Bollywood in 2019: From Article 15 to Judgementall Hai Kya, films hit hard with their messages

Hindustan Times  

Who said that hard-hitting socially-relevant, issue-based movies or films tackling taboo subjects have to be a bore fest? And the subjects ranged from depiction of lesbian relationship in Sonam Kapoor-starrer Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that often results in unpredictable hair loss in Gone Kesh, a girl running her family sex clinic in Khandaani Shafakhana, to premature balding in men in two films- Bala, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Ujda Chaman. So it is important to show the reality to the audience as that creates awareness.” Echoing similar sentiments, Gone Kesh actor Shweta Tripathi says that since cinema is a strong medium, one can really make a difference with the kind of stories that you tell. Kanika Dhillon, the writer of Judgementall Hai Kya, which was a black comedy with its focus on mental health issues and mental health well being, feels that it’s important to tell socially relevant stories because only through stories one can educate, inspire, entertain and engage. “I don’t think so, it’s a personal choice of the creative person,” shares Anubhav, adding, “That’s why I made my films Mulk, Article 15 and now Thappad.
