- Manju Singh ( #ShefaliShah) and her husband are hosting a get-together of families on a really warm night. Between the snacks, drinks and the laughs, something completely unexpected happens. Watch #JUICE, a powerful #shortfilm written and directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. Now playing. #theselectones
Synopsis:
"Juice," a short film directed by #NeerajGhaywan starring the talented Shefali Shah, is a thought-provoking short film that delves into the subtle dynamics of gender roles within Indian households. Set on a particularly warm evening, Manju Singh (played by Shefali Shah) and her husband are hosting a get-together for their friends and family. The gathering is filled with #laughter, #snacks, and #drinks, but beneath the surface, tensions simmer.
Manju, like many women, finds herself relegated to the sweltering kitchen, managing the food and drinks while the men comfortably enjoy themselves in the living room in this short film. The contrast between the two spaces becomes a powerful visual metaphor for the gender divide. As the evening progresses, the oppressive heat in the kitchen mirrors Manju's growing frustration and sense of confinement.
The climax of the #film is both unexpected and deeply impactful. Manju's quiet rebellion against the ingrained patriarchal norms is a moment of liberation that resonates powerfully with the #audience. "Juice" is not just a short film; it's a statement about the often-overlooked struggles and silent strength of #women portrayed by Shefali Shah.

This is so relatable. When I was a child, I was told to leave plates after eating. My sisters would collect the plates of my father and mine. As a child, it never bothered me. It was the norm. But as I grew up, I began to understand that it was so wrong. Women are always treated like slaves. Now I do all my chores myself. I am learning to cook as well. And I will definitely share household chores with my future wife.
Glad you had that realisation😊 More power to you.
Yes even in my house I was told to pick my brother's plate after dinner but then later on I insisted him to pick up his own dishes and plates
Great mentality..😊
Wow broo.. Your mind is as beautiful as your face💓💓
That is a nice thought. May you be blessed with an equally understanding wife.
During my college days my papa used to force me to help my sister to put the washed plates and utensils on shelf. He also instructed me to do various household activities which i didnt liked. But somehow it became my habit to keep my house clean and tidy. Thank you papa for giving me right teachings. My wife is happy as we together are doing the household work.
Its our sanskaar that decide our behaviour and our life in the long run. pls dont change ever. say thanks from me to uncle ji.
♥♥♥
❤️❤️❤️
Ur father would feel happy if you say this to him 😍

Yes Ram. Parents are our real teachers.
The way Manju sat in the chair with a glass of juice near a cooler looking at all the men in the room was an invisible slap to all of them!

The reason I liked the ending is because Manju goes and sits next to the cooler in the end. Without saying a word to her husband or any of his male guests. She sits there, breathing heavily...drinking the cold juice and just breathing. It's a silent slap to the husband who forgot about the fan. A silent slap to all the male guests who are now forced to wonder how their wives are coping inside the kitchen.
And perhaps it was not the audacity of Manju but the realisation of their actions which caused everything to go so silent in that room.
But Why didn't they purchase one more cooler ?? Flipkart Amazon par itne offer chalte rhte hai ..
@@anonymousagni2 you clearly know the cooler was not the point, and yet you're asking such a dumb question on these comments
The worst was that the other ladies also didn't help her in finishing the kitchen chores. They were busy gossiping
So we'll explained, not her audacity, realization of their actions,
But girls should only clean , cook and spread her legs that's what I believe....tell me If I am wrong 🤨!!
The girl was told to serve the plates and the boys were left to play.. strong message, totally loved the story and the writer.

Oh great! Your mom must have felt proud of you👍
I did the same. As my mother had been doing these things for our cousins for last 25 years. Though my father helped my mom as much as e could with the household but he wasn't left with any choice either
Rishita it takes alot of courage to do this and I am glad you could do it. I would also like to add that I come from a family where any of this doesn't happen and I will make sure that it doesn't ever happen.

When people said women are weak and low and exhausted generally
This is what I see, 24/7they are in front of gas stove, closed room with lack of oxygen, making them lethargic due to no fresh air, lifting heavy vessels, burning hands in hot oil and rotis, and still living with the burn wounds, having shortness of fresh breathe in a suffocation filled hot room, wet body with large stream of salt water (sweat) flowing all over body, do not have freedom to lift up the top or dress even in feont of lady mates and wipe the excess sweat amd take air, Total top to bottom, left to right thick fabric clothing in name of fake modesty to further trap that excess heat inside her body and skin making her 'Body organs' function slowly and bring her lethargy (excess heat bring weakness and lethargy and dehydration), no view in front of eyes except steams out of cooker, gas and oil pans, etc. (Makes a person's mood further depressed), women doing all these heavy works with a hidden 'Stress and fear' in minds that what if men and kids don't like our food taste , will we have to make it again, a stressed mind results in compromised physical health. After, food is cooked, she does heavy work of carrying all heavy vessels and tongs and hot jars to living room and constantly attending orders of men on table like a waiter in hotel with a hidden 'Fire in belly'. The men and kids gobble food like greedy, leaving behind less tidbits and leave to sleep or chat , women washing and cleaning men's soiled , saliva-plaited dishes with vim, and keeping back in dish racks , till that their appetit has GONE due to physical exhaustion as (digestion is internal labour), and they silently and unexpressively sit on ground taking own plates, and serving those leftover tidbits (forget abt balanced diet, its tidbits after men and kids ate) and eat alone with no GIGGLING, laughing, watching tv or not having a 'HAPPY feast'and no men or child gies to talk and entertain them or serve them and ask them 'Was your hunger fulfilled with thise tiny todbits and leftover cold meal pieces?'
And LO ! All the tidbits unfortunately are LOST in monthly bleeding periods, again rendeeing her malnourished and anaemic and weak.
While if its a married woman , when after the hungry and weak and tired woman returns in a bedroom in myth that she will relax at least an hour full, she is many times forced by horny husband to sleep chupchap on back while bending knees on bed, in a woman in bottom like a submiisive 'Object' , speechless, energy less and ofc with no libido with all the malnourishment of day, while full bellied, enthusiastic and empathyless husband jumps like a beast on her in name of 'Husband's need, physical relations and traditional wife's duty'.

