Introduce the actor akshay kumar who plays Lakshmi in this film. He is a famous action movie actor in Bollywood, India. He studied martial arts in Hong Kong before becoming an actor, which also made him a hot action movie hero in Bollywood. He is not only an action movie, but also known as king of comedy of Bollywood, and he has also made various romantic movies. His film style is similar to Jackie Chan's. He has also appeared in more than 120 films and has his own film studio.
It is worth mentioning that the guest who presented the award to Lakshmi in the film was Amidap Bajiang, an actor I also introduced in the film review of "Dad 102" released not long ago. Interested fans can have a look.
Arunachalam, an Indian grassroots entrepreneur who is a film producer, is the prototype of the hero of this film, and his real experience has been made into this film. /kloc-dropped out of school at the age of 0/4, but was called "the father of menstrual towels". The film took place in 1998, when the utilization rate of sanitary napkins used by Indian women was only 12%. Of course, Arunachalam is no longer the "pervert" who has been accused and abused in the movie, but has become a hero and a successful charity entrepreneur in the hearts of the Indian people.
This Indian film once again pointed the finger at the issue of women's rights in Indian society. After the film was released, it also changed the views of some Indians. Moreover, movies do not belong to the category of pseudo-emptiness, but start from solving the most realistic problems in society.
The reason why Lakshmi, the hero of the film, embarked on this "road of no return" is because of what his beloved wife experienced in a "special period". Not only did his wife have to spend those days on the balcony, but even the cloth she used was very unsanitary. The answer he got from the doctor is a common problem in Indian society. Many girls will get sick or even die because of this health problem. This also hit him ideologically and faced a very big test.
The biggest problem that stops him is that technical support is only one aspect, and the big problem is that it is the most difficult to change people's backward and decadent ideas. We also see this problem in many Indian movies, that is, the social status of Indian women.
Backward and decadent ideas fill every corner of Indian society. They think that menstruation is a shameful thing and an unclean thing, and the pads are out of men's reach. Everyone is avoiding this question, and even holding a sanitary napkin will be shameful. Moreover, women would rather spend 5 1 ruble to pray for health to the gods than 55 rubles to get real health.
And what he worked so hard to do got no support. All the relatives are unwilling, even the students in the health school feel unreliable, so he can only experiment on his own. This also caused my sister to go home and cry and condemn him. His wife left him and two sisters were sent away. Even the old mother was ashamed to deny her son. He was condemned by the whole village and had to leave his hometown to study while working.
Finally, many good things happen. He made the very expensive manufacturing machines of those big companies in every way he could get help. This homemade machine only needs 90,000 rubles, while the price of each pad is only 2 rubles. This price is far from the "free" brand pads that cost 55 rubles in the market.
But even if his machine won the grand prize, the villagers' views were still so shameful and disgusting. He didn't want to apply for a patent at first, because he knew that the machine he had worked so hard to make was for Indian women and made it affordable for people at home. When it is sold to a big company, the price of the pad will not change. But he found himself wrong, and he couldn't change people's ideas.
So he and his first user embarked on a road that no one dared to try-opening patents and providing job opportunities for unemployed women.
He taught women to use machines, hired them to work in their own factories, and encouraged them to start their own factories to achieve economic independence, which not only greatly improved the utilization rate of pads, but also brought a lot of employment opportunities for women.
This is why he can be called a hero. In fact, it is not only his fearless spirit that dares to confront backward and decadent ideas, but also his contribution to India and even some countries in the world.
Finally, he was invited to give a speech at the United Nations Building in new york. He said: "The strength of a country and a nation cannot be completely based on the strength of men, but the true strength of women can represent the true strength of this country." This is the practical significance of this film.
Of course, there are also many viewers who think that he should not go back to find a wife. Although I don't think so, isn't his initial intention for his beloved wife? So the ending is reasonable.
