Kiran Rao...these geniuses never fail to deliver true cinema. This movie has become one of my most favorite movies. Love the acting of everybody...so simple but such a humorous and heart melting film.❤
This movie is being picturized on a story written by a Bengali story writer namely Biplab Goswami who is also a script writer for many Bollywood movies.
The Cop real life name is Ravi Kishan Shukla, popularly known as Ravi Kishan, is an Indian actor, politician, film producer and television personality. He currently serves as Member of parliament, Lok Sabha from Gorakhpur. His film works are predominantly in Bhojpuri and Hindi cinema, as well as Telugu cinema
22:25 Same for me the old lady is no.1 for me , then the cop (ravi kishan - you should watch mamla legal hai from Netflix) and then jaya phool deepak etc....
The veil system started 7-8 centuries back when Islamic rulers would take away any good-looking girl [age >= 8]. Thus, women were asked to keep veil, stopped from going out and also at times married early. It still continues in rural India but most people don't know how it started.
Wrong. Veil was present in Maurya Dynasty. Not everyone was a Tribal. Decolonisation for You Guys is equal to Aadivasi Culture. P.S. It was started by Upper Caste Women because they had sense of honour.
@@shantanuranjan5462 Stop telling yourself these half baked lies. Stop being creative in creating false histories. Did other women had no sense of honour? Why lower caste women are also sheilding veil? If they were to replicate whatever upper caste was doing, then they should have replicated other things too like riding horses etc... Even during older times not all upper caste were rich.
@@redtrends5198 not all but most upper cast was rich due to distribution of high paying jobs. And people do copy things from rich when they can. Not all can afford buying and raising horse can they? So only practices which people thought were copyable and respectdul trickled down below. Stop villifying everything. This is commonly seen fact. Example playing cricket in India due to urge of copying britishers. Preference of fair skin etc. People had, do and will copy things they see from affluent
Couple scenes that i wish were included were the one where Pushpa(jaya) praises the art skills of the sister in law and the cooking of the mother in law. And also how the mother in law mentions that when Phool comes back, she wishes that she would come as a friend to sister in law. That's one of the best scenes in the entire movie
So glad i found your channel jaby! You really do make my day i love your reaction and the fact that with each reaction youre growing and learning more and more about our culture makes me happy lots of love to you jaby and achara and offcourse all of your friends!!
The fact that "not taking ur husbands name" doesn't make sense as a rule is the whole point. That there have been so many arbitrary rules imposed on women, in the name of respecting the patriarch. The rule makes no sense, and that is explored in the movie very subtly. Its not suppose to make snese, because yes, even if that rule existed and still exists in some remote areas, at the end of the end, its just another arbotrary rule.
Exactly and kudos to the makers who subtly put these into the movie and actually hit the right spot. Wish it would have opened the eyes and minds of people who still follow such rules with no sense and reflect upon it, question and realise.
I really liked this movie, witnessed a similar situation. One of my maternal aunt got lost sometimes around 2014, when she was visiting a hospital in our city. She walked behind her husband and got lost in the crowd while following him, she was very scared, while crying moved from the place. Uncle couldn't find her for long time when he realised her absence, so decided to go back to the village. She was very scared and wasn't able to explain or say anything. Without money, without mobile, illiterate and aged woman(she was a grandma already). A man from our region found her but was not aware how to contact the family and was not aware about her village also. Somehow he knew someone from my father's village got his contact and we finally took her back. Called the uncle and he got back mid way. We made a lot of fun of them, but really making women so dependable on men that they can't even move by themselves, away from their village is questionable. My aunt used to only follow uncle and uncle was responsible for everything outside, that's why she never learnt how to manage outside. And Yes, this is a feminist movie. This is what feminism actually looks like. Women in india loose their identity as a person completely, after marriage, not in the city but in the villages.