They did a really good job at playing with the sounds, from the very beginning, the background sounds of utensils and men talking loudly, it did a really good job at making me feel suffocated.
And when she came out in front of the men, the music turned it into a very soothing and breathable environment.
In the beginning, when the camera follows the ladies in the kitchen, took us from that narrow corridor to the women's world, like an air pocket in a cave.
Nicely explained
Well said
How beautifully explained ❣️
So nicely expressed 😊
Nice observation and description
Shefali is a gem. She didn't need to say a word but she slapped the faces of all that were there. And that look of defiance, amazing.
What a great actress
A good director can make anyone act
The way this short film has portrayed such a real whole picture from even the smallest of actions captured is just mesmerizing. The patriarchy and casteism is so deep rooted in our society that people dont even realize it or just dont wanna admit it no matter how educated and liberal they want to portray themselves
I hadnt noticed the "casteism" aspect till I saw how the maid was served in the metal glass. Very deep rooted which makes us blind to this.
It's the opposite in my family mother, sister, neices neither do house work, nor earn money ,nor outside work except attend get togethers and shop for clothes. They can't do work at home nor get work done with maids can't even keep a maid for a year.
@@70newlife sad life
@@70newlife so your mom doesnt cook??
@@rjb9239 another castist mindset which shows how you assumed maid to be lowered cast
What a powerful work Neeraj Ghaywan!
Few things I admired the most:
1. The dark theme for a "supposed to be" happy get-together. The starting sequence in the beginning conveyed the main message of the film
2. But it was the small scenes in the film said the larger picture and problems in the society. We all have seen this in our families where woman get cooked up in the kitchen and men enjoy the "time-off" in the living room.
3. Shefali Shah is par excellence. Manju's character is so well etched, she is not just furious by her husband who ignored the fan-fixing and other man, but she is furious at the other women too who continue to teach other women to be like them. The steel cup for maid and the lady asking her daughter to feed her brother/s (notice she calls them "bhaiya" so the son is older than the daughter).
4. It not only reflects how men treat woman, but it shows what woman teach other woman/girls when they know it's not right. It also shows the deep casteism and classism in the society, the behavior towards our servants.
5. The music in the end gave me goosebumps
Kudos and utmost respect to all the homemakers!
Dhruv Shah perfectly written. You my mate, stole my words.
Also when the daughter was called to help in serving and the boys were still busy playing
Very well put, Dhruv
Well said, that’s the dark reality of our society.
Dhruv Shah well written
that tear,anger,resistance n pain in her eyes omg shefali ma'am is a gem to bollywood
Actually she is a gem to Bollywood...wat an actress.... excellent !!!
Vaibhav Singh very true
Shefali is a marvellous performer but she is less active since years
She is superb,but not recognize
@@anjanaarora8775 But girls should only clean , cook and spread her legs that's what I believe....tell me If I am wrong 🤨!!
The only person who was actually helping the leading lady is her servant. But when asked for a cup to offer a tea to the servant, the pregnant woman is giving a steel glass... The eyes of that servant at that time was the most painful one, I think, in this whole film...
Then obviously, the climax, brilliant...
Ruby Rose pregnant women ko aise Nahi kerna chahiye na
I think there was a massage behind, that even women is not supporting a woman. ( Tho maid was helping women only ).
So all the time ,its not about any gender... Samay ane par sab apna rang dikha dete hain
It was not good she is same like other ladies
Sabse bada gyan aurat hi aurat ki sabse badi dushman hai .1st 2 Ladies that countered pregnant women.2nd how small girl was treated .3rd how the maid was treated.
this is probably the 20th time I am watching this short film. Never gets old and such a simple yet powerful piece of art.
Absolutely! I am here for the second time but this short film stays in my mind rent free.
I think you are out of work
Hey tmkc
The last portion, where she just sits and gives a look. Her eyes said volumes which even words would not have justified. Thanks for leaving it silent. Such a strong message!!! Wow
Paritosh Jadhav women are capable of working .. nasa,TCs,infosys,isro all have women employees.. so if men don’t work women can do their work but can men do the work women do.. rarely yes.. sadly even no in my own case however I’m only 18 still
Juvina Rewari sexy
+Paritosh Jadhav Actually no. In the situation; it is clearly mentioning that she was forcefully stopped by her husband from working after marriage. And even if she had refused and wait for a husband who "ALLOW" her job still all the household works like making great Indian dishes, changing napkins of children, cleaning toilets&kitchen etc will automatically reserved for the lady of the house
my mother and father both are working... From childhood I have seen my father helping mother in kitchen..though mom is best at cooking ..but father help in other works like cutting vegetables..., washing utensils..., making dough ..etc....He cooks food whenever He gets a holiday, or mom is in office etc... Even my grandmother became a school teacher after marriage. ..so growing in this perspective.... It will be intolerable... for me to be married away to a family with this shit mentality.... better to remain unmarried...
nice concept... nice acting....SUPERB...
@Paritosh Jadhav вc
The way the little boy was so confident in talking with superiority to the girl is evident of the fact that boys are trained to feel superior right from their childhood. This is the reflection of the society that we live in, where the difference in the rules for girls and boys is inculcated right from the childhood. Also women accepting and supporting the unacceptable behavior of men boosts their unnecessary ego, some women do it by choice to look "gharlelu" (couldn't think of another word) while some do it out of fear for facing the consequences should they take a stand. As is rightly said, be the change you want to see, the female protagonist took a stand finally starting a new change for herself. I have lost so many friends, because they still believe in this old school behaviour and me taking a stand did not go down well with them accusing my spouse and myself being unethical. I strongly believe they are definitely among the current 4.1K dislikes and I want to say thank you for making room for practical people in my life.
Your comment is the story of my life. Giving words to my thoughts.
I don't think it was with that attitude the boy spoke. It was rather a "jiski laathi,uski bhaiss" type attitude
same as me....some girls thought they look eligent and portray themselves as bechari
Yes I so agree rn…
Thats bullshit... Go to any house and see the sisters dont take shit from brothers. Dont bring this bs into brother sister relationships
Did anyone notice one of the ladies calling her daughter to serve food for her brothers? That's exactly what is wrong with our culture. Teaching us since childhood that girls need to serve and boys need to be served. I could see my childhood there. and I'm sure many of you too. Please, let us promise ourselves that we wont pass on this discriminating attitude to our next generations.
very true. we need to start raising the boys better than that.
I have just mentioned that in my earlier post, though among bengalees we don’t have this attitude (generally speaking) at all
its the story of almost every household
Roshni Raoof . It was brilliant that they put it there. I could totally connect with this!
Roshni Raoof when I was young I was told girls shouldn't laugh too loudly. I was 8. The world is fucking messed up.
The movie definitely portrays some deep themes beautifully. It starts with the sounds of clanking of utensils, which is then taken over by the laughter of men, symbolizing how the struggles of women are often walked over by the blusters of men. The men boast about having to work in strenuous conditions and we see that the women working in the kitchen are no different. Starting from handling hot contents in the kitchen to trying to repair electrical stuff themselves, the women face it all or mostly. The first few shots are of only one woman serving the men but we are soon shown the grim face of the rest of the women as well. Even the children are not spared from the faults of the patriarchal society. The caste system seeps in when we see that the hostess rubs her dirty hand off her maid's head while she climbs down the stool. Showing the maid rejecting the tea being served in a different glass reflects self-dignity of a person, I believe. Finally, the hostess realizes the flaws of the household system which even involves the children, and she decides to take a stand and face her husband. Only then do we get the sound of the cooler working as if breathing new breath into the household - men realizing their hypocrisy and women taking their stand. And not to forget all the beautiful lines, especially those comparing Hillary and Trump.
Can anyone tell me what is the relevance of juice here ?
@@debolinabhattacharya9801 I suppose it's a symbolic representation of women taking the reins of their lives in their own hands... taking up the courage to neuter the patriarchal demands... taking control of their share of life and responsibilities.
Even a small detail like 1:38 has a big impact - man walks into the house first without leaving the door open for his pregnant wife. In other countries the gentleman thing to do is open the door for his wife first then walk in after

