Bollywood has found a safe haven on the streaming platforms and is hell bent upon exploring themes that were earlier either forbidden or had no takers. After the huge success of ‘Vicky Donor’, a film about sperm donation, a number of so-called taboo subjects have found their way into mainstream narratives. ‘Shubh Mangal Savdhan’ on erectile dysfunction, ‘Padman’ on menstrual hygiene and ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’ on gender diversities, to name a few.
In the latest, ‘Chhatriwali’, the themes are male contraceptives and safe sex. No harm in dealing with a subject that may not be still discussed openly in families, although everyone seems to be aware of condoms in big and small towns alike.
Set in Karnal, Haryana, the film is about Sanya Dhingra (Rakul), an unemployed chemistry whiz, who is looking for a job and uses her skills to fight an important social taboo by taking sex education classes for young people.

Akshay Oberoi makes a promising debut. He will obliviously get better with more films. Sandeepa Dhar is decent considering it’s her first film. Monish Behl is good. Prachi Shah is impressive. Salman Khan’s cameo is nice. All the other cast members play their part well.Not exactly full of life, Isi Life Mein turns out to be a mediocre effort in the end.

Cast: Akshay Oberoi, Sandeepa Dhar, Mohnish Bahl, Prachee Shah Paandya; Director: Vidhi Kasliwal; Rating: 2.5 ouf of 5.
Debutant director Vidhi Kasliwal has clearly made this film under the strong influence of her uncle Sooraj Barjatya who coined his own syntax of cinema – of platonic romance and marriage ceremonies. The script is pretty hackneyed and therefore predictable. But the setting, cast and the music is refreshing – making up somewhat – for the moth-eaten plot. Rajnandini (Sandeepa).

Did the break help?Oh, yes! I had worked till the eighth month of my pregnancy. The make-up artistes and my costume guys did a great job. No one could tell that I was pregnant. However, I looked swollen while shooting for Kayamath, where I was playing the lead Panchi Bohra’s mother. Her name in the show was Prachi Shah, coincidentally. Despite being a young mother, you’re again playing someone who’s 20 years older.Actors who entered the industry with me, have either taken on reality shows or their careers have completely taken a backseat. Many are waiting ...
