Hidden Feminism in Sheila Ki Jawani - Page 4

Nowadays apart from actors, feminism is overrated in the forum.

well now that I see it and hear it...and then again see it...this song makes more sense to me. 👍🏼

Himesh reshamiyya is the biggest feminist. His song
"No touching, no touching
 Only seeing, only seeing"
from the movie Damadaam could be a feminist slogan.

The song should be tweaked to
'No commenting, no clicking,
only seeing, only seeing'
to be used as pamphlets to be given to all journalists.

I remember laughing out loud the first time I watched the music video for "Sheila Ki Jawani." I remember being taken aback by Katrina Kaif - per usual a paragon of all things sexy - thrusting herself at me with her midriff and cleavage and legs deliberately bared, while simultaneously telling me, emphatically and with no room for doubt, that she knows I want it but I'm never gonna get it. I'm never gonna get her body. I remember delightedly grappling with the cognitive dissonance Sheila created, her tongue firmly in cheek.

"Main tere haath na aani" sounded to me like an empowering and explicit withholding of consent. And to see it sung by a scantily clad, pelvic-thrusting woman was to be told: Look, I can be as overtly sexual and "immodest" as I want to and still not grant you any further physical permissions.

I remember getting predictably addicted to the criminally catchy tune, but remaining pleasantly surprised by the very, very progressive message I perceived: Sheila will allow you some access to her body. Sheila will flaunt her body. Sheila will be totally thrilled for you to look at her body. But anything you do with Sheila's body will be decidedly, nonnegotiably on Sheila's terms. Don't even think about assuming otherwise.

I need a man who can gimme all that. Empty pockets, jobless; No no I don't like him like that"

What is feminism to some, KLPD to others.

Who wrote this anyway? Vishal Dadlani's (The lyricist) friend?

if u dissect the lyrics the message you get is that she decides if she wants to bestow any favors...but really, i diubt that was the lyricists intention. shes just being a tease. its like beyonce putting up the feminist projection at her concert before breaking into the bow down bi*shes track. *eyeroll*
