The backdrop is set in Bhopal and Alankrita chooses to have four female protagonists who all stay in the same colony – Usha (Ratna Pathak Shah), Shirin (Konkana Sen Sharma), Leela (Ahana Kumra) and Rihana (Plabita Borthakur).

It also appears as one sided story from females' perspectives. It just highlights what is prevalent in the society without trying to find any answers to many pertinent questions raised in the film. The film is not taking any moral stance but taking us through the journey of women as they are. But yes, the film is successful in making its point clear that hypocrisy exists in our society even in 21st Century, norms of our society being gender specific, and how every woman has the right to live her life and make her choices too, but she is deprived of her basic rights. It just seems like the lady characters are fulfilling their desires or living in their dreams/fantasies. As a result, the film appears neither taking any stand as such nor bringing any transformation to the characters. But what the film does not try to do is to show the change in any context or the situation for the female characters. But if we take this as an Indian film, indeed, it is a first of its kind, where the film tries to depict the females and their vulnerabilities without actually defending the same. If we compare it with the films of the west, certainly one could notice the scope of improvement. And yes, as the media reports were there, the film is bold in terms of its theme, subject, screenplay as well as its treatment. Alankrita has made a very unapologetic film. It is a film which focuses on women, their sexuality, their desires, their frustrations and their need to break the shackles of society in which they feel suffocated.

Lipstick under my burkha, a film by Alankrita Shrivastava, was in the headlines due to its release being banned in India.
