The way Manju sat in the chair with a glass of juice near a cooler looking at all the men in the room was an invisible slap to all of them!

Did anyone notice one of the ladies calling her daughter to serve food for her brothers? That's exactly what is wrong with our culture. Teaching us since childhood that girls need to serve and boys need to be served. I could see my childhood there. and I'm sure many of you too. Please, let us promise ourselves that we wont pass on this discriminating attitude to our next generations.
very true. we need to start raising the boys better than that.
I have just mentioned that in my earlier post, though among bengalees we don’t have this attitude (generally speaking) at all
its the story of almost every household
Roshni Raoof . It was brilliant that they put it there. I could totally connect with this!
Roshni Raoof when I was young I was told girls shouldn't laugh too loudly. I was 8. The world is fucking messed up.
And this is why festivals and family gatherings are so stressful for females of the house👍
Exactly
Aur isliy ladies gathering psnd nhi krti
Yeh
Poor
yup so right , I see my mom cooking and cleaning all day in every family gatherings and she barely have to time to enjoy
The reason I liked the ending is because Manju goes and sits next to the cooler in the end. Without saying a word to her husband or any of his male guests. She sits there, breathing heavily...drinking the cold juice and just breathing. It's a silent slap to the husband who forgot about the fan. A silent slap to all the male guests who are now forced to wonder how their wives are coping inside the kitchen.
And perhaps it was not the audacity of Manju but the realisation of their actions which caused everything to go so silent in that room.
But Why didn't they purchase one more cooler ?? Flipkart Amazon par itne offer chalte rhte hai ..
@@anonymousagni2 you clearly know the cooler was not the point, and yet you're asking such a dumb question on these comments
The worst was that the other ladies also didn't help her in finishing the kitchen chores. They were busy gossiping
So we'll explained, not her audacity, realization of their actions,
But girls should only clean , cook and spread her legs that's what I believe....tell me If I am wrong 🤨!!
This is so relatable. When I was a child, I was told to leave plates after eating. My sisters would collect the plates of my father and mine. As a child, it never bothered me. It was the norm. But as I grew up, I began to understand that it was so wrong. Women are always treated like slaves. Now I do all my chores myself. I am learning to cook as well. And I will definitely share household chores with my future wife.
Glad you had that realisation😊 More power to you.
Yes even in my house I was told to pick my brother's plate after dinner but then later on I insisted him to pick up his own dishes and plates
Great mentality..😊
Wow broo.. Your mind is as beautiful as your face💓💓
That is a nice thought. May you be blessed with an equally understanding wife.
The moment the maid refused tea,it clicked to the main character that even a maid had a self respect,why should she suffer.good story and well preseneted
oh wow thats so true, didn't even realize this!
Oh that was the motto of that scene?
Nice observation. These kinds of movies need good observation and artistic mind
@@Magictrunk yeah ....she was also shown in a good character taking care of here didi
Good observation.. did not realize

When people said women are weak and low and exhausted generally
This is what I see, 24/7they are in front of gas stove, closed room with lack of oxygen, making them lethargic due to no fresh air, lifting heavy vessels, burning hands in hot oil and rotis, and still living with the burn wounds, having shortness of fresh breathe in a suffocation filled hot room, wet body with large stream of salt water (sweat) flowing all over body, do not have freedom to lift up the top or dress even in feont of lady mates and wipe the excess sweat amd take air, Total top to bottom, left to right thick fabric clothing in name of fake modesty to further trap that excess heat inside her body and skin making her 'Body organs' function slowly and bring her lethargy (excess heat bring weakness and lethargy and dehydration), no view in front of eyes except steams out of cooker, gas and oil pans, etc. (Makes a person's mood further depressed), women doing all these heavy works with a hidden 'Stress and fear' in minds that what if men and kids don't like our food taste , will we have to make it again, a stressed mind results in compromised physical health. After, food is cooked, she does heavy work of carrying all heavy vessels and tongs and hot jars to living room and constantly attending orders of men on table like a waiter in hotel with a hidden 'Fire in belly'. The men and kids gobble food like greedy, leaving behind less tidbits and leave to sleep or chat , women washing and cleaning men's soiled , saliva-plaited dishes with vim, and keeping back in dish racks , till that their appetit has GONE due to physical exhaustion as (digestion is internal labour), and they silently and unexpressively sit on ground taking own plates, and serving those leftover tidbits (forget abt balanced diet, its tidbits after men and kids ate) and eat alone with no GIGGLING, laughing, watching tv or not having a 'HAPPY feast'and no men or child gies to talk and entertain them or serve them and ask them 'Was your hunger fulfilled with thise tiny todbits and leftover cold meal pieces?'
And LO ! All the tidbits unfortunately are LOST in monthly bleeding periods, again rendeeing her malnourished and anaemic and weak.
While if its a married woman , when after the hungry and weak and tired woman returns in a bedroom in myth that she will relax at least an hour full, she is many times forced by horny husband to sleep chupchap on back while bending knees on bed, in a woman in bottom like a submiisive 'Object' , speechless, energy less and ofc with no libido with all the malnourishment of day, while full bellied, enthusiastic and empathyless husband jumps like a beast on her in name of 'Husband's need, physical relations and traditional wife's duty'.
The way this short film has portrayed such a real whole picture from even the smallest of actions captured is just mesmerizing. The patriarchy and casteism is so deep rooted in our society that people dont even realize it or just dont wanna admit it no matter how educated and liberal they want to portray themselves
I hadnt noticed the "casteism" aspect till I saw how the maid was served in the metal glass. Very deep rooted which makes us blind to this.
It's the opposite in my family mother, sister, neices neither do house work, nor earn money ,nor outside work except attend get togethers and shop for clothes. They can't do work at home nor get work done with maids can't even keep a maid for a year.

