Stupendous| Mix of humor & thrill| Indian women setting free|

[9/10 · 3 November 2015]

Well, I was fortunate enough to watch this movie in Mumbai Film Festival which I believe was the first screening in India. The movie portrays the dichotomy as to how the people in India have preconceived notions about women in general and the 21st century women setting itself free from such prevalent credence. The movie begins with friends getting together after a long time for the reason initially unknown and later revealed as woman's bachelors party before Freida gets married. The friends later learn some astounding facts which makes the movie more exhilarating while raising some paramount questions against the prevailing system in India. The movie revolves around the chronicles of each character's personal life and how they forget their individual despairs and banalities while they hang out in Goa. The second half of the movie takes an unanticipated change which takes the recourse of begrudge and retribution. The movie is juxtaposition of humor; Thrill; Resentment among Indian women against the conventional system; Vindication; Courage; Love and Friendship!
