Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Trailer

The trailer itself gives an idea on how the director tries to explore the depressed layers of our Indian Society which considers women as sexual puppets or reproductive machinery. The film openly discusses the desires and needs that women yearn for both mentally and physically. It also deals with the sexual thirst and scarcity of satisfaction in a male-dominated society. Also, the scene of Kajal and her mother reveals the liberty that women wish to have. Restrictions and repressions make living miserable and annoying, this idea is well established throughout the film. Some scenes are irrelevant to the plot which could be considered as fillers.

Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamkte Sitare- Direction and Screenplay

Alankrita Srivastava who is well known for her film ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’ has taken the effort to strongly express the uselessness of the traditional male dominating belief systems and moral conditioning. The cheesy lines and awkward unwanted sex scenes cut down its quality to be a family entertainer. The financial troubles that Dolly faces to pay her EMI is a reflection of common folks of our society. These facts make the film a relatable one. Though the film has several shortcomings in the script, it comes with the voice that many mothers, wives, or even teenage girls hesitate to talk about.

Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Cast

• Konkona Sen Sharma
• Bhumi Pednekar
• Amir Bashir
• Vikrant Massey

Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Full movie available on Netflix

Both Pednekar and Sen Sharma steal the screen with their stellar performances. The saga of the cousin sisters will surely touch our hearts. Vikrant Massey had a limited screen time still he has done complete justice to his character. Amol Parasher who plays the role of Usman, a delivery boy, and the love interest of Dolly also show satisfactory performance. Bashir hits the point in digging deep into an abusive husband which is quite common in our patriarchal society.

As the title itself suggests, the shine of stars in darkness is a symbolic representation of how the suppressed community rises from ignorance. The frustration, ambition, and sexual drive that modern society faces are effectively presented in the whole storyline. The open and honest conversations between the female leads are thought-provoking. Overallm the film can engage you and can feel a spark on the need for equality in our society.
