Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022)
Okay, hello people. ๐I really need to start posting the Korean series I said I would. But whenever I want to start, I get overwhelmed and don't know where to start๐ญ๐ญ. Welcome to Chandigarh. You see, this world is
strange. In some parts of the world, women are fighting for the right of the
choice to abort when they want. On the other side, some women are fighting,
even running away from home, getting beaten up and murdered, to prevent their
babies from being murdered, remember Secret Superstar?
Am I also the only one
that noticed that depending on the side of the divide you are, it could be a
‘baby’ or a ‘bunch of cells’? Talk about interpretation, meaning and value.
In this movie, there’s a
couple. When they were children, the families agreed to do an arranged marriage
custom for when the children are matured. Family A’s son, Dave marries Family
B’s daughter, Sarah and Family B’s son, Nick marries Family A’s daughter, Lolo.
Then whatever happens to any of the children will happen to the other set. For
example, if Dave slaps Sarah, Sarah must tell her parents who will instruct
Nick to slap Lolo.
Back to the story, our
protagonists are married with a nine-year old daughter. The wife is currently
pregnant and they are all praying for a boy. A first-born daughter is
forgivable but after that, never. So, they have had 6 abortions. They did
ultrasounds and found they were girls and ended them. Well, the grandparents commanded it and the husband has never done anything they didn't approve of.
The doctor says the wife
is too weak for an abortion and she can’t ascertain the child’s gender at that time
but tells the husband in private that it is a girl. Not wanting his wife to
abort this one, they go on the run to a village where they used to abort all
female children and now have none, Ladoopur, because abused or threatened women
are taken care of there.
The grandparents (Grandpa
is the village chief) find out the child is a girl and put out a bounty on the
wife’s head and will do anything to end this baby before she is born. It’s
seriously shocking.
As with all Indian
movies, it’s packed and quite lengthy so I’ll stop here #aslittlespoilersaspossible. I’m tired of typing as
well. It’s been a while I was in school and I’m not used to brain work no more,
guys.
Watch the movie, it’s
worth it. Comedy is on point, emotion was delivered on all sides and the lead
actor is Deepika Padukone’s husband - Ranveer Singh, the lead in Simmba and the evil
king in Padmaavat. Also 2 quite lovely movies.
Thanks for your time,
guys, I appreciate it.
Check out Laila Majnu,
Tutak Tutak Tutiya, Raanjhana as well. 3 different movies with great stories.
P.S. I'm thinking about uploading only twice a week so this place doesn't get clogged. What's your view?
