Siya Review: Indian Cinema's Giant Leap Taken by Industry's Small-Scale Players
The QuintAmerican psychiatrist, researcher, teacher, and author Judith Lewis Herman says, “. in practice the standard for what constitutes rape is set not at the level of women's experience of violation but just above the level of coercion acceptable to men.” The film throws open a challenge about determining the original point of violation. In her bestselling book, What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape author activist Sohaila Abdulali has made an effort to transform discourse around rape culture. The primary premise is, why does rape become the focal point of a victim's life—and that of her family—while the perpetrators move on even after being convicted. It might not have been the original directorial intent but the way Siya, a minor, carries on forces one to revisit attitudes towards the act of rape and its impact on the victim.
