00:41 - It is talking about, essentially about women's rights.
00:45 But it is a story, it is a story
00:47 of three generations of women.
00:50 Grandmother's generation, mother's generation,
00:52 and daughter's generation.

01:23 - What a neglected area the field of women's health is,
01:27 has been brought very sharply into focus.
01:30 (speaking in foreign language)
01:34 The film also has a lot of humor and a lot of lightness.
01:37 (speaking in foreign language)
01:52 And all around performances.

03:48, you see,
04:18 one of the great things about Shabana
04:19 is that she can do real life roles.
04:23 (speaking in foreign language)
04:27 She has a great talent and ability to do that.
04:31 That's why she is the best dramatic actress we have.
04:34 - Apart from the women's audience,
04:36 is it that the men audience will be attracted to this role?
04:38 - Oh, definitely,
04:39 because it deals with both men and women.
04:41 Although it deals essentially with the problems of women,
04:44 it's also equally relevant to men.