Phool and Jaya were shown as strikingly opposite in the movie through their characteristics, reactions and even the police inspector also said to deepak while arresting jaya, tum Phool ki jagah kaanta le aaye, hum nikaal diye (You brought a thorn instead of a flower, I've removed it.) But one thing which both can commonly feel is FREEDOM which is shown through sunshine Phool (at the Train Gate, while returning) and Jaya(at the Bus Window) This analogy sums up the movie and the message it is serving to the audience that no matter what your background is, ambition is, nature, personality, every women has a Thirst AND Right to her Freedom. A very well Crafted Masterpiece. It'll be a Cult for sure! After all it's AAMIR KAHN PRODUCTIONS.
My family has been residing in the city for three generations now, but even now none of the ladies in our family call their husbands by their name. Not as strictly as shown in the movie… they would name them if paper work and other stuff requires them to. And it’s not like someone strictly forbade them from not taking their husband’s name, it’s just cultural and kind of unthinkable for them to call their husbands by their names. And I think now even if we asked them to, they would find it very uncomfortable
Even in 2024 , my sister is like phool kumari , she can't travel alone and is a "respectable girl". But after watching this movie she finally motivated to go out of state for her job and travel alone , she's going tomorrow I'm Little scared but happy to see her grow and become confident ❤ her journey from phool kumari to jaya is starting ❤
No its because kidney is expensive 🤣😂 people often tell sell kidney for expenses things like i phone. So kidney is more valuable than heart so it means a total sarcasm

It endorses the Indian brand of Feminism, whis is finding your own voice and identity, being self reliant,women supporting other women, all this within the household structure. And to support that you need a supportive family. They showed all this within the cultural boundaries, and it was only questioned when it interfered with the law.

PHOOL (flower)
PUSHPA (flower)
Deepak's village: SOORAJMUKHI (A flower)
The bus Deepak takes to his village: PUSHPA TRAVELS (Flower)
Flower: A symbol of tenderness, innocence or purity. This symbol of innocence and purity is spread throughout the village life in the film.
Phool's husband: DEEPAK (lamp/ a source of light)
Pushpa's husband: PRADEEP (lamp/ a source of light)
A lamp can either guide you through darkness or it can burn you.
Deepak is a guiding force, a ray of hope for both Phool and Pushpa in their darkest times. While Pradeep burnt his ex-wife to death.
(One lamp showed the way, the other burnt down a life)
Pushpa's real name: JAYA (victorious)
Jaya is a rebel at heart. But, because of the social and gender expectations, she is forced to be soft, and tender like a flower ( PUSHPA). Jaya especially mentions the dish made of lotus stems. She consumes a dish made of flowers ( Kamal Kakdi). She symbolically consumes her tenderness her softness, and the flowery side of her character. She rebels against the social norms and expectations such as taking her husband's name and running away from her marriage to pursue her education. She strives to be VICTORIOUS.
Name of the police officer: SHYAM MANOHAR
SHYAM: Dark, Black ( one name of Lord Krishna)
MANOHAR: Lovable, one who wins our heart (another name of Lord Krishna)
In the first part of the movie Shyam Manohar is shown as corrupt, and a greedy officer. Showing the dark side of his character. Thus, he is SHYAM.
In the second half, Shyam Manohar wins our hearts by taking the right step by saving Jaya from her husband. Thus, he becomes MANOHAR.
This shows the dual nature of power and judiciary. It can be dark and mischievous but it can also be very beautiful.
These are some interesting things I observed after watching the film. This is a purely subjective observation and can vary from person to person. 🌼

I regret not watching this movie in box office. This movie is really really good and represent the true Indian emotions and it's very rare nowadays to see 90's pure love ❤❤. I think our mothers are the last batch of Pure othentic Indian mothers😂.
