#LaapataLadies is just lovely, but even better has been the scale & intensity of engagement it has provoked from lovers and critics alike. @SumanaSiliguri's in the @IndianExpress today -- incisive, delightful & scathing, all at the same time -- is my favourite thus far 🌸🪻🪷
🌺 🌹 to this piece.
No matter how important and well-intentioned a film is, it is never above critique. I wish those who were dragging people who didn't like Laapataa Ladies read this perspective.

OMG this is such a brilliant article!
Wonderful piece by @SumanaSiliguri. Loved reading it. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
@qtfan @SumanaSiliguri Hi Ranjit, the book is available on Amazon and in all leading bookstores. Please check this link: amzn.in/d/6682hfL
"an Aamir Khan Productions version of the utopian Indian village imagined by those who have never lived in a village". Fantasies of the rural have been a powerful propelling force for all kinds of activists and activism in India, from leftists to feminists (to queer, as I show).

Since I am not as articulate as the author, all I can say is: This perspective ❤️ Laapataa Ladies: A fantasy by those who have never lived in a village indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

@SumanaSiliguri articulating perfectly some of my discomforts with the film 🌻
Absolutely thrilled to find an entire section on Bhuwaneshwar in @SumanaSiliguri’s moving and poignant homage to Indian provinces and provincials.
Sumana Roy, writing perceptively about what else apart from the ladies are laapata.

We loved #LaapataaLadies but essential to be aware of the ground reality. Like @SumanaSiliguri says in her article, ".. a fantasy, an Aamir Khan Productions version of the utopian Indian village imagined by those who have never lived in a village" #LaapataaLadiesOnNetflix

Insightful & engaging, I found this piece a necessary corrective to the overwhelming impression of how "feel-good" the film is (for me too! I loved it). Agree 100% that it's a fantasy vision of rural India but I would not say that patriarchy has been defeated/overcome in the end

Interesting reading by @SumanaSiliguri. I enjoyed watching Laapataa Ladies. The point of engaging with popular cinema is to try to inspect what appeals to us about it. The contradiction is real; it must be sharpened with analysis.
I love the way @SumanaSiliguri thinks through the film!

Today’s instructions against haste, from Ursula K. Le Guin: “To make something well is to give yourself to it, to seek wholeness, to follow spirit. To learn to make something well can take your whole life. It's worth it.”
I agree with the criticism; however, I saw this film merely as a game show in which families are swapped and the women must complete certain tasks to advance to the next level. The makers were satisfied with this, even though other interesting political outcomes were possible.

@SumanaSiliguri Yet the semiotics i see in everyday life around me in the village that i live in. People naming domestic animals in codes & the banter around it - all in middle of everyday violence & also subversion around caste/gender.Ofc need to be critical of the gaze, but many layers here.
#LaapataLadies is just lovely, but even better has been the scale & intensity of engagement it has provoked from lovers and critics alike. @SumanaSiliguri's in the @IndianExpress today -- incisive, delightful & scathing, all at the same time -- is my favourite thus far 🌸🪻🪷

No matter how important and well-intentioned a film is, it is never above critique. I wish those who were dragging people who didn't like Laapataa Ladies read this perspective.

@SumanaSiliguri brings to mind Simone Weil’s dictum that “Official history is a matter of believing murderers at their own word.”
@SumanaSiliguri But even when they are mentioned there is always an accompanying rumour that the death wasn’t a suicide, and it’s even hidden from Jaya and her family initially. So the doubt is sowed from the beginning. Referencing Mayawati Devi and observing what goes on in the police station
@priyadarshi_12 @SumanaSiliguri Pretty in the face, the flowers in the movie, yet an interesting observation!
One empirical quibble here is that we don’t actually know if Pradeep’s first wife died by suicide or not; as it’s heavily implied that she was killed in a dowry murder. Both the manner of her death (from immolation) to Pradeep’s violent behaviour et al. imply the latter.

@Madhusree24 @SumanaSiliguri @IndianExpress (2) must have the final word. It isn’t a single masculine vs feminine tug of war. It is about the dominance of the side which at the given moment is the receiver of the gift of a bride. Within each side are factions of both hues.
@Madhusree24 @SumanaSiliguri @IndianExpress It is so true. Not only the family name or surname but also the first names of women are changed after their marriage. It is as if their natal first names are unaesthetic or incomplete & inapt. In fact, all of these & the groom’s side (cont on 2)
@SumanaSiliguri @IndianExpress The utopian fragrance of Life from the far lense makes sense in a paradoxical way .
@SumanaSiliguri @IndianExpress Excellent observation indeed. Thanks for writing this article!
@SumanaSiliguri I will not compare to u any flower, Bcoz doing so will limit my love. Didi u are beyond comparison.
