Recently I watched the 2018 movie on Netflix. This I am not writing as a movie critic as I am not a Critic. What I want to narrate here is the beauty of the film and the message it wanted to convey. Usually we all say that what happens in a movie does not happen in reall, may be true. However, what I saw in the movie is the taboo in our society.
Ratna, the maid is taking care of her master Ashwin who is kind of dejected after being cheated on by his fiancee and his marriage is called off. Point here is if he is feeling for his maid, what is wrong in it. It’s not that he only wants to sleep with her. Ratna also leaves him saying that society will not approve of their relation. But my point here is why? Why can’t a maid – a servant per say have a relationship with her owner. Why our society can’t accept the fact that two individuals living under same roof can develop feelings for each other. At the end what do we want, a person who understands our needs, emotional turbulences and advise us if we are low in life. Marrying a maid is a hush hush thing over here why?
We need to be more vocal and accepting towards it. At the end what matters is happiness. Life is too short to live with guilt and regrets. Find a person who really understands you. Marriage is just a name given to an alliance between two indiviuals in our society. Think above it, that is mutual love, respect and care that we find in one another. Being a maid is just a job like any other educated one. I am happy with the ending though where Ratna calls her sir by his name Ashwin when he calls her on her number.
I dont want to say much, because we are far away from that point still. But there is always hope.
Stay positive and keep loving.
