PHOOL (flower) PUSHPA (flower) Deepak's village: SOORAJMUKHI (A flower) The bus Deepak takes to his village: PUSHPA TRAVELS (Flower) Flower: A symbol of tenderness, innocence or purity. This symbol of innocence and purity is spread throughout the village life in the film. Phool's husband: DEEPAK (lamp/ a source of light) Pushpa's husband: PRADEEP (lamp/ a source of light) A lamp can either guide you through darkness or it can burn you. Deepak is a guiding force, a ray of hope for both Phool and Pushpa in their darkest times. While Pradeep burnt his ex-wife to death. (One lamp showed the way, the other burnt down a life) Pushpa's real name: JAYA (victorious) Jaya is a rebel at heart. But, because of the social and gender expectations, she is forced to be soft, and tender like a flower ( PUSHPA). Jaya especially mentions the dish made of lotus stems. She consumes a dish made of flowers ( Kamal Kakdi). She symbolically consumes her tenderness her softness, and the flowery side of her character. She rebels against the social norms and expectations such as taking her husband's name and running away from her marriage to pursue her education. She strives to be VICTORIOUS. Name of the police officer: SHYAM MANOHAR SHYAM: Dark, Black ( one name of Lord Krishna) MANOHAR: Lovable, one who wins our heart (another name of Lord Krishna) In the first part of the movie Shyam Manohar is shown as corrupt, and a greedy officer. Showing the dark side of his character. Thus, he is SHYAM. In the second half, Shyam Manohar wins our hearts by taking the right step by saving Jaya from her husband. Thus, he becomes MANOHAR. This shows the dual nature of power and judiciary. It can be dark and mischievous but it can also be very beautiful. These are some interesting things I observed after watching the film. This is a purely subjective observation and can vary from person to person. 🌼

FUN FACT - in 1951 during India's first general election 2.8 million women couldn't vote because they didn't give their own name while registering to vote. Election commissioner sukumar sen said "these women simply refused to give their proper names in the electoral rolls and insisted that they be identified as A's mother, B's wife etc"

That sounds like a sad fact but also funny. Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you should loose your identity but that’s exactly what happens to these rural girls. And unfortunately, it is masqueraded under a selfless gesture by society. No, it’s just idiotic. You won’t see a guy do this. Why ? Cause they don’t feel their identity is shameful or useless.

@@pranavjadhav18 I agree. As we know, movies often mix a bit of reality with a generous dash of fiction and exaggeration. That being said, you shouldn't underestimate the power of culture and tradition-they can be as sticky as movie theater floors! Here's another quirky tidbit from my culture to add to your collection. My sisters wouldn't dare venture to the bathroom if my father was in sight. Picture this: my father, perched on a chair in the yard on a sunny day, deeply engrossed in his newspaper or puffing away at a cigarette. The path to the bathroom? Right past him. So, rather than brave the gauntlet, my sisters would hold it in-sometimes to the point of agony. They'd rather face excruciating pain than take that walk of shame past my father! Sometimes, I played the hero, tiptoeing to my father to coax him from his chair so the poor girls could finally make a break for the loo. Respect for dad was that intense back then. Nowadays, though, such extreme deference is going the way of dial-up internet-thankfully less common!

My heart is so full after seeing Kiran's such soulful sincere film. Cried like a baby. And seeing a packed house brings back the hope and faith in Hindi cinema and its audience. Beautiful writing, sincere and honest performances. Bliss

In many culture it is believed that the husband life decreases if his wife calls him by his name. Also in older days husband used to be much older than the wife so it was considered disrespectful to call someone older by their name.

This makes me so happy!!! Even my dad, one of the harshest film critics ever, said that he watched a good movie for the first time in a long time... This movie is so damn heartfelt and sweet!!!

Just watched "Laapataa ladies". The movie is Simply Superb. The scene between Deepak & Phool in the farm just took it to the next level. He is so vulnerable in that scene and yet he goes ahead with it. The Overall narrative & storyline is so good. This movie is much much better than the big budget South Indian movies and their remakes which have no sense in them - just big loud music, over the top action & tons of over acting. No nuance at all. It is high time that audiences start valuing & supporting quality cinema over big budget loud movies with over the top acting.

React Manjummel Boys Biggest blockbuster movie of the year. Budget of 20 cr and collect 240 cr at box office

Watch manjummel Boys

Beautiful movie - satire on regressive customs. It's absolutely hilarious to see the passive defensive comments about many of these customs. It still exists in many parts of the country 2001 was just 20+ years ago. One sheep even blamed the Mughals and British for the veil culture because apparently India is the land of kamasutra like the whole of India read that and practiced it. It's a very nicely done social satire which makes you think and question customs that don't have a place in modern societies. It's not a movie to make you defensive and blame others for it - it's a call for self introspection. I will get bombarded by hate comments because of my first name. That's okay - I'm used to it. Twenty years later another movie will be made about this decades defensiveness and blame game culture. God bless you all with the grace of wisdom

I watched this movie in theatre then again on Netflix a week ago and couldn't stop crying both the times. Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan makes such wonderful movies. While watching I was reminded of Peepli Live which also showcases "Bharat" or the Indian Heartland stories of an Indian living in rural india and just like this it was also a satirical movie. You guys should react to Peepli Live next.

It's a beautiful movie.

After a long time we get a 10/10 movie. I loved it that much.

I found this movie through your review!! I loved your reactions and comments. It was quite refreshing to see western reactions to Indian culture! I’m an Indian American and I can resonate with both cultures. India is an incredibly diverse land where food and language change sometimes every 100 kilometers, for example! It is also the oldest but still living civilization on the planet and therefore, you’ll see extreme and large differences in beliefs, customs, and practices all coexisting and many times within the same household. It can be quite confusing to an outsider. Urban India can be extremely modern meaning Americanized, for example.

It's so funny how they think every vehicle with 3 wheels is a rickshaw.

I watched this movie on Sunday in cinema.

Such an outstanding film❤

Yess it is based on a true story

I like THIS side of Bollywood always..

It's not as simple as you thinking. Women were forced to practice these customs, unless society would call them uncultured or bad girls. Here you yourself given example of boss. So, your example also conclude that husband is boss in a relationship, and wife is just a worker or servant. This is why these kinds of movies were made to rectify bad practices in society of Indian culture and religion.

Not taking husband's name is not cultural thing it's uneducated, dominating things imposed on women ...also associated with respect to husband in male dominated society ...

I instantly knew that this movie will hit all the sweet spots of Indians. Kudos to such stories showing simple, original, INDIAN, India. ♥️

Feel-great movie.... all the way 😃😃

Oo I like this movie so much I watched it on Netflix … superb ❤

That's one of the classical music

MASTERPIECE 🎉

Phool and Jaya were shown as strikingly opposite in the movie through their characteristics, reactions and even the police inspector also said to deepak while arresting jaya, tum Phool ki jagah kaanta le aaye, hum nikaal diye (You brought a thorn instead of a flower, I've removed it.) But one thing which both can commonly feel is FREEDOM which is shown through sunshine Phool (at the Train Gate, while returning) and Jaya(at the Bus Window) 🌤🌤 This analogy sums up the movie and the message it is serving to the audience that no matter what your background is, ambition is, nature, personality, every women has a Thirst AND Right to her Freedom. A very well Crafted Masterpiece. It'll be a Cult for sure! ❤❤ After all it's AAMIR KAHN PRODUCTIONS.
