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. 🌼
Wow, thank you for this analysis! Most people wouldn’t have gotten it or interpreted it this way. I’m curious if this was something you observed or read from the filmmakers
Sahi baat hai Bhai ekdam natural acting thi. Even the reaction of the girl was so awesome laga hi nahi ki acting kar rahe hai... Aesae logo ko kaam milna chahiye yaar.
FUN FACT - in 1951 during India's first general election 2.8 million women couldn't vote because they didn't give their own name while registering to vote. Election commissioner sukumar sen said "these women simply refused to give their proper names in the electoral rolls and insisted that they be identified as A's mother, B's wife etc"
That sounds like a sad fact but also funny. Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you should loose your identity but that’s exactly what happens to these rural girls. And unfortunately, it is masqueraded under a selfless gesture by society. No, it’s just idiotic. You won’t see a guy do this. Why ? Cause they don’t feel their identity is shameful or useless.
@@blueshoes5145I think it has more to do that traditional women lives revolved around their husbands. In India, since many women didn’t want to get involved much with the paperwork ( it was tough) they left the legal work to their husbands. Things have changed for better, now even rural men help their women excel in their careers
@@blueshoes5145Indian state makes policies and laws for these women but it's the privileged women who exploit these laws and policies and make it difficult for women who actually need it. What are you blabbering about? Even men are referred to as - - k papa etc.
My heart is so full after seeing Kiran's such soulful sincere film. Cried like a baby. And seeing a packed house brings back the hope and faith in Hindi cinema and its audience. Beautiful writing, sincere and honest performances. Bliss
The way Deepak says "I love you" to Phool👌👌...You can tell how deeply he is in love with Phool just by his facial expression. This guy's one dialogue delivery is better than some Star kid's whole career.
In many culture it is believed that the husband life decreases if his wife calls him by his name. Also in older days husband used to be much older than the wife so it was considered disrespectful to call someone older by their name.
This makes me so happy!!! Even my dad, one of the harshest film critics ever, said that he watched a good movie for the first time in a long time... This movie is so damn heartfelt and sweet!!!

Just watched "Laapataa ladies". The movie is Simply Superb. The scene between Deepak & Phool in the farm just took it to the next level. He is so vulnerable in that scene and yet he goes ahead with it. The Overall narrative & storyline is so good. This movie is much much better than the big budget South Indian movies and their remakes which have no sense in them - just big loud music, over the top action & tons of over acting. No nuance at all. It is high time that audiences start valuing & supporting quality cinema over big budget loud movies with over the top acting.
During 2000s and even now in some parts of India, the women are not supposed to call their husbands by their name or say their husband's name in front of anyone as its not considered respectful for husband.
Beautiful movie - satire on regressive customs. It's absolutely hilarious to see the passive defensive comments about many of these customs. It still exists in many parts of the country 2001 was just 20+ years ago. One sheep even blamed the Mughals and British for the veil culture because apparently India is the land of kamasutra like the whole of India read that and practiced it. It's a very nicely done social satire which makes you think and question customs that don't have a place in modern societies. It's not a movie to make you defensive and blame others for it - it's a call for self introspection. I will get bombarded by hate comments because of my first name. That's okay - I'm used to it. Twenty years later another movie will be made about this decades defensiveness and blame game culture. God bless you all with the grace of wisdom
It's funny cuz just a few days ago I saw a 19th century wedding picture of a Tamil or maybe it was a Karnataka couple. And the woman in the pic wasn't covering her breasts.
Oh woww its actually funny coz i saw my grandma's pics and none of the women in her village was wearing a veil or even a blouse. Also the saree was up above the ankle
I watched this movie with my mother in a theatre. My mother who was earlier not ready to go to the theatre, came out of it saying that it was a "pretty good movie". I instantly knew that this movie will hit all the sweet spots of Indians. Kudos to such stories showing simple, original, INDIAN, India. ♥️
I am happy that you saw this movie it was released in the theatre, however, many Indian didn't even go to the theatre to watch it, now that this movie has come on Netflix people are taking and giving appreciation
This movie was in some way or the other a reply to Sandeep Reddy Vanga (director of Animal) who showed women as a property of men.. Kiran rao is a genius❤😂 this is a sattire on women in India...like Jaya there are many women who couldn't fulfill their dreams because of responsibilities... although India is developing a lot and has already developed a lot..but still Dowry is practiced in some villages or not so developed cities... Such a beautiful movie❤❤❤
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.
To explain the concept of not taking husband's name. It is a misbelief in India more in the villages that if wife takes her husband's name then the husband's lifespan reduces.