During my college days my papa used to force me to help my sister to put the washed plates and utensils on shelf. He also instructed me to do various household activities which i didnt liked. But somehow it became my habit to keep my house clean and tidy. Thank you papa for giving me right teachings. My wife is happy as we together are doing the household work.
Its our sanskaar that decide our behaviour and our life in the long run. pls dont change ever. say thanks from me to uncle ji.

this is probably the 20th time I am watching this short film. Never gets old and such a simple yet powerful piece of art.
Absolutely! I am here for the second time but this short film stays in my mind rent free.
I think you are out of work
Hey tmkc
As men we should shame about ourselves. This is an iconic one and slap for all those men who do exactly. Shefali Sha was brilliant there with her heart touching performance.
I made my dad watch this with my mom sitting beside him
He had tears.
Thank You guys.....It wasn't just a video...it changed everything in our family❤
Oh great! Your mom must have felt proud of you👍
I did the same. As my mother had been doing these things for our cousins for last 25 years. Though my father helped my mom as much as e could with the household but he wasn't left with any choice either
Rishita it takes alot of courage to do this and I am glad you could do it. I would also like to add that I come from a family where any of this doesn't happen and I will make sure that it doesn't ever happen.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
God blessed for ur families....
Those eyes of pain, frustration and anger in the climax is out of words. Great job shefali ma'am
Yeah
india lost semi final against newzealand😋
M also feel the same

Did anyone notice that the woman served tea to the maid in another "special" cup? That's the nature of India. Castiest at every step.
Yes
Me also wondering.. if those women can't give respect to the maid.. how can they expect gender equality..
You don’t have to notice it, it’s evident
Utterly sad.
My aunt also does so... we children were innocent n surprise to see that n by time we also learned but I'm not gonna follow it..
The movie definitely portrays some deep themes beautifully. It starts with the sounds of clanking of utensils, which is then taken over by the laughter of men, symbolizing how the struggles of women are often walked over by the blusters of men. The men boast about having to work in strenuous conditions and we see that the women working in the kitchen are no different. Starting from handling hot contents in the kitchen to trying to repair electrical stuff themselves, the women face it all or mostly. The first few shots are of only one woman serving the men but we are soon shown the grim face of the rest of the women as well. Even the children are not spared from the faults of the patriarchal society. The caste system seeps in when we see that the hostess rubs her dirty hand off her maid's head while she climbs down the stool. Showing the maid rejecting the tea being served in a different glass reflects self-dignity of a person, I believe. Finally, the hostess realizes the flaws of the household system which even involves the children, and she decides to take a stand and face her husband. Only then do we get the sound of the cooler working as if breathing new breath into the household - men realizing their hypocrisy and women taking their stand. And not to forget all the beautiful lines, especially those comparing Hillary and Trump.
Can anyone tell me what is the relevance of juice here ?
@@debolinabhattacharya9801 I suppose it's a symbolic representation of women taking the reins of their lives in their own hands... taking up the courage to neuter the patriarchal demands... taking control of their share of life and responsibilities.
Even a small detail like 1:38 has a big impact - man walks into the house first without leaving the door open for his pregnant wife. In other countries the gentleman thing to do is open the door for his wife first then walk in after
12:01
But girls should only clean , cook and spread her legs that's what I believe....tell me If I am wrong 🤨!!
Shefali is a gem. She didn't need to say a word but she slapped the faces of all that were there. And that look of defiance, amazing.
What a great actress
A good director can make anyone act
I can so relate with this, my dad would bring his friends home for drinks, and mum and i would be busy in the kitchen preparing snacks for them...till one day i could not take it anymore and confronted my dad infront of all his friends....and never did my dad brought his friends again for drinks...my mum could not confront him, i did it for her....
I'm not sure, if such chauvinism exists in the current age. May be it's more the other way around
God bless you..
Always stay this brave and protect yourself and your mother..
It's so imp to take stand for ourselves and for our loved ones..
So happy that you took this step..
Bless youuuu
Even I have seen this scene in my growing up years,but I guess today’s generation boys are quite sensitive,infact my son complains that more than didi he has to work in the house😃
Super
I wish I could do the same
Manju's face at the end says it all.....men would never understand how hard they make the life for women....especially making her resign the job for a child is very common these days....BE KIND TO EACH OTHER

