3. Juice (2017)

 

The most straightforward stories can occasionally have the greatest impact. Neeraj Ghaywan's short film Juice is a powerful critique of daily patriarchy. The movie, which is set in a middle-class Indian home, centers on a party where women stay in the hot kitchen cooking and serving food while men relax comfortably and chat. 

 

The film, which stars Shefali Shah, is a must-watch for males who wish to understand the normalized injustices around them because of its silent but fiery climax, which speaks volumes about gender roles. The movie conveys the same idea as Mrs. or The Great Indian Kitchen, but it does so in a far less amount of time.

 

4. Frida (2002)

 

Frida Kahlo, a Mexican artist, is the subject of this biographical drama film. Her life, art, and relationships including her marriage to muralist Diego Rivera are all examined in the movie. The tale of Frida demonstrates her fortitude and tenacity in the face of hardship.
