Reasons to watch Feminichi Fathima

Themes that does not limit to any particular community

Regardless of their culture and beliefs, many individuals find the plot to be plausible. The creators have attempted to portray a universal theme—the patriarchy that persists in our society despite years of progress—without disparaging any specific community. Another significant topic covered is the value of equality and financial independence.

A serious subject told in a light-hearted manner

It certainly challenges the preconceptions that persist in our society, but with a hilarious undertone. The audience is entertained by the situational humour that arises from some genuine scenarios. Fathima is not presented as a woman who suddenly becomes self-reliant and walks out of her problems with ease. Instead, she is a lady who takes her time to understand the world and figure out how to approach her issues with patience.

Fasil Muhammed's direction

The filmmaker does a fantastic job of portraying sexism while still bringing deeply moving moments in the movie.

Fasil effectively evokes strong feelings in the audience that last long after they leave the theatre, without resorting to a lot of gimmicks or dialogue.