True😂

Unka ego hurt hogaya hoga 🤣
Yeah mam I support you
They did a really good job at playing with the sounds, from the very beginning, the background sounds of utensils and men talking loudly, it did a really good job at making me feel suffocated.
And when she came out in front of the men, the music turned it into a very soothing and breathable environment.
In the beginning, when the camera follows the ladies in the kitchen, took us from that narrow corridor to the women's world, like an air pocket in a cave.
Nicely explained
Well said
How beautifully explained ❣️
So nicely expressed 😊
Nice observation and description
I really can never satisfy myself from watching this again again and every time the respect gets stronger... brought tears in my eyes in the ending scene fr!!! The disappointment and pain in her eyes says it all!!!! And the thing that women are themselves enemies for each other like the woman showing the sarcasm about Manju leaving her job and when she had had enough and tried to initiate her thoughts the ladies were giving her "that judgemental" look for not having a conservative mindeset....
This comment section is one of the best for me till now!!
After watching this movie again after a long time I feel so happy and lucky that my father was a very forward thinking person at that time. He taught me to drive cycle and then car at a very young age. He sent me for higher studies qnd spent a lot of money on me. I am proud to have him as my father.
Hey tmkc
The only person who was actually helping the leading lady is her servant. But when asked for a cup to offer a tea to the servant, the pregnant woman is giving a steel glass... The eyes of that servant at that time was the most painful one, I think, in this whole film...
Then obviously, the climax, brilliant...
Ruby Rose pregnant women ko aise Nahi kerna chahiye na
I think there was a massage behind, that even women is not supporting a woman. ( Tho maid was helping women only ).
So all the time ,its not about any gender... Samay ane par sab apna rang dikha dete hain
It was not good she is same like other ladies
Sabse bada gyan aurat hi aurat ki sabse badi dushman hai .1st 2 Ladies that countered pregnant women.2nd how small girl was treated .3rd how the maid was treated.

Wow
Not dear it's not true it's depend on situation have u ever saw the person who works on road , a driver who drive all the night sitting on his sit does they not feel bored overwhelmed it's totally depend on situation
Oh really!!!🙄
…And with other women
Just like in this short film how the girl was told to serve her brothers, it was the same case in my family. I have a brother and my mum used to tell me to do his chores but thankfully now that my brother has grown up he does his chores by himself. Even when my mother asks me to serve him or do any of his work he tells her "mom i can do it myself"
WE APPLAUD SUCH MEN WHO HELPS THEIR MOTHERS AND SISTERS.
Exactly tmkc
Amazing short film. I remember my mother working in kitchen and guests enjoying in living room relishing the delicious food. And when I went to help my mother in kitchen my dadi use to come and shout at my mother saying are you trying to make your son a Chef boys should not enter the kitchen.
But thanks to you Aai for teaching me the art of cooking. Because today you are not with me but your upbringing has helped me to be a good human and an amazing chef😘.
Thanks for making this film I saw my mother in this short film.
God bless you.
What a powerful work Neeraj Ghaywan!
Few things I admired the most:
1. The dark theme for a "supposed to be" happy get-together. The starting sequence in the beginning conveyed the main message of the film
2. But it was the small scenes in the film said the larger picture and problems in the society. We all have seen this in our families where woman get cooked up in the kitchen and men enjoy the "time-off" in the living room.
3. Shefali Shah is par excellence. Manju's character is so well etched, she is not just furious by her husband who ignored the fan-fixing and other man, but she is furious at the other women too who continue to teach other women to be like them. The steel cup for maid and the lady asking her daughter to feed her brother/s (notice she calls them "bhaiya" so the son is older than the daughter).
4. It not only reflects how men treat woman, but it shows what woman teach other woman/girls when they know it's not right. It also shows the deep casteism and classism in the society, the behavior towards our servants.
5. The music in the end gave me goosebumps
Kudos and utmost respect to all the homemakers!
Dhruv Shah perfectly written. You my mate, stole my words.
Also when the daughter was called to help in serving and the boys were still busy playing
Very well put, Dhruv
Well said, that’s the dark reality of our society.
Dhruv Shah well written
The video is something else. Honestly. With barely 4-5 dialogues of Shefali how the society badly treats a woman is shown
Firstly after marriage she is the maid of the house.
She has to cook clean and take care of every little thing while the so called "man of the house" enjoys drinking alcohol and smoking cigarette
Secondly when all the women are traeted the same in their respective households , still instead of supporting each other they make sure to bring each other down.
They just are standing in the kitchen in the name of helping the host lady. They are obviously seeing her struggle with the chicken dish , even then no comes forward to help her. On the top of that 2 of them are watching videos.
These socalled friends even want to damage your relationships and dynamics with anyone for eg. Here the maid.
It is obvious that the househelp lady and the protagonist have more connection than the boss-servent relationship still that pregnant lady interferes in their dynamics.
And sadly the protagonist lets her do it coz after pregnant lady is her so called friend and the househelp lady.
Moreover the mothers are forcing their own children to such toxic patriarchy.
And that husband? The talks about Emperor Akbars dysentery are so important to him that he cant even help his wife.
The effect of men being superior than women has also been embedded in the innocent minds of those children.
Only fighting for Hindus and Muslims is not the only problem in our society.
If you open your eyes and are more receptive in your daily life , you will find so many things that you can stop and correct. Just to make our community our society a better place
So true