Achara was right ,The idea does show the plight of Indian women in rural India. A friend of mine said it still goes on across a lot of villages especially in certain states and locale. The writer / director wanted to present this sensitive rural topic in a more palatable way.
yesyyes ....Please god make jaby and achara read this comment
Achara is a very intelligent woman. Quick to grasp and understands another culture and language. She got the sunflower thing, but also other things like registering the village and station names. She quickly figured that she would have been on the station. It's easy for Indians to figure it but for someone who is not used to the names, I can tell she really pays attention to detail. If I were watching a movie in a language I didn't know, i don't think I'd have been that attentive.
Ravi Kishan ( the cop) is a regional superstar. 😊
This Movie create such a heartwarming bonding with all the plots..whether it's the samosa guy, Chotu, Abdul, poonam, Manju mai..truly a generational masterpiece 💝✨
This was the most heartwarming movie that I have ever seen. This is the type of cinema that we need.
They do not call their husband by their name because it is considered to be disrespectful and against the honour of the husband. Like you do not call a king/your master by his name right?? "Pati" means husband...but it also means "owner" or "master". This was the concept in rural India back in those days.
We're from city but it was like that in 2003 when my mom married and the first thing she did was calling my father by his name with no "ji" lol and the entire family went against her but she never backed down did a job shifted to another city with me and my dad and now everyone is so open minded in my dadi's family to the point you'll think We're Americans lol
@@productivity23 Calling Guy Older than You "Ji". How Oppressive.
Please don't say tradition of "Rural India" as it's mostly north India Belt which has these weird tradition. Our Northeast region has no tradition such as gungat or you can't call your husband's name etc...

The best scene is when Deepak reaches home with Pushp and his friend starts dancing.
The cross leg dance🤣🤣
@@sushmiiitaaait's a replica of Karisma's "Le Gayi" dance from DTPH 😂😂
Jaby is perfect both cop (Ravi Kishan) and stall owner (Chaya kadam) both are very senior and raw actors....👏👏👏
Hats off to Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao for this sweet experience.
I wonder if anyone remembers that the male lead is NEIL FROM *SHAKE IT UP* INDIA (omfg the nostalgia seeing him grow is so heart warming)
They didn't taught her not to sleep in the train.
Bro GRILLED Phool in one line! 😂😂
The shop lady and the cop are veterans and immensely talented actors.
Kidney touching is so 2010😂❤
What does it mean?
@@NN-wh6fnit's just a more exaggerated version of heat touching
@@NN-wh6fnhit you to the core😂 It’s like saying heart touching is not enough (Anyway this is very 2010s)

In our Village we didn't had the "Veil culture". My mom said that even my grandmother was married without a "Veil". And so did my great-grandmother.
Some Northern Indian villages still follow this invader made rules
Yeah..even in my village in Bihar we don’t have it..Women just put their pallu on heads that too when elder male members of family are present otherwise they don’t..But,they might be having in certain villages.
@@artislife456 it was never in our culture this system was started after the invasions 🥲
Amir Khan, Kiran Rao...these geniuses never fail to deliver true cinema. This movie has become one of my most favorite movies. Love the acting of everybody...so simple but such a humorous and heart melting film.❤
This movie is so good that even Hollywood director Taika waiti couldn't control and acted as a father of Deepak 😅
What?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😅😅
😂😂
Yup. He also played the role of that big pile of rocks near the Mandir.
I like Achara's analysis. She also takes into consideration small details as well.
Achara got all the references spot on❤
Jaby is so obsessed with the 'kidney touching' performance 😂
I think if Disney wants to make a film based on Indian Culture. This film deserves the place ❤
This movie is being picturized on a story written by a Bengali story writer namely Biplab Goswami who is also a script writer for many Bollywood movies.
9:42 how shockingly ACHARA knows it's 🌻SUNFLOWER 🥰
Even I didn’t realize it honestly
Even I missed the detail that phool called him by his name wow achara 👏🏻
Deepak's acting was something. Wish him and everyone, all the best.