That facial expression when he says 'I love you' is phenomenal. Coming from a tiny village in India, I can totally understand why he made that face. It demands a lot of courage to say that for a village boy. Stunning performance from my, an indie-filmmaker's perspective. And I cannot wait to see your reaction on a film I was a part of. Won't reveal the name though I know you will react on that because it's a big budget bolly. haha
5:55 in villages, most of us got each other's back. I live ina small gossip friendly village, we fight for small things but if anyone's in trouble, we got each other's back. We unite for them. ❤ 8:08 in most villages of India, the old culture is that calling your husband by his name will reduce the lifespan of him. It was applied to both husband and wife but in the old patriarchy society, men didn't quite follow the rules whereas women on the other hand were seen as taboos who call their husband by name. My mom and dad both follow this but lightly. I mean they don't call each others by name but where it's necessary like telling someone they call each other by name otherwise they call "a ji" Or "sunte hain/sunti hain". Its cute
This movie is soo freaking delightful omg. And yes, this definitely has a feminist message but I personally think it works not because it's subtle, which it's not, but because it's also wrapped in a story about independence and self-reliance. And that's very relatable and universal.
I watched this movie in theatre then again on Netflix a week ago and couldn't stop crying both the times. Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan makes such wonderful movies. While watching I was reminded of Peepli Live which also showcases "Bharat" or the Indian Heartland stories of an Indian living in rural india and just like this it was also a satirical movie. You guys should react to Peepli Live next.
The comment from Achara about the Ghoongat (looking down so she doesn’t trip) is the practical aspect. The deeper meaning of what the lady in the movie meant was once a girl gets married (aka ghoongat on) , she just has to follow (her in-laws/husband/old traditions) never look forward (thinking for herself or being independent). That’s why I love the character arc of Phool the director shows the audience. She learns to be independent, speak up , to have an ambition, be brave, and look out for herself. I also love the family which was very caring and considerate. Overall I loved this movie. The actors were great, the story was really good. It may seem like a feminist movie to most educated city dwellers but i think the target audience are the women who still feel like it’s their duty to be submissive and put family first even in cases where the family is supportive. I like how it teaches such women to be courageous and to follow their passion without being disrespectful to anyone. Loved the characters arc of the police officer too.
My friend once traveled in a local train in northern part of india, the person sitting besides him suddenly hold my friends left arm saw the time in my friend's watch and kept his arm back 😂😂😂😂 The rural part of india has noConcept of personalSpace😅 the person didn't even realize he is enteringSomeone's personalSpace😂
In Uttar Pradesh and bihar, people don't wait till the station arrive, they just pull the emergency chain in the middle of nowhere and walk to their house.
I found this movie through your review!! I loved your reactions and comments. It was quite refreshing to see western reactions to Indian culture! I’m an Indian American and I can resonate with both cultures. India is an incredibly diverse land where food and language change sometimes every 100 kilometers, for example! It is also the oldest but still living civilization on the planet and therefore, you’ll see extreme and large differences in beliefs, customs, and practices all coexisting and many times within the same household. It can be quite confusing to an outsider. Urban India can be extremely modern meaning Americanized, for example.
Very glad you reacted to this.... Watched it a few days back and really a very soulful movie set in the backdrop of indian village.... Hope you like it
no one in hinduism calls her husband name directly they either say ayy jii meaning hey with utmost respect or in earlier times used to say arya putra (son of arya..here arya means warrior) and its purely cultural my mom too dont call my father by name she says suniye jii(listen with respect) or sunte hooo(are u listening) and even earlier times man were used to be named after their mother when young and when married then by wives like yashoda nandan krishn, kaushalya nandan ram while young and after marriage siya ram or siya pati ram, or radha krishn or gauri shankar or lakshmi narayan so everytime women name is taken before man..though hinduism is a patriarchal dharm
There are many aspects if we start considering them one by one. First of all, as you said that hinduism is patriarchal dharm. Right? So, if we will start comparing it with other religions just like xtianity and muslims, then you will find out that Hinduism is like a heaven for women and girls. Few points: 1) Hinduism is only biggest religion in world which worships female Goddesses. 2) other religions people calls/greet their gods as He/Him ONLY, while Hindus greets creator of this universe as He/She and Him/Her altogether. 3) only in Hinduism, you will find millions of girls and women whose surname are Devi, just like sunita devi, vimla devi etc. So, Hindu girls denotes themselves as goddesses. 4) In Hinduism, you celebrates Navratri in which all girl-children are worshipped as Devi. 5) Hinduism have given Kamasutra to the world, not xtians and muslims which also shows how liberals were Hindus since civilisations. 6) In Hinduism, women are allowed to go in all temples, whereas they are banned in peaceful religion to enter into their worshipping place. 7) if you will study history, then you will find that xtians just ki***d the women who wanted to study and also they ki***d the scientists and astronomers who said that earth revolves around the sun, not sun revolves around the earth, because those scientists and astronomers had gone against the teachings and beliefs of churches. 8) and whole world knows about peaceful religion, that girls get dead even if they shows hair of their heads, and even if they want to study, and even if they marry other religion boys, and even if they dance, and even if they put lipstick which not allowed in their so-called religion
@@vishalrao4073 brother there is no problem in Hinduism being patriarchal because despite of being patriarchal it gives most respect to girls and women and that what matters I think u wrongly understood my statement... My apologies for that
@@AniketKumar-dj8jyno, I understood your point of views as well. Yes, our society were patriarchal in many ways in Hinduism as well...and we regularly tried to rectify it since centuries. And we appreciate if things goes in good ways to give more freedom to women. We need to give them more rights, more education, more freedom. And these kinda movies were made to rectify all the bad practices in society...we need more films like these which raises struggles of women in different parts of society. I know the difficulties for women in villages. They even don't know how to speak properly in front of others.