Superb sir ..u give good msg
Wooow thank you for pointing out some of the more subtle details! Wonderfully done!
No matter how many times I watch it...the last scene makes me feel the same intensity, same pain...ahh
Can't argue with that
Shefali is a class act💜
Very very relatable 😭😭 I thought it only happens in our family. Feel really sad for everyone . I too see my mom and chachis and bhuas and massis the same way . And I do serve food to my brother. He gets food first . And after eating, either I or my mother pick up the plate of my father and brother. And everyone take it like so normal. But I used to think about it. And now after watching this video and reading the comments, I know it's same everywhere. 😭 We need to stop guys. These men and society needs to stop. The must give the atleast equal respect If not more. Really very disappointed. Being a 14 yr old I notice each and everything but sadly couldn't express . I feel so bad for everyone. 😭
that tear,anger,resistance n pain in her eyes omg shefali ma'am is a gem to bollywood
Actually she is a gem to Bollywood...wat an actress.... excellent !!!

@@anjanaarora8775 But girls should only clean , cook and spread her legs that's what I believe....tell me If I am wrong 🤨!!
The way the little boy was so confident in talking with superiority to the girl is evident of the fact that boys are trained to feel superior right from their childhood. This is the reflection of the society that we live in, where the difference in the rules for girls and boys is inculcated right from the childhood. Also women accepting and supporting the unacceptable behavior of men boosts their unnecessary ego, some women do it by choice to look "gharlelu" (couldn't think of another word) while some do it out of fear for facing the consequences should they take a stand. As is rightly said, be the change you want to see, the female protagonist took a stand finally starting a new change for herself. I have lost so many friends, because they still believe in this old school behaviour and me taking a stand did not go down well with them accusing my spouse and myself being unethical. I strongly believe they are definitely among the current 4.1K dislikes and I want to say thank you for making room for practical people in my life.
Your comment is the story of my life. Giving words to my thoughts.
I don't think it was with that attitude the boy spoke. It was rather a "jiski laathi,uski bhaiss" type attitude
same as me....some girls thought they look eligent and portray themselves as bechari
Yes I so agree rn…
Thats bullshit... Go to any house and see the sisters dont take shit from brothers. Dont bring this bs into brother sister relationships
One of the most powerful feminist films because it neither shouts its idea loudly nor character cried out feminist dialogues in melodrama , just delivered it subtly in minimalistic way , which is hardly seen in films dealing with social issues , Neeraj Ghaywan you are master of this!!
Just asking. Why are you against feminist shout their ideas loudly or asserting feminist dialogues?
@@JObhihosoho personally I don't like any social issues films to be loud and filled with heavy dialogues, it becomes preachy, anubhav Sinha movies, I like it subtle feels more powerful way of visual storytelling, there is an hour discussion I can have on usage of dialogue in cinema , but this valids my opinion ig :)
@@JObhihosohoJust imagine Manju lecturing everyone at the end. It would feel forced. Also she hadnot said anything to other women who werenot helping. It would be hypocrite to say just to men. The act of taking chair from kitchen signifies that she isnot happy with them. Sitting near those men, drinking juice infront of AC says everything.I call it good direction and story telling
Nahh..... not convincing.
This is the story of almost every other house in india.....becoz people treat boys nd girls so differently in there own houses..
Man you said it. Every south asian household worldwide seriously
..even middleeastern households...
In pakistan as well
I'm suffering from this btw IAM shefali
By who their mom only who is also a girl
I m quite lucky to have parents who believed, practised equality. I did always have a good support from them in following my decisions of life n i always lived upto it. I don't like such people who either place girls on head n boys as fools or boys r kings n girls as servants.... lets live n let live
I am guilty of a similar behavior with my wife. I am guilty of not being sensitive enough to understand what she goes through. Guilty of blaming her for not being vocal enough. Men like me need to bring this insensitivity towards their wives to their awareness. This video helps me realize I am like these men in the video. This video helps me see me through my wives lens. Thank you!
salute to you..you have guts to say about your behaviour..not everyone have this guts
Good for you man.... Its lovely that you can say this out loud! Cheers!
It's not too late...
Good for you
You better mend your ways dude
Shefali Shah is unmatched as an actor. Both in Bollywood and Hollywood. She is just superb.
When she strts to walk towards the "conference" my heart was beating like anything it was so scary to watch.....wow
The last portion, where she just sits and gives a look. Her eyes said volumes which even words would not have justified. Thanks for leaving it silent. Such a strong message!!! Wow
Paritosh Jadhav women are capable of working .. nasa,TCs,infosys,isro all have women employees.. so if men don’t work women can do their work but can men do the work women do.. rarely yes.. sadly even no in my own case however I’m only 18 still
Juvina Rewari sexy
+Paritosh Jadhav Actually no. In the situation; it is clearly mentioning that she was forcefully stopped by her husband from working after marriage. And even if she had refused and wait for a husband who "ALLOW" her job still all the household works like making great Indian dishes, changing napkins of children, cleaning toilets&kitchen etc will automatically reserved for the lady of the house
my mother and father both are working... From childhood I have seen my father helping mother in kitchen..though mom is best at cooking ..but father help in other works like cutting vegetables..., washing utensils..., making dough ..etc....He cooks food whenever He gets a holiday, or mom is in office etc... Even my grandmother became a school teacher after marriage. ..so growing in this perspective.... It will be intolerable... for me to be married away to a family with this shit mentality.... better to remain unmarried...
nice concept... nice acting....SUPERB...

