Tikli and Laxmi Bomb

Before I even watched it, i thought this film was yet another pseudo depiction of a section of society we don't really know of, their reality shown as a dramatic event in a one off feature. But it moved my guts upside down to see how real it was and made me squirm. The actors are extremely talented and show it in every scene. It's a must watch, it's a story of courage and pain and about bringing change in a rotten system.

For me, this film initially seemed like a light-hearted story of two women who bond over the work and the backgrounds that they share. But believe me, it is anything but that. The relationship between Tikli and Laxmi, being the strongest link in the film leaves enough space for the other characters to shine, my favorite being Tsamchoe and MT. You get engrossed in these beautiful characters who seem so innocent it's almost difficult to believe what they do for a living. It was hard for me to part this film as it creates an impact you have no control over. Loved it!

One of the unusual, extraordinary and exceptional piece of work flawless casting and each of the characters whether small or lead they have influenced and created impact in their own way background score totally engaging direction is fresh, and looks like actors are given liberty to portray it the way they want it

coming to the movie 2 lead characters: laxmi and tikli i am in love with them and ofcourse the movie...What a bond and performances...Each time they win or get success i felt very happy...Even the small characters like A.T , More , Shinde, Chaiwala have created their own area of victory there are many small punches only if u get it most of the corporate strategies are covered in very raw manner and u will be able to find it that the use of technology and offers are made to attract clients. many things to write

I recommend this movie strongly

Tikli and Laxmi Bomb is about an issue which we all are aware of but no one wants to talk about. Director and writer Aditya Kriplani has been brave on choosing this topic. While watching this movie you will feel that there is a lot of research done by the director. Aditya Kripalani has tried to deev dive into social issue of prostitution and the continuous struggle of prostitutes. It is because of his attempt to capture each and every aspect of this issue the movie feels a bit stretched especially the revolt of prostitutes against the system designed and ruled by men. The best thing about the writing and direction of Aditya Kriplani is that he is able to establish a connection between the characters and audience especially the lead cast Putul played by very talented Chitrangada Chakraborty . In scenes where Putul is being tortured and harassed by Police and goons the audience will start feeling for her. The audience will also feel happy where Putul is able to win over her rivals. The credit for these has to be given to both the actors and the filmmakers. The director has played very smart in the climax. The director choose to leave the ending very open to tell that the struggle of this section of society (Prostitutes) against the Patriarchy is an ongoing struggle and if there is any solution to this, then that is still to be found. So, all the moviegoers who would be hoping for a conclusive ending has to remain disappointed. The movie has got some violence but that has to be there as it was the need of the story. The director has managed to shoot the movie without any nude and sex scenes. Most of the sex and nude scenes are captured through gestures of hand and faces. This decision by filmmakers and director has to be applauded as shooting a movie based on prostitution without explicit sex and nude scenes is always going to be difficult. This saved the movie from any kind of vulgarity. The impression of movie will remain in audiences mind for some time after they left the theatre mostly because of the hard hitting approach the director has taken to deal with subject.

The plot of the film is gripping. It is a thought provoking film, makes one think of the society, its structure deeply and makes you question it. A actors did a terrific job, they keep you at your toes till the very end. The simplistic approach of story telling makes the film relatable. The director beautifully captures the characters and their emotions, which makes it humane. Its a film to learn from. A must watch.
