Movie- Tikli and Laxmi Bomb
Director- Aditya Kripalani
Genre- Dark Drama
This is a hard hitting movie about Mumbai's sex trade that is nurtured, protected and abused by the system.
Politicians, police and the local goons take full advantage of them and their life is burning less than hell. When they try to protest and try to take control over the system they are discarded and the world does not give a damn.
A realistic film with some troubling facts.No one is a sex worker by choice, it is circumstances that lead them there. This film is about their trials and tribulations.
Not an entertainer but a must watch. Not the usual kind of film for sure.
The film’s story encases, at once, patriarchy’s deepest desire as well as its uncontrollable fear of women having a right over their own bodies.It shows men’s urgent, existential need to control and profit from these women, but also to, simultaneously, demean, abuse, kick around, exploit and, of course, rape them.Tikli & Laxmi Bomb doesn’t flinch even once in presenting a gritty, stark, dark ecosystem in which these women operate. It happily speaks the language of the streets, of a dhanda where there’s a price on women’s bodies that belongs to men.
