They don't understand the context: Homi Adajania to 'My Choice' critics

Deccan Chronicle | March 31, 2015, 16.03 pm IST

Mumbai: Just 48 hours after the video 'My Choice' was released it spread like a wildfire on the internet. This 2 minute video brought to light certain aspects of our society that irked not just one but many souls.

Although support poured in numerous amounts, there were still few opinions that left a sour aftertaste. The 'Finding Fanny' director, Homi Adajania, went out and about on how he admires Deepika Padukone for being who she is, has come out for support for his recent short film on women empowerment.

In an interview with 9xe.com, Homi says that it's pretty obvious from the reactions received that this is a feeling that has been suppressed for long enough. However, Homi reacted politely to all the critics saying, "They don't understand the context or they are Internet trolls hankering for attention, or maybe they have a different viewpoint...it's a democracy and this is our view and they are entitled to theirs."

The short film features 99 women from across different professions. Other known faces in the video are Farhan Akhtar's wife Adhuna and sister Zoya and Homi's stylist wife Anaita. Deepika talks about how every little decision in life, is hers to choose.

Well while I enjoyed the video and agreed with most of the parts, there are some valid points presented in the male version too. The key here is interpretation. It all depends on how you interpret it. There is no right or wrong interpretation. Valid points are in both versions.

Its all about choice, dont you see. People who do not like the so called shallow, superficial, attention seeking video is praticising the right of the theirs-THEIR CHOICE. Deal with it and have the guts to admit that no creative content is beyond and above criticism.

Pray tell then, what is the 'context'?
To make a mockery of the concept of feminism entirely?

How would you like your wife having an extra-marital affair and then coming home and claiming that it was her 'choice'? 😆

I'm sure you would have no objections to it, OR maybe a different context applies there. 😆

What context?

Then there should never be any debate at all since even religious and orthodox texts have their supporters yelping about context. Apologists of discriminatory customs have argument of context.

Everybody is right in their own place then.

The video would be universally trashed if it had men mouthing such lines. All would be crying about partriarchy, male chauvinism and oppression. If it's getting some support and even praise then it's only because it had women in it (so called #MyChoice types, privileged because they got headstart in life on account of being related to famous men, uber rich, urban types who think they are also speaking on behalf of small town, rural and tribal women).

Everyone who criticised it must be a troll? As if none can have genuine criticism for the video!

Wake up smug Bollywood celebrity. All critics are not haters and trolls. All are not obliged to accept your message as it is.
