Angry Indian Goddesses

Movie Review

First of all, each of the actors was brilliant. 


Second of all, there was a tightly edited script that did not let you look at your popcorn. 


It began with quite a bang with each goddess showing her capabilities, not as sexual objects as the men would want them to be, but as individuals who could take charge.

We have a photographer, a businesswoman, an activist, a singer, a housewife, a maid, a struggling actress and a little girl. Friends gathered to celebrate a marriage and each one helps in building the story of the angry goddesses. 

I loved the way so many issues were integrated into this movie. Activism against mining, same sex marriage, legal hassles related to crime, drugs and depression, infertility, women in Hindi movies, single moms and finally rape and murder – each of these issues scorched the screen. The camaraderie and the squabbles among the women livened things up. 


Thank you Pan Nalin for this story, though I would like to know why the image of Kali remained blurred. 


But no matter, our Angry Indian Goddesses took over and gave Evil quite a chase.
