LIPSTICK UNDER MY BURKHA, the sassiest film of the year, in cinemas 21 July 2017! Starring Konkona Sensharma, Ratna Pathak Shah, Aahana Kumra, Plabita Borthakur with Vikrant Massey. Lipstick Under My Burkha was banned in India, for being "lady-oriented," "fantasy above life" "containous Sexual scenes" "audio pornography" and "abusive words."
Set in the heart of the crowded streets of a small town in India, Lipstick Under My Burkha shows the secret lives of four women in search of a little freedom. Although repressed and trapped in their world, they claim their desires by small acts of courage. Lipstick Under My Burkha is an insolent comedy, fighting against the submission of women to laws and traditions. For the director, lipstick is the symbol of all these hidden dreams and desires.