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey
The Cop real life name is Ravi Kishan Shukla, popularly known as Ravi Kishan, is an Indian actor, politician, film producer and television personality. He currently serves as Member of parliament, Lok Sabha from Gorakhpur. His film works are predominantly in Bhojpuri and Hindi cinema, as well as Telugu cinema
Achara knowing Soorajmukhi means Sunflower is the most I have been impressed with someone on TH-cam in a very long time!!!!!!!
22:25
Same for me the old lady is no.1 for me , then the cop (ravi kishan - you should watch mamla legal hai from Netflix) and then jaya phool deepak etc....
The assistant to the police officer is played by the same actor who played bhushan in the series Panchayat..i hope achara has recognised him..
Very surprised by seeing jaby say "kidney touching"
Great progress towards becoming a Indian...😊
We say kidney touching sarcastically to roast an overdramatic TH-cam shorts... 😂😅🤣😂😅🤣
Me at the beginning: "I don't trust this pushpa" 🤔🤔
Me at the end: "I would actually trust her with my life"
I cried two times 😅 one the watch movie and one while watching with you. It is a very beautiful movie.
The lady who run the stall on railway station ( Chaya Kadam) you have seen her in Sairat , Fandry and many more films.
The veil system started 7-8 centuries back when Islamic rulers would take away any good-looking girl [age >= 8]. Thus, women were asked to keep veil, stopped from going out and also at times married early. It still continues in rural India but most people don't know how it started.
Wrong. Veil was present in Maurya Dynasty. Not everyone was a Tribal. Decolonisation for You Guys is equal to Aadivasi Culture.
P.S. It was started by Upper Caste Women because they had sense of honour.
Then why isnt it seen in south india@@shantanuranjan5462
@@shantanuranjan5462 Stop telling yourself these half baked lies. Stop being creative in creating false histories. Did other women had no sense of honour? Why lower caste women are also sheilding veil? If they were to replicate whatever upper caste was doing, then they should have replicated other things too like riding horses etc... Even during older times not all upper caste were rich.
@@shantanuranjan5462 Stop shielding the islamists and take hindus on guilt trip. Though I won't stop you from claiming that you are a gift of Mughals.
@@redtrends5198 not all but most upper cast was rich due to distribution of high paying jobs. And people do copy things from rich when they can. Not all can afford buying and raising horse can they? So only practices which people thought were copyable and respectdul trickled down below. Stop villifying everything. This is commonly seen fact. Example playing cricket in India due to urge of copying britishers. Preference of fair skin etc. People had, do and will copy things they see from affluent
Couple scenes that i wish were included were the one where Pushpa(jaya) praises the art skills of the sister in law and the cooking of the mother in law. And also how the mother in law mentions that when Phool comes back, she wishes that she would come as a friend to sister in law. That's one of the best scenes in the entire movie
Guys pls react to Manjummel boys after this ❤️
Is that good?
It's the best

So glad i found your channel jaby! You really do make my day i love your reaction and the fact that with each reaction youre growing and learning more and more about our culture makes me happy lots of love to you jaby and achara and offcourse all of your friends!!
The fact that "not taking ur husbands name" doesn't make sense as a rule is the whole point. That there have been so many arbitrary rules imposed on women, in the name of respecting the patriarch. The rule makes no sense, and that is explored in the movie very subtly. Its not suppose to make snese, because yes, even if that rule existed and still exists in some remote areas, at the end of the end, its just another arbotrary rule.
Exactly and kudos to the makers who subtly put these into the movie and actually hit the right spot. Wish it would have opened the eyes and minds of people who still follow such rules with no sense and reflect upon it, question and realise.
I really liked this movie, witnessed a similar situation.
One of my maternal aunt got lost sometimes around 2014, when she was visiting a hospital in our city. She walked behind her husband and got lost in the crowd while following him, she was very scared, while crying moved from the place. Uncle couldn't find her for long time when he realised her absence, so decided to go back to the village.
