Flora Saini’s latest film ‘Chaddi’ is asking the right questions about female sexual liberation

-
After Gandi Baat, Fraud Saiyaan and Inside Edge, actress Flora Saini is back with another stellar performance in her latest short film ‘Chaddi’ streaming now on the Gorilla Shorts YouTube channel. Chaddi is a new age take of the bored housewife story where she is trapped in a loveless and sexless marriage with an overbearing husband, played superbly by the acclaimed actor, Nitesh Pandey. Flora’s character, interestingly called Mrs Chaddha, faces a major upheaval in her otherwise boring life when a man’s underwear falls on her balcony. From there starts a saga of the fantasising and comic search for the ‘Chaddi’s’ owner which ends in her discovery of some unexpected truths about herself and her own life. 
Naturally, Flora burns up the screen with her glamorous appeal, but make no mistake, she’s a powerhouse of talent and matches Nitesh’s nuanced performance at every step. Together they are both funny, charismatic and share weird chemistry of a couple who are completely out of sync.
Watch the film on Gorilla Shorts YouTube channel and expect to be amazed.
The director of the film, award-winning adman and filmmaker, Ambar Chakravarty says, “Chaddi has a very positive, liberating message packed in a fun and entertaining short film. The film makes a bold statement about female sexuality and the hypocritical nature of society when it comes to dealing with the issues of female sexual awakening and homophobia in today’s day and age. Flora has done a stunning job of portraying the bored and lonely housewife who is not afraid of her sexuality and desires and Nitesh as the overbearing husband is as amazing as ever! The song also adds a funny and insightful dimension to the whole narrative while carrying the film forward.”

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