Wow
Not dear it's not true it's depend on situation have u ever saw the person who works on road , a driver who drive all the night sitting on his sit does they not feel bored overwhelmed it's totally depend on situation
Oh really!!!🙄
…And with other women
This is the story of almost every other house in india.....becoz people treat boys nd girls so differently in there own houses..
Man you said it. Every south asian household worldwide seriously
..even middleeastern households...
In pakistan as well
I'm suffering from this btw IAM shefali
By who their mom only who is also a girl
I m quite lucky to have parents who believed, practised equality. I did always have a good support from them in following my decisions of life n i always lived upto it. I don't like such people who either place girls on head n boys as fools or boys r kings n girls as servants.... lets live n let live
The video is something else. Honestly. With barely 4-5 dialogues of Shefali how the society badly treats a woman is shown
Firstly after marriage she is the maid of the house.
She has to cook clean and take care of every little thing while the so called "man of the house" enjoys drinking alcohol and smoking cigarette
Secondly when all the women are traeted the same in their respective households , still instead of supporting each other they make sure to bring each other down.
They just are standing in the kitchen in the name of helping the host lady. They are obviously seeing her struggle with the chicken dish , even then no comes forward to help her. On the top of that 2 of them are watching videos.
These socalled friends even want to damage your relationships and dynamics with anyone for eg. Here the maid.
It is obvious that the househelp lady and the protagonist have more connection than the boss-servent relationship still that pregnant lady interferes in their dynamics.
And sadly the protagonist lets her do it coz after pregnant lady is her so called friend and the househelp lady.
Moreover the mothers are forcing their own children to such toxic patriarchy.
And that husband? The talks about Emperor Akbars dysentery are so important to him that he cant even help his wife.
The effect of men being superior than women has also been embedded in the innocent minds of those children.
Only fighting for Hindus and Muslims is not the only problem in our society.
If you open your eyes and are more receptive in your daily life , you will find so many things that you can stop and correct. Just to make our community our society a better place
So true

