Directed by Minkie Spiro, this documentary film follows a small group of women from India through their struggles to reach the finals of Femina's Miss India contest and captures their lives on and off the stage. For three months the girls will sleep, eat and breathe nothing but Miss India.
The potential rewards are colossal: one of these coveted crowns can transform these young women into goddesses courted by Bollywood, wooed by India's fabulously wealthy elite and adored by millions. A large part of Miss India's success is down to Femina, the Mumbai-based women's magazine, which operates the contest like a well-oiled machine, grooming young women under an iron-tight regime of discipline and rigid rules. Following the efforts of several of the contestants, as well as others involved in the behind-the-scenes work of getting everyone ready, this film examines what drives the women toward this particular goal.
The fashion industry is as grimy as it is glamorous. Give us your valuable opinion in the comment section, and if you think more people should watch this documentary about beauty pageants, share it on social media and with your friends and family. Be sure to follow us for more updates.

Medha is so naive, she thinks gratuitous cursing & smoking make her cool. Her parents are going to be so unhappy when they see this.

Beautiful women! Unfortunate they’re so caught up in Western beauty standards, coupled with traditional expectations from their culture seems extremely unrealistic and toxic however, they’re juggling it all magnificently!

Yes, this can get toxic not just among beauty contestants about even in our daily lives.
It’s sad how they went to look more like ⚪️ women. Darker skin is so beautiful and just exotic. I’m a black women and as a kid, I used to hate having dark skin and I hated my hair texture. Now, I’m most proud of my hair and my skin. I love the features that set me apart and I wish others saw the same beauty I see in non-Euro features

Brits might have started it but Indians perpetuate it. Indians speak badly about the British empire and yet keep it alive everyday with colourism, castism, slavery and dowry.
if you knew that the person you loved was a criminal what would you do? If I found out that someone I loved was involved in criminal activities, I would likely feel conflicted and concerned. My actions would depend on the severity of the situation and the specific circumstances involved. I might consider having an open and honest conversation with the person to understand their perspective and reasons, while also encouraging them to consider the consequences of their actions. If the situation posed harm to others or was against my personal values, I might also consider seeking professional advice or involving the appropriate authorities. Ultimately, my response would be guided by my sense of ethics, responsibility, and care for the well-being of both the person I love and those affected by their actions.
Beauty contests are the most stupid way to treat women. Talking, walking, eating, self presentation, robs individuality to some standard that beauty business thinks sells. Purely idiotic. I truly wished these are banned across the world. Hope some show teaches people how to be more authentic to yourself and own yourself.

Exactly, truly a bad representation of being a woman and human, thankfully she didn't win, lot of negativity in her I am sure with that attitude and airhead she must be a nobody today. But I agree with her point on Neha, Neha Dhupia was definitely the blue eyed girl it seems, she was given lot of priority. Btw some of these girls are smoking, using F words, are blatantly talking about the virginity question needn't be posed to them, crazily acting in the hotel room with no discipline and glasses and bottles of liquor, and on stage they go like "We should have morals, ethics, honesty, compassion, love, dignity...and all positive adjectives to come across as some saint or philanthropist. Huge hypocrisy...utter shameful.

If the Miss India contest can be termed as the Meat Market, every national level and international beauty pageants are also that. They are beauty contests linked to commercial gain in some or the other way! Body beauty is one of the most important criteria. The boldness and the smartness of the girls out there on the stage is the only thing I personally can appreciate. How many really live up to the statements they make while winning? No offence meant, just my personal opinion.

She is not honest just negative. People who say positive stuff are not sugar coating it they genuinely have a nice soul in a nice body. People like Medha have a good exterior but a terrible interior thats exposed in competitions like this. I don't think she is genuine and honest she is just miserable, negative and needs to heal.
What interested me personally is the boosting of confidence these girls get and lot of coaching with international standards. However what stands out is that fact that many Indian women and beautiful than any of these cat walkers on stage. Many women who represent India is not even considered beautiful at all. They are just average or below in beauty, but confidence of these girls after coaching they get is tremendous

Start lifting women up, stand tall & beautiful together. Beauty is in everyone there is not one type of beauty. And thank goodness for that otherwise imagine how dull the world would be if we were all cookie cutter look a likes
Beauty pageantries talks about Women Empowerment, yet some ends in high class meat industry.

You can find these issues in all business that involves commission. Their incentives comes from the sales and many middle men plant themselves in between those sales to make money which drive up the costs.
Fashion is not bad , looking good or appearing pleasant is not bad. Fashion has nothing to do with monstrous hideous hineous humans crimes to make it the subject of existence. Fashion actually is the human achievements in the art of its appearance on the fabric of Life. How, it relates reflects the growth of humans.

Am surprised how this video is trying to stain “India’s” image by picking up old videos and sharing a biased few interviews of some immature girls. Do you think this is any better elsewhere. Am settled in italy and the craze to have e perfect face and body is far more evident in western countries than in India. Indian women even now aim to reach top levels in all sectors, which were dominated by men in past. Why isn’t that mentioned? I see a lot more women in india holding top end positions than most Italian or other European companies. Why is that so? The west continues to feel “superior” by sharing such videos. But dear all.. that won’t change the reality of true India. Jai Hind 🙏
I dont think these women end up marry their boyfirends 😂

Your cultural bias is showing. Kindly allow these women the dignity of knowing what's best for themselves and try to understand that DIVERSITY is a good thing. Listen to the woman - 27:19 & try respecting her choice. Edit: Imo, Women's Lib is a shit-show. On principle, denigrating girls like these & claiming a stripper is a respectable "liberated" woman. Why they work against their own sex I don't know. By Women's own choice, they're even letting trans MEN win women's competitions & Woman of the Year for different organizations & publications. THAT is disgusting! Accept women for what we are. We have earned the right to do as we please in the West, and I'm sick of the bullying by other women to be androgynous. I'm a GIRL. I bet you hate that, lol.

It was an interesting video but it's obvious that in India they want to look like the vestern countries. I think all women has her own beauty. As an European woman I have to let you know that most women dress very well and not like the comment in this video that women in this part of the world dress bad it's a very negative attitude and it's not even true. As a matter of fact indian women show much more of their skin there wearing short tops showing their stomach you rarely see this here. Personally I don't like it at all seeing women being exploited and have to look in a certain way to be accepted. That itself is damaging for the self-esteem.

Whats surprising is that those women that were showcased in this video are no where that beautiful as they are projected to be.
Yet nobody ever complained about hugh heffner
They look traumatized
The white supremacy behind making this video 😂 what was ur thought? To prove Indian women aren't good enough and hv to go through a rigorous grooming process to win at peagants? Like everyone else? I mean whats the point of singling out Indian women? Also that Medha girl was just tripping obviously there are genuinely nice honest loving women who are also intelligent and good looking. She wasn't suitable. Look at Sushmita, Lara , Aishwarya, Priyanka all of them are smart beautiful women who made a global impact.

This show isn't meant for the poor people who work hard to earn daily living, it is meant for the lustful filthy rich who like to see, touch and sleep with beautiful girls. When God created you beaitiful, don't thank Him by becoming a sexual tool for some filthy ones who never feel full of sex. True , the prizes are very tempting especially for the poor girls but the Godly prizes we will get from God are beyond imagination. Don't be a tool and a slave in someone's hand and be a true believer of God to enjoy your life and deserve His Paradise.