Wonderful work of Art. Juice has a symbolic meaning - Act of Defiance, Attempt to break the shackles from household chores, Shows transition from being attentive to being defiant, Journey from - the raised temperature inside kitchen to cool wind of Cooler, Burned Curry (Sabjii) to Cool Juice, Gender bias, Male members discussing world politics yet showing ignorance to household things (Patriarchy). Towards the end catches male members' reaction from surprise, awkwardness & anger to abject realization....and so many things.....wonderful....
As a mother of 5 kids, all I can say gender equality starts from home. Kids love doing stuff and little responsibility let them enjoy and learn.
I know cooking (as I am studying away from my home I know cooking, dish cleaning etc I mean everything)
but whenever I thought about my life after marriage I feel like I will not do all these works after my marriage!!
This short movie makes me realise their situation... I will not leave her alone to face all this
Well done guys that was eye opening stuff for me!! Seriously hats off

Awesome, man... hope you keep this in your mind till and after your marriage.... All the best.
To all the men who have shown realisation, empathy and understanding after watching this video, you are what we need more of. As i scrolled through the comments i expected positive comments from women and negative feedback from men because that's what we commonly witness, and when i saw all these men being supportive and understanding, it felt like like hope. Share your awareness with others too. Change starts with ypu

Rural remains the same, no idea of ultra high segment, they are on a diffeent altitude, but india is rapidly changing
कभी कभी मैं यह सोचता हूं की सभी नारियां विद्रोह कर दे तो हम आदमी लोगो को अपनी औकात याद आ जाए। ये किसने तय किया की औरते ही घर का सारा काम करेंगी चाहे वो आदमी के बराबर कमाती हो। यदि औरत बाहर का काम कर सकती है तो पुरुषो को भी घर का काम करना ही चाइए। औरते कोई नौकरानी थोड़ी है। 80 प्रतिशत आदमी आज भी औरत को अपना गुलाम ही समझते है। गुस्सा और भी अधिक तब आता है जब देखते हे की औरत ही औरत की सबसे बड़ी दुश्मन है।

@@abhinav4change Please watch these videos on youtube( the throne of Allah by merciful servant), (4 stories that tell us who prophet Muhammad really was by One Islam production), (crying for the prophet emotional by the daily reminder), (tears of our prophet in dua by ILovUAllah), (daimonds of Islam by ILovUAllah)
The scene where the mother comes and calls her daughter to serve her brothers, that is when the patriarchy pervaded. Irony but a women herself promotes patriarchy subconsciously. Excellent performance by the whole cast.
Gud
Hmm so woman see patriarchy curse patriarchy comment on social media against patriarchy but still allow oneself to fall prey to patriarchy.... ridiculous
Spot on !
Women have gotten so comfortable with patriarchy that they'll complain about it but won't try to find a way out. It's this "it sucks but I have to do it" type of mentality. Unfortunately they don't realise that there is another way.
Dristisikha Baruah so true...
When I was a child my mother used to say that she hate gatherings and festivals and a young me could not understand why so but now when I have to do the same chores like her. Now I can understand
The glass of juice and manju... the moment itself was enough to potrait the things without words..
The little girl who carries the dishes for her brother reminded me of myself. I am the most pampered one in the house after two brothers. But these little things always showed up. They could sit and chat and play while carrying the tea tray was girls' job. And it seemed like natural selection. This has been persistent over the years. It doesn't make a difference whether you do a job or not, you are young or old, women are treated in same way across cultures. Sometimes women themselves glorify it. It is the worst part. And in a family setup, you can't ask questions to your mum. Like the little girl was shut up and made to carry the plates, trust me the scene is so original, I could see myself in her.
Thanks for the film.

