Ajeeb Daastaans, On Netflix: Neeraj Ghaywan's Short Is the Clear Winner In This Patchy Four-Film Collection
Geeli Pucchi means wet kiss. The term signifies the tenuous connection that two women in a small town in North India make with each other. Bharti Mandal, played by a terrific Konkona Sensharma, is the sole woman working on a factory floor. She's smart, ambitious, tough. When a co-worker insults her, she retaliates. But not with a slap. Bharti punches him in the face, like a boxer in a ring. We are told that she gets into fights every two or three months. We are also told that the factory has no toilets for women. But Bharti doesn't complain - either about that or her toxic co-worker. Her rage simmers just beneath the surface. Bharti is female, Dalit and gay. Which means she is marginalized three times over. Her talent and ability alone will never be enough to get her ahead.score /10