She was very scared and wasn't able to explain or say anything. Without money, without mobile, illiterate and aged woman(she was a grandma already). A man from our region found her but was not aware how to contact the family and was not aware about her village also. Somehow he knew someone from my father's village got his contact and we finally took her back. Called the uncle and he got back mid way.
We made a lot of fun of them, but really making women so dependable on men that they can't even move by themselves, away from their village is questionable. My aunt used to only follow uncle and uncle was responsible for everything outside, that's why she never learnt how to manage outside.
And Yes, this is a feminist movie. This is what feminism actually looks like. Women in india loose their identity as a person completely, after marriage, not in the city but in the villages.
Phool and Jaya were shown as strikingly opposite in the movie through their characteristics, reactions and even the police inspector also said to deepak while arresting jaya, tum Phool ki jagah kaanta le aaye, hum nikaal diye (You brought a thorn instead of a flower, I've removed it.) But one thing which both can commonly feel is FREEDOM which is shown through sunshine Phool (at the Train Gate, while returning) and Jaya(at the Bus Window)
This analogy sums up the movie and the message it is serving to the audience that no matter what your background is, ambition is, nature, personality, every women has a Thirst AND Right to her Freedom.
A very well Crafted Masterpiece. It'll be a Cult for sure!
After all it's AAMIR KAHN PRODUCTIONS.
❤
Why not anyone talking about JAYA who did an impeccable job 😢 she is one of the main character in movie n her acting just so real👏👏
My family has been residing in the city for three generations now, but even now none of the ladies in our family call their husbands by their name. Not as strictly as shown in the movie… they would name them if paper work and other stuff requires them to. And it’s not like someone strictly forbade them from not taking their husband’s name, it’s just cultural and kind of unthinkable for them to call their husbands by their names. And I think now even if we asked them to, they would find it very uncomfortable
Even in 2024 , my sister is like phool kumari , she can't travel alone and is a "respectable girl". But after watching this movie she finally motivated to go out of state for her job and travel alone , she's going tomorrow I'm Little scared but happy to see her grow and become confident ❤ her journey from phool kumari to jaya is starting ❤
What a lovely movie ❤
Kudos to Jaby for recognizing the old lady as the most remarkable character in the movie.
There are 2 songs - Doubtwa and Sajni re.. both are such fun loving beautiful songs in there own way💞💞💞💞💞
15:47 well that's a genuine smile
Manjummel boys next
No way he said kedney touching 😂😂😂
Kidney is far more deep than heart
No its because kidney is expensive 🤣😂 people often tell sell kidney for expenses things like i phone. So kidney is more valuable than heart so it means a total sarcasm
Phool named girl she is just 16 years old
She performed the role really well and also others
One of the best movie I have seen in this year.
Best actors imo were Ravi Kishan and Deepak's mom
Anyway JABY was finally learned an INDIAN language "THE KIDNEY TOUCHING"😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🎬 @21:56 the older lady who ran the stall on train station is actress Chhaya Kadam, she's in news for being a part of Cannes festival 2024 📽️... read more about it. She has been part of many award winning films like, Fandry, Sairat, Andhadhun,.. etc. 🎞️
And on the other end also part of an entertaining movie recently with madgaon express
Achara you are intelligent like hermoine granger ❤
17:52 . . . it sure was 😊
When Achara said 2001 was more than 20 years ago... I really felt that
Manjummel boys reaction
It endorses the Indian brand of Feminism, whis is finding your own voice and identity, being self reliant,women supporting other women, all this within the household structure. And to support that you need a supportive family. They showed all this within the cultural boundaries, and it was only questioned when it interfered with the law.
Manjummel Boys next please.
Achara is very observant and sharp she notices all the details❤
I will recommend 'Madgaon Express' to watch for both of you. It is very funny and entertaining.
Kidney Touching was so real😂
While 'heart touching' is great, 'kidney touching' is an emotion😂. (especially if the movie is over sentimental). Its always said sarcastically!
I like both of you ❤❤❤