@@yousufuddin8956 But girls should only clean , cook and spread her legs that's what I believe....tell me If I am wrong 🤨!!
She isn't and not going to be appreciated or acknowledged anyway. So why not leave everything for once and have a glass of juice?
Well said
Yes
True
Sometimes you don't think why and what it will change... You just had enough
@@akankshalalwani67 ryt
And thats why i helped my mum everyday whenever it was possible in her day to day work , i was laughed at by my cousins but i always ignored them cause my mum happiness was everything for me .
Sometimes Silence Speaks More Then anything else....The Title and Performance are AMAZING ❤
Love when the message is portrayed through silences.. it's impactful.
I didn’t get the ending
She opposed the patriarchy by sitting among men instead of being confined to kitchen. Vive le resistance!
Kavika Singhal yes
Yeah they didn't have budget for dialogues
Kavika Singhal nice
My heart cried when the maid was given the chai in the spared steel cup, and what a silent but yet so powerfull ending. Brillient work
This room showed me the entire world. How a woman has to think to get out of a thing to step into another. The courage, hostility. Amazing!
Did you noticed how the men were complaining about women not being able to handle difficult tasks and responsibilities while their women were doing all the kitchen work, working like hell in the hot environment.
They: But she didn't speak anything even after so much.🤔
Me: I heard her loud. 🙂🙁
I also here loud that she is expecting her husband that it is not big deal to work in office whole day. You should help wife at home in cooking. I can't understand why these ladies in kitchen..For gossiping instead of helping each other.
Prophet Muhammad cooked, cleaned and took the trash out, your wives arent your maid, they are your partners, be like prophet Muhammad
So true!!!
She called her husband for fixing that fan but he didn't even remember..
That's why she came with a juice at the end and sat in front of cooler , she indirectly said "I'm not a robot, I'm a human "
This short movie was just soo damn good. Literally we need this kind of content . Kudos to the wonderful team for making this masterpiece.
They were burning in heat and their husbands were... Thts the reality of every home
Ohhh my God! Those eyes of Shefali... her expressions.... her demeanour... less dialogues but 200% expressions!!! Hats off to her and the director of this video!!!! Standing ovations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Now I am pursuing medical career (studying MBBS) and I promise that when I would be married, I would prove myself to be the best husband in this world.
I sincerely hope that ur words are true cause even a single man can bring a huge change.. If u mean it then at least your wife and daughters won't have to suffer.. Thanks
Kya soch h !!!!!!
@@pinkcreation171 🤣🤣
@indian lad Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah may be
Nice
This is the scene in almost all Telangana houses I have seen my mother doing it many times not only my mother all of the women.... They were like stick to the kitchen all day if you have guest at home... We even didn't have a maid... After all the rituals and parties my father would sit relaxed as if the whole work was done by him... And my mother even at night 1 she used to be still in the kitchen... 😢😢now a days you go for catering.. But during her time... She used to make food for a 100 guest at a time.. But never said she was tired.. She always attended us with a huge smile... I love her and miss her.. Staying far away...in another country... After marriage speaking to your mother freely is also a sin...and is always compared...
Thanks to all the men who were involved in making such a wonderful film 👍
Hope others, who do not or cannot see the world from a woman's point of view, would change their perspective.
And also to the men who are able to applaud this short 👏
If you are angry and choose not to speak, this is how you breathe. Awesome acting by Shefali (y)
Bipin Pandey on point
Bilkul sahi farmaaya Pandey ji..... Bit off topic, I used to refer people with Pandey surname as Pandey.... but then "OFFICE OFFICE" taught me its always Pandey Ji.... :P
Just goosebumps as the woman sat on the chair with the juice in her hand staring at the men in disappointment...
Shefaliji's eyes and the violin score! Heartbreaking!!
I always wanted to see a stuff like this after observing it in reality thanks for making it❤
men "gossiping" about big things whereas women are actually "doing" things
Ocean Javelin if you listen to their conversation they mention that there is a woman in the office who actually has organized the office and does things. So not true that they do things in office. Moreover nowhere in their life it’s shown that the guy does things at work and helps on other days with family, Home etc. it’s bullshit theory. Try spending 8 hours with bickering children and loads of housework etc. easy part is sitting at some desk doing some paperwork
Mstalwarts hawk's eye
And then they say that women are better at gossiping..

Love you mummy ❤️
So you are saying that u are proud abt it?
@@brendanadar4588 No I was telling my mom didn't able to do so.. but still tolerating so many shit so that's why I wrote at last "love u Mum" it's related to all mum there.. love and respect.