Wooow thank you for pointing out some of the more subtle details! Wonderfully done!
A perfect example of "ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS"
My heart cried when the maid was given the chai in the spared steel cup, and what a silent but yet so powerfull ending. Brillient work
The little girl who carries the dishes for her brother reminded me of myself. I am the most pampered one in the house after two brothers. But these little things always showed up. They could sit and chat and play while carrying the tea tray was girls' job. And it seemed like natural selection. This has been persistent over the years. It doesn't make a difference whether you do a job or not, you are young or old, women are treated in same way across cultures. Sometimes women themselves glorify it. It is the worst part. And in a family setup, you can't ask questions to your mum. Like the little girl was shut up and made to carry the plates, trust me the scene is so original, I could see myself in her.
Thanks for the film.

He taught me to drive cycle and then car at a very young age. He sent me for higher studies qnd spent a lot of money on me. I am proud to have him as my father.

Ohhh my God! Those eyes of Shefali... her expressions.... her demeanour... less dialogues but 200% expressions!!! Hats off to her and the director of this video!!!! Standing ovations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The scene where the mother comes and calls her daughter to serve her brothers, that is when the patriarchy pervaded. Irony but a women herself promotes patriarchy subconsciously. Excellent performance by the whole cast.
Gud
Hmm so woman see patriarchy curse patriarchy comment on social media against patriarchy but still allow oneself to fall prey to patriarchy.... ridiculous
Spot on !
Women have gotten so comfortable with patriarchy that they'll complain about it but won't try to find a way out. It's this "it sucks but I have to do it" type of mentality. Unfortunately they don't realise that there is another way.
Dristisikha Baruah so true...
Unpopular Fact :-
We see this almost everywhere happens to our Moms, sisters, Wife, friend but the sad part is We don't realise until some brilliant director makes short film on it
If you are angry and choose not to speak, this is how you breathe. Awesome acting by Shefali (y)
Bipin Pandey on point
Bilkul sahi farmaaya Pandey ji..... Bit off topic, I used to refer people with Pandey surname as Pandey.... but then "OFFICE OFFICE" taught me its always Pandey Ji.... :P
The patriarchy is soo deep rooted in the system is soo hard to even see. Its soo normalised that no one even sees what's wrong with it
You are absolutely right. Some men don’t even realize this is wrong, and we women have to bear the brunt of their callous attitude
U r absolutely right.i hate this gender difference system.
I think JUICE in the film is an antithesis to everything around. it is an antithesis to the dryness around, the dryness in the chicken served, the chicken in the kadhayi which got stuck, the hot and roasted baingan which she was struggling to peel, the spicy ghughni demanded, the humidity and compactness in the set up and especially the juice that had gone from her life and which she was in dire need of. When in the hall, the juice was an antithesis to the alcoholic drinks with men. And the entire sequence of her gulping down the juice (with a sound and an expression of relief) in front of men with their empty and half empty glasses of drink and the half eaten chicken pieces (very masculine set up), was an act of reinforcing her existence, an act of breaking the compactness in the woman's life and a rebel against the men and their fairy land world of "Trump trumped Hillary" and irrelevant topics of interest (which is already obvious).
You are such genius & good school of thought
Wow... excellent observation and explanation
Finally found a deep analysis of the story,
after scrolling a lot...
Wow! That's perfect. Amazing analysis.🙏🙏💯💯

That's wrong. Not all men are like those morons. It's the culture that's ingrained .
Well said but it doesn't apply for everyone
Just goosebumps as the woman sat on the chair with the juice in her hand staring at the men in disappointment...
A girl herself responsible for her own strength..and also for her own pain!
this is what feminism and gender equality about. mentality and so called tradition.
it is an unhealthy tradition to pass on, the little girl experience and the way the little boy threatened her, the husbands and the male relatives (the conversation context), the husband and wife treatment, the women with the tradition and belief practices (which she didn't explain to her daughter), the way the maid was treated (just because she was a lower class labor), and social expectation and judgment (married or not married, have children or no children).
India or not India, Chinese, western and other Asian countries. Women, Men, Children.
such a powerful short film! i look forward for more film like this
Elly Tam this indeed is what feminism is, we support your cause fully
Elly Tam ....my dad too
This short movie has depicted the perfect example of class antagonism for equality. They are as follows:-
a) The women class is struggling against the men .
b) The lower class (represented by the maid) is struggling against the higher class (represented by these home makers) by not giving the tea in a same cup and
c) The plantation of distinction of struggle and conflict between male and female at their very young growing age by the children.
But the harsh reality is only some can able to make a change (like this woman) and others won't as they don't know about it (like the Small girl) and other who knows but cannot do anything (like the maid).
Beautifully explained and highly commendable.
Respect
Well said

And male smoking and drinking considered as normal
Whenever my friend comes over my husband serve us drinks nd snacks while I sit and enjoy. He totally understands that me too have a right to sit on that sofa with friends and enjoy the drinks.
Lucky to have him.

