There are movies that are made with the intent to
entertain, to make you laugh, cry, whistle and more. And then there are movies
like Lipstick Under my Burkha, that pepper all of these with a dash of
rebellion. Taking on the 'crazies' who think they're the guardians of
women.
Movies like Lipstick Under My Burkha are rare
phenomenons, so rare that they deserve more than the accolades bestowed on it,
they deserve to be shown to the world with no discrimination on community,
gender, age or social strata.
To all the women who're constantly being told what
to do, where to go, how to be - here's an answer. It takes balls to be a woman.
NOT!
Women cannot be defined by male paradigms. And
to all the men who are man enough to let women be... Lipstick celebrates that
very spirit.
After a 6 month battle with the censor board, after
sweeping 10 awards internationally, Lipstick Under My Burkha finally hits
theatres on 21st July!
The film 'they' didn't want you to watch. 'They'
called it - 'audio pornography', 'sexually contagious' and deemed it 'too lady
oriented'.
While the chuckles from this haven't died down,
neither will our voices.