@@AniketKumar-dj8jy I am surprised that youtube haven't deleted my first comment... because whenever I tried to simply point out about xtians and muslims even in a simple way, this platform just delete it.
@@vishalrao4073 yep this platform is strict against anti chritians and anti islam so it deletes the comment and thats the difference between religion and dharm as they are a religion they are made by man and are rigid but dharm changes acc to situation and is not made by man its made by bhagwan/god
Never heard my mom take my dad's name in last 60 years. This taboo was part of the Indian culture where women referred to their husbands in various contexts as "him", "my son's father", "your dad", "My other" ... and all sorts of indirect references. My wife, on the other hand, being the modern civilized woman that she is, always calls me by name and other sweet epithets like ... "a*hole", "you lazy slob", "swine" etc. How the world has changed !! I wish I could have lived in the less civilized days like my father.
Director Kiran khan(amir ex wife and good friend present)........inspired by so much Mr.nagraj Manjula films we can see in films direction and characters 😊
08:09 its an old tradition in North India where wife dont take Husbands name bcz of respect. But its only infront of him they cant take his name in the absence of her husband or husbands family member they can. But this is movies they show things in different way😅.
Tears weren't stopping when Manju mai tasted the kalakand sweet made by phool as soon as she heard the news about her safe return..Indeed a generational masterpiece 💝

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.

Police dont distrub them @@INFINI_X
Deepak n phool is my fav couple

Ravi kishan ❤
I found this movie through your review!! I loved your reactions and comments. It was quite refreshing to see western reactions to Indian culture! I’m an Indian American and I can resonate with both cultures. India is an incredibly diverse land where food and language change sometimes every 100 kilometers, for example! It is also the oldest but still living civilization on the planet and therefore, you’ll see extreme and large differences in beliefs, customs, and practices all coexisting and many times within the same household. It can be quite confusing to an outsider. Urban India can be extremely modern meaning Americanized, for example.
Favourite people reacting to favourite movie...😁
What a incredible movie 🤩🎥 love from Kerala
achara got tear after hearing i love you
so sweet
Very glad you reacted to this.... Watched it a few days back and really a very soulful movie set in the backdrop of indian village.... Hope you like it
14:15 the guy said "I Love You" seriously cause he is norvous as he has never dared to say this ever before in his life
Watching Jaby and Achara together again, feels like Home coming... you know... gold old days!❤
Was waiting for this eagerly ❣️🔥
no one in hinduism calls her husband name directly they either say ayy jii meaning hey with utmost respect or in earlier times used to say arya putra (son of arya..here arya means warrior) and its purely cultural my mom too dont call my father by name she says suniye jii(listen with respect) or sunte hooo(are u listening)
and even earlier times man were used to be named after their mother when young and when married then by wives like yashoda nandan krishn, kaushalya nandan ram while young and after marriage siya ram or siya pati ram, or radha krishn or gauri shankar or lakshmi narayan so everytime women name is taken before man..though hinduism is a patriarchal dharm
There are many aspects if we start considering them one by one.
First of all, as you said that hinduism is patriarchal dharm. Right?
So, if we will start comparing it with other religions just like xtianity and muslims, then you will find out that Hinduism is like a heaven for women and girls.
Few points:
1) Hinduism is only biggest religion in world which worships female Goddesses.
2) other religions people calls/greet their gods as He/Him ONLY, while Hindus greets creator of this universe as He/She and Him/Her altogether.
3) only in Hinduism, you will find millions of girls and women whose surname are Devi, just like sunita devi, vimla devi etc. So, Hindu girls denotes themselves as goddesses.
