Angry Indian Goddesses

...there are times when the movie, despite interesting narration of every character, appears to be running in all directions. But the real essence of the movie is always maintained. When the movies goes get serious towards the end, the visuals and the well-written dialogues will leave a shock value. It is not a predictable Hindi movie with clichés. You grow with the characters and their journey is very much identifiable.

Book your tickets right away if you want to see a well made, relatable and a realistic film which is quite a rarity nowadays.

Angry Indian Goddesses is a film that explores womanhood in a brilliant manner. Yes, we are women who discuss sex, who are irritated of fighting over equality, who know how to deal with a pervert, who can juggle being Kaali, Lakshmi, Saraswati (goddesses) and that is exactly what we see.

Considering the treatment it got by the censor board, I don't know if Angry Indian Goddesses changes anything. Still, it's so good to see a film that revels in womanhood as much as this one.

Go, watch this film anyway for this is a very unlikely Hindi film coming your way. It is brilliant how the film manages to balance the deep-shit, intense situations with cool-ass, breezy moments! The film is a must watch for men and women alike.

Make no mistake - this film could only have been about Indian women. It lays bare their inherent battles without being too gimmicky, pretentious or offering immediate solutions.

Angry Indian Goddesses charts an unprecedented path. It would have set a benchmark had it not settled for a mainstream climax.

Watch it you must, for the attempt made to highlight some real issues yet presented in a light, entertaining manner.

AIG's selling point is the honesty with which the leading women approach their characters and the uncontainable chutzpah they exude.

The film is good in parts, meh in others and has its share of fun moments, especially when 'the neighbour' (Anuj Choudhry) is objectified by all the women, while he washes his car, shirtless. But every sequence ends up with a "we-are-trying-to-do-something-important-here" tone and spoils all the fun. After the end credits have rolled to a song that I've already forgotten, I can't make up mind if I liked the film or not.

Ultimately, Angry Indian Goddesses is a decent watch as long as the fun lasts but tumbles downhill with gathering pace as the 'anger' kicks in. Watch it for its good acting, the director's bravery in picking his premise and protagonists, but don't expect a statement on feminism or a revolutionary Bollywood film'. You will be sorely disappointed.

Angry Indian Goddesses is a decent watch if you keep you expectations in check. It is a perfect example of how anger does very little good afterall.

...would appeal only to the urban audience, as the others would neither relate to the characters nor some of their shocking behaviour.

It feels as if Nalin packed in all the issues in case another film this witty and powerful would never get made again, which partly works in his favour. It's a must watch film that will likely spark a dialogue around women's issues, which is so vital at this time.