Lucky girl!!
Nothing lucky in that. I'll be the same type of husband in a few years. So, has my father been, his entire life and a bit more.
Amrita Kumari I hope my fiancé treats me the same. You are indeed very lucky ❤️
Amrita Kumari you are really lucky
Very very relatable 😭😭 I thought it only happens in our family. Feel really sad for everyone . I too see my mom and chachis and bhuas and massis the same way . And I do serve food to my brother. He gets food first . And after eating, either I or my mother pick up the plate of my father and brother. And everyone take it like so normal. But I used to think about it. And now after watching this video and reading the comments, I know it's same everywhere. 😭 We need to stop guys. These men and society needs to stop. The must give the atleast equal respect If not more. Really very disappointed. Being a 14 yr old I notice each and everything but sadly couldn't express . I feel so bad for everyone. 😭
They: But she didn't speak anything even after so much.🤔
Me: I heard her loud. 🙂🙁
I also here loud that she is expecting her husband that it is not big deal to work in office whole day. You should help wife at home in cooking. I can't understand why these ladies in kitchen..For gossiping instead of helping each other.
Prophet Muhammad cooked, cleaned and took the trash out, your wives arent your maid, they are your partners, be like prophet Muhammad
So true!!!
I remembered my mother and wife while watching this! I have been so insensitive! Shame on me! Has been an eye opener this film! ☹️😪
Karthik Natarajan And this is what this short film intends to do. If everyone realizes this then we don't need such shorts.
you are south indian and have the courage to see your faults. most north indians commenting here dont even want to admit it let alone try to correct it. and they are 1000 times more exploitative than south indians.
So now u help them?
Arunil Jaiswal I do....I clean the utensils after dinner, I iron the clothes for the week, dry the clothes and fold them and sort them post drying, mop the house during weekends. Still these chores are way too less compared to what the ladies do, but I still make it a point to do these religiously

I have seen my dad always helping mom in household works and in the kitchen even when some guests come. He never asked my mom to leave job because of kids instead he helped her more. So he has always been my role model in that and that turned me the same man who helps his wife in every household work as it's our house and we are life partners. I feel pity for those people who think being a MAN means ruling woman and make her do all the household work and force her to leave her passion and career. Great video and acting.
You indeed had a great father and so you are....
Sumeet Gurbani I really appreciate that
It’s rare to see such men
Truly world needs men like like you who empower women, not seize power from women👍
love and respect👍
Such an amazing father ❤ I'm blessed to have my dad too. He does so much for us.
Did you noticed how the men were complaining about women not being able to handle difficult tasks and responsibilities while their women were doing all the kitchen work, working like hell in the hot environment.
This short film is so true.....it always happens in the middle class families....even in our homes....it's realistic... Beautifully done👍👏
It happens for every other day in my house.
@@Sameeksha2136 But girls should only clean , cook and spread her legs that's what I believe....tell me If I am wrong 🤨!!
Have rarely seen such strong message in any short film. Can't take my mind off it now!

its awesome....brilliant
She called her husband for fixing that fan but he didn't even remember..
That's why she came with a juice at the end and sat in front of cooler , she indirectly said "I'm not a robot, I'm a human "
As a mother of 5 kids, all I can say gender equality starts from home. Kids love doing stuff and little responsibility let them enjoy and learn.
I always tell my mom not to serve anyone, everyone got hands, they can to it themselves. I ask my cousins not to call their mom just to serve them a spoon of food, when you can easily do it yourself. These are all 'bout upbringing. You can just be independent and teach these basic habits to everyone around you.
Absolutely and this shit annoys me.. After long working hours in the heat and even serving food to children who got two healthy hands is really disturbing and makes me angry ...
@@deekk2995 absolutely... We don't need to spoon feed anybody.. Let everyone be at their own
💯
Are you asking a mother not to feed her children? Just a thought don't take it as offense .
@@sykbot feed and serve food? You know the meaning?
@@victordutta798 got it Thank you
I only wish the other ladies had also come and sat there with a glass of juice in their hands. The impact would have been manifold. Male Chauvinism, class/caste discrimination (the way the maid is given the steel glass) all covered in 13m without too much foo faa...
That would have been an even better ending
They were also chit chatting only.
Actually they never realised it the way she did.. They were in the same state of mind as their male counterparts, as far as discrimination was concerned.
Actually this was the perfect ending because those women represent the majority of women who just stay behind and allow the patriarchy to rule over them. Only very few would unfortunately dare to do what manju was able to do. This ending keeps it realistic without giving it that films feel of all of them did the same thing as well imo.
Yes that way the ending would have been even better
When she strts to walk towards the "conference" my heart was beating like anything it was so scary to watch.....wow
Equality begins from home!!
And we need to understand this
This film makes me so angry. This is the reality in almost all middle class households in India. To hell with Patriarchy.
Men can't operate without a support system. In my opinion most patriarchs are very insure people. Why do you think men invite guests home only when they have someone at home to put food on the table.
Petriarchy comes from MANUSAMRITI ..AND BHRAMINICAL SYSTERM ENCOURAGE THIS SYSTEM ..
Not only India, the whole Indian subcontinent