4) In Hinduism, you celebrates Navratri in which all girl-children are worshipped as Devi.
5) Hinduism have given Kamasutra to the world, not xtians and muslims which also shows how liberals were Hindus since civilisations.
6) In Hinduism, women are allowed to go in all temples, whereas they are banned in peaceful religion to enter into their worshipping place.
7) if you will study history, then you will find that xtians just ki***d the women who wanted to study and also they ki***d the scientists and astronomers who said that earth revolves around the sun, not sun revolves around the earth, because those scientists and astronomers had gone against the teachings and beliefs of churches.
8) and whole world knows about peaceful religion, that girls get dead even if they shows hair of their heads, and even if they want to study, and even if they marry other religion boys, and even if they dance, and even if they put lipstick which not allowed in their so-called religion
@@vishalrao4073 brother there is no problem in Hinduism being patriarchal because despite of being patriarchal it gives most respect to girls and women and that what matters I think u wrongly understood my statement... My apologies for that
@@AniketKumar-dj8jyno, I understood your point of views as well.
Yes, our society were patriarchal in many ways in Hinduism as well...and we regularly tried to rectify it since centuries.
And we appreciate if things goes in good ways to give more freedom to women. We need to give them more rights, more education, more freedom.
And these kinda movies were made to rectify all the bad practices in society...we need more films like these which raises struggles of women in different parts of society.
I know the difficulties for women in villages. They even don't know how to speak properly in front of others.
@@AniketKumar-dj8jy I am surprised that youtube haven't deleted my first comment... because whenever I tried to simply point out about xtians and muslims even in a simple way, this platform just delete it.
@@vishalrao4073 yep this platform is strict against anti chritians and anti islam so it deletes the comment and thats the difference between religion and dharm as they are a religion they are made by man and are rigid but dharm changes acc to situation and is not made by man its made by bhagwan/god
4:39 good thing jaby didnt say that abt the real wife tho😂😂
Cz the real wife is only 16💀💀
Never heard my mom take my dad's name in last 60 years. This taboo was part of the Indian culture where women referred to their husbands in various contexts as "him", "my son's father", "your dad", "My other" ... and all sorts of indirect references. My wife, on the other hand, being the modern civilized woman that she is, always calls me by name and other sweet epithets like ... "a*hole", "you lazy slob", "swine" etc. How the world has changed !! I wish I could have lived in the less civilized days like my father.
This makes me the happiest. Finally you are reacting to this movie. Such an earnest and good movie in so long
A beautiful movie without so called high paid stars ❤
Kiran Rao did such a great movie.
Waiting for this ❤
In last 20 years i never saw my mom saying my father's name...idk why but i feel it romantic 😂❤
After a long time we get a 10/10 movie. I loved it that much.
I was literally manifesting for a reaction yesterday and here it is. And it has happened for the 2nd time now😭
It is pretty common in Asia to not call husband or wife by names...
14:33 Aahhhh❤️
What a scene 💞💞
After a long time I was able to say aah what a movie!! And I was able to watch with entire family ..
Jaby and Acharya for the first time learning village culture of India.
Watch manjummel Boys

A gem of a movie! 🍿
Manju Mai is one of the best actors when she played rickshaw drivers wife she’s amazing ❤
It's so awesome movie I love it i watch full already 😊
This movie has my whole heart ❤️
Rural India in early 2000s. Though its changing now but its still there in remote areas..
I comes from rural area people become more hardline compared to old generation in village people banned use of dj and many more things are coming
Not calling one's husband by his name was like being respectful😂
Happy to see that you also do reaction for such realistic movies and not just the typical Bollywood stuff.
It's not like they are not allowed to say their husbands name but its considered as respect and love for their husband❤
Back in the days both husband and wives don't call out each other names .
It is still exists in rular India
Director Kiran khan(amir ex wife and good friend present)........inspired by so much Mr.nagraj Manjula films we can see in films direction and characters 😊
Her age is 14 at the time of filming and she has 10 million+ followers on Instagram 😮😮😮😮😮
What a beautiful movie!!!
The actor gives a feeble look of Bruno mars… 😂😂
I just loved Achara's expression when the actor said "I love you..." it was so sweet ❤❤
14minutes:34 seconds
I watched this movie on Netflix just recently but im gonna watch it again with you guys cause I just love it.
Such a good movie this is 👏 glad to know you guys are reacting to this
In many states of India, the wife does not take her husband's name; this is a part of the culture and this culture still exists today..🤗
Bohot e purana ha bay Yeh wala
08:09 its an old tradition in North India where wife dont take Husbands name bcz of respect. But its only infront of him they cant take his name in the absence of her husband or husbands family member they can. But this is movies they show things in different way😅.
