'THAT DAY AFTER EVERYDAY' is a story of rebirth of women in a society where women harrassment and Eve teasing are rampant.
The start of the film looked a bit exaggerated to me where three working ladies (resembling every women in the indian society) are shown facing molestation in every single step of their lives. Even their own family doesnt support them for going out and work.
I felt ashamed of the society we live in when Rekha (Apte) got molested while going for work. Kashyap successfully signifies the weakness of female gender in Indian society.
Rekha crying on a bench after her office melt the hearts of viewers. And I realised that nothing was exaggerated in the start, this is exactly women go through in Indian society.
A sudden smile on Rekha's crying face when Chanchal (Kaur) tells her that Durga ( Thappa) punched a boy who tried to harrass her in bus was very beautiful and signifies the cravings of women for empowerment.
Apte knows how to keep audience inact through her acting. Her emotions through out the film were so realistic and relatable. Being from grief of being not capable of standing against molestation to a fearless Avtar that viewers see at end, Apte has done a tremendous job. Even Kaur and Thappa has complimented Apte's work.
Later as movie goes, I was surprised to see these ladies coming out from self defence class.
The desperation of empowerment leads Rekha to ask her coach, didi (Mridul) when would they be completly ready to face the abusers.
Didi's enlightening words, " jab tumhe Lage tum taiyaar ho, matlab tum taiyaar ho" have made a permanent space in my head. Hence, dialogues are impactful as well.
Later while returning home, the ladies face the same abusers whom they encountered in the morning.
This time, after initial hesitations, the ladies face the abusers which symbolises their struggle for their empowerment.
When Rekha takes a heavy rock to attack the abusers raised a negative impression or fear over my mind that would she keep aside all the laws and orders?
But Syron of police clears all the doubts.
The pov scene, where Rekha looks at her husband and then husband's face gets blur and the moon in the background starts growing bigger symbolises her eternal happiness.
In climax scene, where her husband is in kitchen, making tea for her leaves a clam and satisfactory impact on the hearts of viewers.
At the end, this film is not a film to miss.
It delivers a wonderful social message. Kashap's direction justifies why he is a very respectful director of the industry.
He has played very safe on not adding any humour in the film.