Excellent! Shefali Shah's acting is awesome!
Shefali Shah is one of the finest.
Thanks to all the men who were involved in making such a wonderful film 👍
Hope others, who do not or cannot see the world from a woman's point of view, would change their perspective.
And also to the men who are able to applaud this short 👏
Mostly comments r done by females. nd men don't have d time to watch n understand such a great msg
Tripti Sadana Maine dekha hai Yeh video bohat he acha msg hai time to be change
No, it's not true.. In fact I'd love to pamper my wife in future.. Getting up early than her and cooking breakfast for both of us, I mean it would be great 😍😍
No madam. We do respect women.
I think male feels shame himself
Not true mam. Those who have seen the difficulty faced by their mom and sisters can understand the pain of women.
Finally, in metro cities we find equality that mens and womens are drinking and cooking together. Hope, everyone can admire the same and have a glass of juice together.
This short movie was just soo damn good. Literally we need this kind of content . Kudos to the wonderful team for making this masterpiece.
Completely relatable. Ending left me teary eyed. Hope the concerned people realise what the makers of this beautiful short movie have depicted.
Now winner of Filmfare Awards in Best short film category.. Please mention it.😊
Rishabh Tiwari watch this one also please if you have time. ruclips.net/video/1ie8d9VI1tQ/видео.html
I absolutely loved this. I watched this so many times already, and I can’t get enough. I love how raw the movie is, how it’s so realistic and so eye opening while being so subtle. To everyone saying ‘oh women why don’t you fight back, stand up for what you want yadayayda’ to them id like to say we’re trying. For a woman to stand up for herself is not an easy deed, it takes courage and an acceptance of the fact that she will judged and disregarded. As a woman, growing up you accept your fate when you see your mother and the way she is treated and even The small things add up, even if it’s a woman serving food to a man. We start accepting that it’s our fate. So to come out of it takes courage which is easier said than done.
Did you see how the lady's husband said "ghar mei pade pade kya karegi aapka hath bata degi" even though his wife was pregnant and needed rest.
Hundred 💯 likes from my side,
A person who can't feel what another is going through, have no right to be called as a person, no matter if it's a boy or girl
And the best part is at the end as she speaks nothing but then all were listening to her silence 🔇
We appreciate every single of those 100 likes Anju:-)
Yaa...dis is a absolute point. Said
Irrespective to gender....if one cant feel the another persons feeling...he is no more ....__
Oh...good.....the reality of our society has been protrayed in such a nice way......loved it guys...great work
Thank you Sanskriti. We keep trying:-)
Very nicely done..
Every man must have to understand this pain.....
I support this..

Not only man but women too.. in this movie they have shown, ladies they understand the emotions but ignore what she is going through & don't support...that's what is real life scenario.. I am a witness & have experienced it.. so sad😒
True and its a reality
I've watched this 7 years ago and still remember, this piece of art changed my life and thoughts, I now have decided to make my husbnd help ok the kitchen, and now I ask my brothers to help, and they do alhamdolillah ❤️
Seriously in muslims household it is possible?
My muslims sister got beaten so hard as she wants to study mbbs ..
that maid scene was also impactful...
meenakshi agarwal what was that about? I don't think I understood..
vyshali chowdary she was a dalit . This is why she was being served tea in a separate iron cup and others had crockery cup.
Ritu Yadav damnnnn. Thank you :) ☀
meenakshi agarwal indeed :)
Yup, but that was mainly about that she wanted the maid to stay and help her at such a hectic time. She would have been of great help to her and the chai was the sign that "I am offering something to you and in return, you should help me". And the other was caste discrimination as she was also offering the tea in a different type of cup.
Did anyone notice that the woman served tea to the maid in another "special" cup? That's the nature of India. Castiest at every step.
Yes
Me also wondering.. if those women can't give respect to the maid.. how can they expect gender equality..
You don’t have to notice it, it’s evident
Utterly sad.
My aunt also does so... we children were innocent n surprise to see that n by time we also learned but I'm not gonna follow it..
The ending!! Epic how the male squad seems to get her point, all conveyed through silence. They all look screwed knowing how patriarchy was hit at. Very much portrays the insecurity of patriarchal society. Brilliant work!!
I really can never satisfy myself from watching this again again and every time the respect gets stronger... brought tears in my eyes in the ending scene fr!!! The disappointment and pain in her eyes says it all!!!! And the thing that women are themselves enemies for each other like the woman showing the sarcasm about Manju leaving her job and when she had had enough and tried to initiate her thoughts the ladies were giving her "that judgemental" look for not having a conservative mindeset....
This comment section is one of the best for me till now!!
I just have only one question..how could the Royal Stag shortfilms be so perfect and so relatable!!!🙏🙏🙏Hats off to all those before and behind the camera🙏🙏🙏
wow....Shefali is just amazing, she is utterly convincing in this role; just reminded me of dil dhadakne do, where she played a character which was in total contrast and she was superb in that as well....
Amazing short movie.. Director has done a great job by not putting any words in her mouth at the end.. Shefali performance is superb...! She told thousand of things only through her eyes....
Imagine a scenario where everyone is helping each other out! Work will be finished so quickly and then everyone will be able to enjoy the gathering❣❣❣❣
Shefali Shah you are a blessing to our industry!

