"Her" is the only movie that has managed to capture all of the nuances, complexity and the hypocrisy of a relationships and Love. It is the only SciFi film I have ever watched that feels like a reality of near future.
Here’s What’s Seriously Wrong with Laapataa Ladies: 🧵
1. The dialogues are preachy and fail to resemble natural conversations among villagers. The writing feels lazy, as the Brahmin writers try too hard to put progressive dialogues into the movie that don’t fit the characters or setting.

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.