Thanks 4 writing dear on my comment by the way. ❤️
@abhishek kumar thats awesome❤
But why didn't you help her to do this ?? If you are proud of her , you should make sure that she too should too be proud of you by making her comfortable .
This short film is a masterclass in storytelling through visuals and minimal dialogue. Shefali Shah delivers a phenomenal performance, bringing to life the inner turmoil of a woman bound by traditional roles. The stark contrast between the lively party and the stifling kitchen highlights the oppressive heat of both the stove and societal expectations. 'Juice' is a strong reminder of the need to change gender dynamics within our homes. A powerful and essential watch for everyone.
What a portrayal. Story expressed a lot without saying anything.
That final glare by Shefali Shah. Damn! Goosebumps!
True👍
The patriarchy is soo deep rooted in the system is soo hard to even see. Its soo normalised that no one even sees what's wrong with it
You are absolutely right. Some men don’t even realize this is wrong, and we women have to bear the brunt of their callous attitude
U r absolutely right.i hate this gender difference system.
If mother's are discriminating between son and daughter then definitely the society will never change. We should teach same lessons to our son and daughter both.
Just a simple scene of sitting in front of a cooler with the "gents", yet it means so much more.
We appreciate boys for washing their own plate(or even we appreciate them for picking it up) so why can't we appreciate women for keeping the whole house clean, taking care of kids, making food for everyone, handling relatives' dramas?
Yes,true that.
Because women are taken for granted to do this as part of their dna
Yes my mom nvr appreciate me just orders.. Bt say thank you beta to my brother.. Whenever he just picks the plate n put it to basin
Why can't boys handle relatives and take care of kids. Both should help
@@rubym252 well its the opposite in my house I do everything and my sister just sits and barks orders at me.But I'm okay with it as she's young. But both men and women need to be self dependent.
So many small subtle details and perfect ending. Kudos to the writer!
U r married too
What's the meaning of kudos?
@@abinahsahoo8135 kudos means shut the fuck up.
@@abinahsahoo8135 KUDOS has similar meaning as CONGRATULATIONS for a certain work or achievement 👍👍
सच में,इस लघुकथा ने हमे कुछ और ज्यादा सोचने पर मजबूर कर दिया है।
Unpopular Fact :-
We see this almost everywhere happens to our Moms, sisters, Wife, friend but the sad part is We don't realise until some brilliant director makes short film on it
I loved this. The perpetuating cycle of privilege and patriarchy...from the fathers to the children - how the girl must eat after her brothers. How the women are victims and yet perpetuate the cycle - the steel glass to the maid being a case in point. Barkha's voice is the background that her being a strong woman is one of the key reasons for Hillary's unpopularity and then the men refer to her dismissively as Bill Clinton's wife. The remark by the man that his pregnant wife does nothing all day, the host's unconscious disregard for his wife's urgent plea re: the fan (he'd rather discuss dysentry), the priviledge of the space - the men get the prime space and the women, the kitchen...so many nuances in 12 min. Bravo!!! Such a fabulous ending - the quiet and yet poignant act of rebellion, her husband's initial anger and finally sheepishness when fixed with her stare.
Shwetasree Majumder Your command over English language is top notch. Are you an English professor or done Masters in English? I really admire & revere your scale of vocabulary. Good job.🙌
oh my god. You made it understand every things so well. U noticed the small petty things as well
specifically that little grl....whoz unknowingly getting prepared by her mother for the future....
reminds me of myself!!
Pooja Chaurasia Most importantly her depth of English language expression.
this is what feminism and gender equality about. mentality and so called tradition.
it is an unhealthy tradition to pass on, the little girl experience and the way the little boy threatened her, the husbands and the male relatives (the conversation context), the husband and wife treatment, the women with the tradition and belief practices (which she didn't explain to her daughter), the way the maid was treated (just because she was a lower class labor), and social expectation and judgment (married or not married, have children or no children).
India or not India, Chinese, western and other Asian countries. Women, Men, Children.
such a powerful short film! i look forward for more film like this
Elly Tam this indeed is what feminism is, we support your cause fully
Elly Tam ....my dad too
I hv read many people can relate this in their own house.. im feeling proud my family that it was never a scene here.. even we belong to middle classs below average people..
Notice how there's this common notion throughout that woman don't work, they sit leisurely or in another words woman should constantly keep working, running around, mtlb relax mat karo bilkul bhi. First instance is, all men are sitting and eating all the food and literally gossiping (but that will be termed discussion), laughing having fun. It's manju who's cleaning their mess. All the ladies are sweating in hot kitchen, but it's manju only who's refilling water in cooler for men, mtlb woh log khud ka khaya saaf nhi kar sakte, naahi khud ke liye paani bharenge. Whenever she asked help for fan, he ignored it. Another instance when the last guy says ki waise bhi ghar pe baith ke kya karti, yahan haath bata dengi, kuch banao jaake, mtlb she's already pregnant, usko rest nhi chahiye hoga kya. Uss condition mein bhi ghode ki tarah daudti rahe. Those men are not even handling kids. Constantly just giving out orders as if all the women are sitting leisurely and ye log kitne busy hai ki inki seva nhi ho rahi. Baith ke bas thoos rahe hain and so called discussion kar rahe hain which is basically bitching and gossiping only. But because they are men toh discussion kehlayega and if they're woman toh chugli. I feel blessed to be in my family jahan sab mil baant ke hum gathering karte hai... It's never like ki ladies kitchen mein and men are eating and talking, sab sath baith ke khate hai baatein karte hai❤
This short movie has depicted the perfect example of class antagonism for equality. They are as follows:-
a) The women class is struggling against the men .
b) The lower class (represented by the maid) is struggling against the higher class (represented by these home makers) by not giving the tea in a same cup and
c) The plantation of distinction of struggle and conflict between male and female at their very young growing age by the children.
But the harsh reality is only some can able to make a change (like this woman) and others won't as they don't know about it (like the Small girl) and other who knows but cannot do anything (like the maid).
Beautifully explained and highly commendable.
Respect
Well said
Well detailed
And male smoking and drinking considered as normal
The last scene alone where Shefali sits in front of the air condition with the expression on her face speaks a million words without a single dialogue is so bloody amazing it has left me speechless! WHAT A BRILLIANT ACTRESS!! truly a treasure of Indian cinema. Filmfare well deserved
Rahul vinal Narayan thats cooler
Yeah that was cooler
Omg!! I really felt it ..also i see such secnario at my house too also can see frustration of my mom, she don't get that happy as she hears about family or realative gathering..nd i can feel yarr🥺 lot's of strength to all women..we bow🙌🙏❤️
Damnnnnnnnnn. The TEARS in her eyes in the end...... am speechless........... Man ya'll need to respect your MOTHER, WIFE, DAUGHTER, SISTER. WOMEN in general. Not just the one's who are in your family but outside as well. Cooking is no JOKE. I know it's not just about cooking, it's about self respect and self worth and how they are disrespecting women in front of WOMEN. It's about respecting WOMEN. It's about respecting one an other.
Very well said.
Yes it is about that. However, it’s about equality and not just “respect.” True respect would mean men would share half the load in every aspect: chores, raising children and wouldn’t think they own their daughters or wives. This is the only way to ensure women get true independence and respect in society: when they don’t have to answer to their husbands and their partners know it’s 50/50; and when daughters aren’t treated different from sons. Men aren’t gods gift to humans. We need to instill that in ourselves and our children.
Disrespecting women in front of women...no words yaar.. don't know what to say
great lines...evn the lines of Era
The point of this short film wasn't only about respect. It was about men doing their share of work around the house.
This film makes me so angry. This is the reality in almost all middle class households in India. To hell with Patriarchy.
Men can't operate without a support system. In my opinion most patriarchs are very insure people. Why do you think men invite guests home only when they have someone at home to put food on the table.
Petriarchy comes from MANUSAMRITI ..AND BHRAMINICAL SYSTERM ENCOURAGE THIS SYSTEM ..
Not only India, the whole Indian subcontinent