For all the people who have commented that they do not relate to the video, that their fathers (or other men) in their families cook because their mothers cannot cook properly, so it made them wonder. Here is a piece of truth for you, your family is not the only family in the world so at least try to broaden your perspective that not all households are the same. There are plenty of households where gender roles are skewed and atrociously stereotyped as shown in the video. It excellent that your family has inculcated good values in you by being good examples themselves but if you are seeking appraisal for treating other humans as humans, this is no place for you. This in no way makes you or your family superior in any way. This is not a competition of how good you have it than other people. We are out of awards for you.
Another thing, it is not just about wives having a specific gender role and being overworked while men are having fun drinking and smoking away. The video clearly shows that how THESE men are uncomfortable by a woman in a position of (what they consider) power, the scene where one of the men is complaining that the appointment of their new "female" boss is not correct because women are physically ill-equipped. The video is not just a wife-husband relationship dynamic, it is about the woman-man relationship dynamic as a whole. At least attempt to comprehend it.
Finally someone said the right words. It is not a feat or a rewarding act to treat each other equally it's how it's supposed to be
Are you on Twitter?
Exactly! N even that small girl is also forced to help her mother n boys r nt expected to help
Very well said. But the tragidy is mejority people will not be so sensitive.
Those who treat their wives well.. Kinda boost about it. So..it simply reflects that he doesn't believe that he has to treat her well.. Just because that's how it is supposed to be. He is treating her well not because it's her right tm.. But because he wants to be a good husband. So kinda.. If someone is looking for credit for simply doing what he is supposed to do.. It's annoying.
And in our society bcz most men ill treat their wives.. Those few who treat them well. Kidna take pride in how good THEY ARE.
So we still need a deep understanding.
There are men.. Who say.. I have given all freedom to my wife. You know I told my wife it's her decision if she want to work or not.
Again.. When someone says I HAVE GIVEN HER FREEDOM.. it immediately contradicts what he says. Who is he to GIVE Her freedom. If he thinks he CAN give FREEDOM to his wife.. It implies.. He still is the one in control.
Of he tells she can decide about her job.. It still impose.. He still is the Incharge.
@@MsEternalpeace Well said 👍👍👍

i believe women need their time also.. I try to brew a cup of tea for my wife so that she can have a good start to day. Helping her in household chores also..
Good. Trust me. When you give her tea, she can love you for eternity and she will become your closest best friend.
God bless you and may your tribe increase
It's not help bro,you do have equal duties in your house.helping means she is supposed to finish the chores and it's her own responsibility.you have to share those works rather than help
That’s very good. But trust me it will soon turn into a favour what you do to her what “no other men does” unless you you realise it’s not help that you do, and it’s sharing of responsibilities.
@@aamirkhurram7390 100% right! you are really a thoughtful person!

"The power of silence"
This may not happen as much now but i have seen this very thing happen to my mom, aunts n other ladies. Separate room for the men and women cooed up in the kitchen. It saddens me that a woman's contribution goes unnoticed n under appreciated just because she is not earning money. More power to women who spend time nurturing their families.

This still happens in our house..
My story completely reverse, As a kid I used to help my mother in kitchen running back & forth to serve guests. My sister used to sit calmly. When maid was on leave, I have the courage to do mopping in whole house & cleaning utensils. I am still the same way. Proud to be a momma's boy . Setting an example about gender equality.
when her hand is burnt none of the lady's cared to show concern except for the housemaid... but when it comes to serving one cup of tea.. they want to give her in some small glass.. that is the same thing happened to them from their husbands.. whatever care you show.. you will get the same on how you treated others..
👌👌👌Good observation. But both are different things you can't compare both wrong doings while both are wrongs
@@surajmaurya2553 its almost the same..the maid is working her skin off morning and night and daily..and she is still treated badly as if they don't care...the wives are working badly to make all arrangements...husbands are treating as if they are not doing anything...its just on how we see as things are taken for granted..like a maid is being paid and in house to do all the work and no need to give credit or Respect for her... similarly husband is feeling...a wife is there to cook for him..to take of the guest and make arrangements..as he is earning and bringing food for her and its her duty to do these things...no need to be credited or respected....
But manju asked for a cup for the maid. The pregnant woman was the one who gave her that broken glass for the maid
@@petraalbatra9898 when she gave old broken glass.. she cud have objected and asked for a cup only..after all its her house.. but she felt she will go down infront of her friends if she gives respect to her maid..
@@Straightforward786 I totally agree with you. But that is what the film is trying to show. In the whole movie she is trying to please others according to the priorities but in the end she gets frustrated and does whatever she wants to do
Thank god my father is not like this when he comes from office he helps my mother in kitchen and is very caring i love him i will never argue with him
God bless you
reepika sharma Iam very proud of you. I also don't do this my father is not also like this and I don't argue with him

