Godday Godday Chaa

This sweet little film highlights the misogyny, stopping the women in taking part in Baraat of their own kin and even doesn't allow woman to eat meat. The educated daughter-in-law Rani (Sonam Bajwa) revolts against this oppression and convinces women in her village to fight for their right to attend the wedding. Her soft spoken husband Bagga supports her unconditionally. How Rani and her gang of women, trick the misogynistic men to earn their right forms rest of the story.

The story is set in the 90s and the overdose of misogyny which is played for laughs as well as to evoke melodrama might not appeal to everyone. But the intentions are honest and the treatment is not slapstick. Sonam Bajwa owns the character and carried the film with aplomb. Films like these, it is mandatory to have Nirmal Rishi as the grandmother and know for sure that she will provide the best of the entertaining scenes. Here the supporting cast is that good and Tania too with her love for gulab jamun, bring in the laughter.

The ending however felt abrupt with that song though it was good seeing all those women celebrate, taking their right and the voice over during the end credits brought back the humour. Guess I expected the men to be confronted and then make them as just witnesses to the women's celebration. This is still a good watch and I will definitely recommend it.
