Alicia I love this movie so much

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Hari Kansal The film is about the problems that women (especially Indian women) face on a day to day basis, just because they are women. Throughout the film we see their issues weaved into the narrative, and it all climaxes to the sobering message at the end:"Society, don't wait till we're raped and murdered for you to stand up for us or with us. We are a part of you, society, we are mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, wives, lovers, family, colleagues, and friends. You worship Devis, the goddesses, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Durga, but you don't stop and think that maybe the women we see every day deserve some of our respect too."
Red-125 Angry Indian Goddesses (2015) is an Indian movie co-written and directed by Pan Nalin. In my summary, I wrote "actually two movies." By that I meant that the first three-quarters of the film is a happy "buddy movie" among six intelligent, capable women. Each of them encounters misogyny and sexism in their day-to-day lives. They deal with this negative aspect of their lives in different ways, but none of them can avoid having to deal with it.One of the women has returned to her home in Goa, the former Portuguese colony. She invites her friends to join her for her wedding. For the next hour-and-a-half the women sing together, dance together, talk together, and sometimes argue. There's a serious conflict between two of them. One is a local activist trying to stop the ecological destruction caused by a factory. The factory is being built by a company whose CEO is another one of the guests. So, it's not all love and laughter, but mostly that's what it is.After the "first movie" has run its course, the "second movie" begins. This is a serious, terrible part of the film. In retrospect we might have seen it coming, but I didn't expect it. The film takes on a serious documentary-type aspect, and ends with an extremely dramatic scene. You may like or dislike the last half-hour of the film, but you won't forget it.The actors in this film were all excellent. They played well in ensemble. Also, they are all extremely beautiful. It struck me as unlikely that all the friends would be so attractive. However, that's the decision director Nalin made. Nalin is male. I don't know if a female director would have made the same choice. The movie will work best on the large screen, because you'll have a better feel for the scenic beauty of the Goan location. However, even if you have to watch it on the small screen, I'd still recommend it.We saw the film at Rochester's excellent Little Theatre, as part of the outstanding ImageOut LGBT Film Festival. I suggest you seek it out and see it. It's not perfect, but it's still a great movie.
sammy The title seemed interesting , so did the promos and the soundtrack. The movie, sadly , turned out to be worse than a damp squib. The truth actually is that the movie is not so to blame as are the shoddy and laughable notions of "women-lib" that popular culture is trying to promote .The story is weak and the director fails to create any memorable character in the movie. It is actually unclear why the director chose the settings. The cinematography is mediocre. The issues raised in the movie are not by any means unique and have been tackled much more sensitively in other films. As expected the movie indulged in relentless male bashing . There is a scene where the leading ladies actually mimic stalking a guy ( undoubtedly as an expression of freedom).The film ends like a 90's or 80's bollywood flick , where "the common man" unites to own up responsibility for a murder. Please, the audience deserves better stuff.
rollingrahul73 Angry Indian goddesses may be good movie for world cinema but is an important movie for Indian cinema. Though there have been movies showing difficulties faced by females in Indian society none has been so comprehensive. Almost every other dialogue quips the hypocrisy of Indian mindset. They have been allowed to fly,but, that like a kite with everybody actively controlling their limits. With such different characters, common thread joining them all is anguish against the society venerating and denigrating females at the same time.Nalin has given another brilliant piece of cinema with strong female characters like the ones we worship. Cinematography is enchanting using the right balance of light and dark. Only God knows what censor board has been trying to censor when everything is so true...
