  • 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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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).

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.

      Very well said. But the tragidy is mejority people will not be so sensitive.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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....

      @MsEternalpeace 5 лет назад +9

      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.

      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👍
