Conveying hard hitting messages on social wrongs through movies is not something new. But when it comes to issues like domestic abuse or deep rooted patriarchy in our societies, creators have often failed to showcase the same in a manner that appeals to the masses. While movies like ‘Thaapad’ or ‘Great Indian Kitchen’ does a stellar job in conveying similar hard hitting messages, it’s tough to imagine a packed house watching these movies in a theatre and having a laugh riot. And that is probably the greatest achievement for this movie, harsh hard hitting messages conveyed in a manner that would appeal to the masses.

It is dark comedy at its finest. Yes, everyone’s laughing, but only on the outside. Because deep inside we know that we are the joke, a part of the system that creates such Raj’s and their ‘Raj Bhavans’. A society of hypocrites, where everyone’s ready to preach feminism in the neighbourhood but won’t practice it in their homes.
