Within a fairly complex plot exists a simple story about complex flawed characters just trying to understand and help each other.
Kore-eda (Director), in almost all of his movies explore the philosophy "What is a family?"
He also explores the fact that "One wrong decision doesn't define who you are, if the decision was taken in ignorance or because of your complex situation"
It is definitely not one of his (Director's) best work. But it is one of my favourite this year.

Today marks the 97th anniversary of the historic Mahad Satyagraha.
Here's a thread discussing this revolutionary non-violent protest, which was a significant milestone in the fight for social justice, dignity and equality for Dalits. 🧵
On August 4, 1923, SK Bole, a social reformer, proposed a resolution in the Bombay Legislative Council. The resolution stated:
The Bombay government reluctantly instructed all department heads on September 11, 1923 to implement it by 19th September 1923.
An in-depth analysis of the film "Fandry" directed by @Nagrajmanjule. 🧵
Family of Jabya ( Dalit) lives on the outskirts of a village. To make ends meet, the family chases away pigs and also kills them to prevent them from creating nuisance in the village—a task assigned to the Dalit family since upper-caste families consider it unhygienic & impure.
The young Jabya, however, remains disillusioned by the situation and develops feelings for an upper-caste girl, Shalu, who attends the same school.
We, as Dalits, are exhausted from repeatedly debunking this misinformation. It seems like the truth is often overlooked.
The 10-year limit was specifically for political reservation, a point Dr. Ambedkar never advocated. In fact, he opposed a fixed 10-year timeframe, even for political reservations for SCs.