i use be like this when i was a kid sitting with my father and everything was done my mother and i was started to become like my father but as i crossed 18 slowly i started to realize and started to cook for myself and now i cook for my mother and do everything even tho my father still the same even threatened my father if you keep enslaving my mother then it will have a very bad consequence from my side.
See all those 1.8k 'people' who've disliked this video are those kind of people who think this unfair reality is fair. Slow claps for them.
Loved the illustration expressed by their silence
Great movie.
Its more about mindset. How men enjoy on the labour of women and degrade them in offices and homes both. All men characters in the movie are very disregardful to all wives. They didn't offer them to have some cold/hot drink together. They didn't offer to help. They didn't bother to have their company and collective talk, they didn't bother about giving break to people working in kitchen. They didn't bother to even offer a seat to the pregnant lady. They didn't offer to help in the kitchen with the fan, and some smaller work, like serving etc.
This set up wherever it is followed is very suffocating.husband and wife are supposed to be friends, partners, and not master and slave...
Good message from the movie.
It doesn't just happen to Indians. This jazz happens to Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis living in the western world too. This shite will never end until women especially mothers step-up to patriarchy and give it a big middle-finger.
Loved the film. Highly thought-provoking.
Shama Abdulla cannot agree more. Until the women step up and put a stop to it nothing changes.
Also African women
It is third-world country mentality. That is why I don't consider myself Indian anymore.
Serious problems in our society is beautifully conveyed in the film
1. where a little gal playing videogame amongst all other guys was particularly called up to serve food to herself n her brother......I got me rewind my life n got tears
change should come from small small things which parents practice in raising children
2. Only guys were bot videogames n not gals
3. I have a question to which I always gets stuck finding an answer.....Is living a life dat we don't like just for the sake of family or may it be any person is called love?
Finally a good work..keep it up
divy a well said even I remember as a child when my mom used to ask me to wash my brothers cloth n till the date I do so when m 22 and my brother is 20 whenever I refuse to do so my mother insists me saying he is ur bother n all those shits
+anu kuikel ...please don't do...utilize the same time to relax or to improvise ur health, knowledge, skill anything.....we are human beings not slaves...do work for parents but not for ur brothers sisters cousins friends...noone remembers....
till the time I was stupid I used to do now I saw he is an adult he csn do his shit if not then its his problem. but my brother is extremely nice he doesn't expect anyone else to do his stuff but family members always dull a guy's ability i feel. I mean he makes a better roti than me 😂😂
My mother treated my brother and me equally. Both of us were called up to serve plates to the guests. I was lucky!
Ans to 3...yes....that is general mass thinks....doing household chores is the only expertise a bahu can show in sasural ...it is the thinking of less educated Indian saas...I don't understand ..what are they gaining by thinking that is the only thing of expertise ....however education brings the difference in this type of thinking....
Hats off.. Good n silently narratted n deeply explaind...

The best ending I have ever seen in my life. Wow!!*******. Seven stars. Your eyes have spoken more than words.
Thats the curse of being born as a female in a middle class.Its so evident. This was just a glimpse.
It's in all classes. Rich class may have a maid to get the job done. But it's still the female who has to get it done. Men will not stand in the kitchen instructing the servants. They will remain on the couch!
So it has to do with amount of education family has.. Not the money.
And by education I don't mean degress. I have seen Doctors and PhD holders making their wives clean their shoes.. Or carry it for them.
Education is the value system and the understanding of right and wrong.
Very true dear being a female is a curse nothing related to class in every class it is same.
Actually we need to raise this question to the creator God who created this world. He pulls the strings and make things happen.
If you don't do it nobody can force you. You just have to realise that you need to stop doing it and learn to say no.
And thats why i helped my mum everyday whenever it was possible in her day to day work , i was laughed at by my cousins but i always ignored them cause my mum happiness was everything for me .
Touched my soul!! Patriarchal society portrayed beautifully!! Gender equality still a myth!!!
Thank you for the appreciation
LargeShortFilms keep up the good work!!!
Bold Brunette change doesn't occur in a blink of an eye... It takes time... Generations... Society will evolve ...

Black Mamba ...very true
Yes ...totally agree with you
no , living alone isnt the answer. its the mentality. and if someboody doesnt like something, need to talk to partner and take a stand.
Black Mamba I'm 35 n live alone. I have a very satisfying job that I love n good enough salary for one person. I'm the happiest woman. I do whatever I want n chill. I get lonely sometimes...I feel like having kids sometimes... But when I see the reality of marriage.. It's too high a price to pay ..... Feeling insulted... put down... n living an empty life just for feeling secure...nahi chahte....I'm good👍
That's the best idea than getting married and getting entangled in its loop . Both for men and women . I'm bachelor and enjoys being so forever . And I stopped living for the society but for me
Standing applause for Neeraj Ghaywan! A very sensitive portrayal of Indian family life!!
