Sanya Malhotra’s film, Mrs., has been hitting the right people with its right message. The movie’s only motive was to share a side of women and how they are forced to keep themselves last while fitting themselves into the patriarchal system. However, it has left the internet and the nation divided as men think it has been portraying them in a negative light. While everyone is talking about how ‘not all men’ are the same, women know deep down that they have faced the same, if not worse but a taste of patriarchy. In the midst of it, SIFF tweets further ignited the situation, as they wanted a boycott of the film.
Sanya Malhotra’s film, Mrs. received backlash as men think it is a toxic portrayal of men
Till our last generation, women were not allowed to work; they were the last ones to eat after working tirelessly in the kitchen, taking care of the kids and the elders and having no offs, not even on a festival. It took women a lot of hard work, and parents struggled to make sure that their daughters would have a voice of their own after marriage. While the situation has changed favourably for women in metropolitan states, more than half of Indian women still face the same patriarchy and oppression.
