College student Rehana Abdi (Plabita Borthakur), a Miley Cyrus fan who feels mighty suffocated in the orthodox family of a tailor, jumps out of her burkha as soon as she is out of the house. She expresses herself best when she makes out with her Muslim photographer-boyfriend Arshad (Vikrant Massey). Three other women who live in different parts of the house that Usha owns have their own stories.Ī beautician Leela (Aahana Kumra) has ambitions that go way beyond the confines of her current calling. Matronly Usha Parmar (Ratna Pathak Shah) develops an appetite for unbridled carnal thoughts thanks to the spicy pulp fiction she devours on the sly and a brawny swimming coach who catches her fancy. The film tells the story of four small-town women with secret lives that run counter to their apparent existence.

Lipstick Under My Burkha Movie Review: A still from the film That is a huge burden to carry, but it sits rather lightly on Lipstick Under My Burkha thanks to the director's ability to offer us a brand of feminism that does its number without whipping up gratuitous froth. Obstruction - and the resultant resistance by the makers - have raised the film's status to that of an all-out banner of revolt against stupidity. Prakash Jha may have produced Lipstick Under My Burka, but it is Mr Pahlaj Nihalani who has generated all the noise that the film needed to ahead of its release.
The burkha as a piece of outer clothing used to obviate temptations of the flesh - it could well have been the ghoonghat - is only a leitmotif in Alankrita Shrivastava's rebellious but even-toned film that got the goat of the man who undeservedly heads India's censor board and bleats a bit a too much against anything that he perceives as being at variance with his ultra-conservative worldview.
Cast: Konkona Sen Sharma, Ratna Pathak, Aahana Kumra, Plabita Borthakur, Sushant Singh, Vikrat Massey
