All the four women are struggling in their lives. The film takes a turning point when these women meet each other during the trip to ladakh. The Cinematographer Sreechith Vijayan has done a fantastic job in beautifully depicting the mountains as the women rides the bike through the mountains and rough roads in the valley. All four actors have managed to play their characters well throughout the film.

All Four Characters leave a strong message for Women

The characters played by each actor leave a strong message, especially to people who think women cannot ride a bike and go on a solo trip. Fatima Sana Sheikh plays the role of a Youtuber who is tired of her Social media tag and wants to break free for some time, while Ratna Pathak Shah who is playing the role of Manpreet a 60-year-old Grand Mother who feels she is devoid of love and care at this age. Then comes Umza (Dia Mirza) who is playing the role of a wife and a homemaker who thinks like any other woman her job is thankless and not appreciated by anyone. Then there is this Mathura girl Manjari who is about to get married to a stranger that her mother chose for her.

 

Film revolves around the challenges of Women

The film starts with the women heading for their destination and how they are being judged as women drivers on the road especially in a country like India when all heads turn when they see a woman riding a bike. All the women share their experiences of life with each other as they head towards their destinations. The turn of events in the movie is portrayed well by all four characters. The Film Maker has managed to relate the life of these women with the life of an ordinary homemaker or self-employed woman who is silently fighting her battles whether in the house or outside her house.

Every Women will relate to the Film

After long there is a film which gives you a refreshing vibe when you go through the series of scenes in the entire film, especially at a time when the Cinema is flooded with web series in the OTT Platforms showing violence, drama, murder and Politics. This movie hits you not with its relatable story line and the simple screenplay. The kind of bonding all the characters have shown while expressing their pain is unprecedented especially the age gap between them in their real lives.