Thank you appa.
This short powerfully and veraciously depicts the broken-conventional Indian household.
So much is said with eyes, without the use of words. I had heard that 'the eyes do the talking' on multiple occasions before but understood it's real meaning today.
The way in which we all discriminate against women since childhood, the different rules we apply, the type of chores we assign and expect them to do is the core point of concern, in my opinion and it should be worrying to everyone.
I believe in equality in all aspects and try my level-best to apply it in my life and in the way I handle my siblings.
My parents are wise, no doubt about that, but in some cases they lack clarity or can't relate to, so I try my best to explain to them in simple terms and sensitize them on various relevant topics. I bring a new perspective to the things they've been used to and they're like, "Yeah, I hadn't thought about it like that. True!"
Another thing people missed here is how some people treat maids! 6:10 the other lady pulled out a broken glass for the maid! Why? How would we feel if in our work place boss drinking tea in a cup and given the employee a broken glass... Things we should think about!!
Yes. A lot of feminazis are out here hitting on men, that is okay but they should look also how they treat the other women.
Yes, that was a very subtle yet powerful bit. We should treat the didi like a human being. She works for you, but she is no slave and deserves as much dignity and respect as you would expect for urself.
👍🏽
This was a great observation, even women arent saints, if they treat the help with such prejudice. I loved the movie, it shows inequality to deep levels.
This is so true.
I remembered my mother and wife while watching this! I have been so insensitive! Shame on me! Has been an eye opener this film! ☹️😪
Karthik Natarajan And this is what this short film intends to do. If everyone realizes this then we don't need such shorts.
you are south indian and have the courage to see your faults. most north indians commenting here dont even want to admit it let alone try to correct it. and they are 1000 times more exploitative than south indians.
So now u help them?
Arunil Jaiswal I do....I clean the utensils after dinner, I iron the clothes for the week, dry the clothes and fold them and sort them post drying, mop the house during weekends. Still these chores are way too less compared to what the ladies do, but I still make it a point to do these religiously
