The women of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan: Revolution will be female

Firstpost  

Though they flank an irresistible central act of machoism, the women in Jawan are as crucial to the politically charged sub-plots, as they are to the film’s formative idea. In a scene from Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, the female inmates of a prison take to an akhada with slow-motion comfort and pomp. Kaveri Amaa obviously raised Khan’s Mohan in the legendary Swades and here she steps in again, twenty years later, as Azaad’s adoptive mother. At one point, when Azaad is captured, they spring into action, propelled by the self-willing confidence of women who know their self-worth comes from them and them alone – not even their ‘chief’.
