Just saw Begumjaan. There's a scene where a girl is getting molested so an old woman strips herself to fend off her assailants. The same girl does the same as a preteen when she strips in front of police to save her friends. Both times her assailants leave them alone.

Why are the makers so ignorant? They basically said only attractive or young girls get raped but kids and older women are spared. This is rubbish. Are kids and old ladies not getting assaulted? I read this in the news all the time of girls as young as 4-5 or ladies in their 90s getting assaulted.

W*F? I don't get why the film showed that but I have heard all types of women get assaulted. Age doesn't matter to sick people. 🤢

It is stupid and highly ignorant of anyone to deny the basic fact that women of all ages and from all walks of life are being subjected to brutal sexual assault. Perverted men don't discriminate and they indulge in promiscuous sexual relations. Women and girls experience sexual violence at high rates. Younger ones are at higher risk generally. Men and boys are also affected by sexual violence. Age is not the criteria for sexual offenders.

Begum jaan, a film about women fighting patriarchy was regressive, tacky and also cliched. Mindless violence and cacophony. It overlooked the real trauma faced by women during that period.

Regarding the scenes you mentioned - oh yes, the sight of the old naked woman would have made the rapists repent and run away 😲. Rape is as much about showing one's power over the weaker sex as it is about sex. Later the undressing of the teenage daughter in front of the police officer made the officer change his mind from raping her mother 😕. I couldn't get my head around the film maker's understanding of rape and how simplistic it was to stop such crimes from being committed. 😡

Exactly. The ignorance was baffling. 😲

I think movies in the past(I am assuming this is an old movie?), movies in the past always had perverse ways to get show women characters into revealing their bodies, and such scenes were put in just so that a lady would show skin - no logic or thought behind the story or scene. Just an excuse to get women (of different age groups in this movie, for audiences with various tastes to get a view of what they want) to strip or show skin or cater to imagination someway, so that people go and watch it.

First of all who or what forced you to watch this crap-fest especially now? 😆 The mind-numbing violence, screaming, shouting throughout was assault on the senses.

That particular scene alludes to the gangrapes and shows that the victim would not have been raped only if an old woman had stood in front of her and undressed for the rapists. Alas, so many 'nirbhayas' of this country would have been rescued if they could manage to find one 'daring' old lady. In the later scene the police officer not only changed his mind, he also began retching (if you could remember). So simplistic the director's view is as to how to prevent sexual abuses from happening.

Vidhya and feminism deserve much better 😭
