About Movie
The Dangal Movie begins by showing how Mahavir Singh cannot compete for the Olympics because he succumbs to social pressure to “conform” to a job that is a source of income and get married for to have a “normal” family life. However, she still regrets doing so, so she wants a son to fulfill her dream of winning a gold medal for the country. This is where the space of feminism is very important to analyze the role of men and women in relation to the struggle with “masculinity”.
When his wife is pregnant with their first child, he goes up and down desperately wanting the news to be in favor of a boy. However, when he found out that he had given birth to a girl, he was angry. For the second time when they try to get pregnant, everyone in the village gives them crazy ways to have a boy.
During the time of his wife’s delivery, everyone gathers around with a box of sweets to take “credit” for enlightening them with the methods with which it was possible to give birth to a baby boy. “Misfortune” overtakes and the second time too a girl child is born to him. He is angry again that the small detail of not distributing sweets among people shows how there is no idea of ”celebration” when a girl is born.
However, he did not want to be seen as a misogynist of sex, so he told his wife: “Bura mat maan na, lekin mujhe jo sapna Poora karna hai, woh beta hi kar paawe hai.
This comment really touched me because I come from a liberal background and the privilege of “educated” women and the birth of a small child is not frowned upon as it is in families that again, but in the same way, I often hear from my relatives and my people. Family friends say this to each other when a small child is born: “Ek Ladka toh hona chahiye. Property kya damaad (son) ko doge?
Despite Indian laws that give property rights to women, asking for a share of her father’s property is considered a “greedy” woman, if she has siblings. If she is the sole inheritor of the property, it is assumed that her husband will take over the property. Moving on to the film, Sakshi Tanwar (Mahavir’s wife) gets pregnant twice expecting to have a boy, but it happens each time they give birth to a girl. This forces Mahavir Singh to give up hope of having a son to train to compete in wrestling and win a gold medal for India at the Olympics.
Their daily life goes on until one day Mahavir’s daughters – Geeta and Babita defeat two boys. It was then that he got the idea to train them for the “bigger thing” of winning a gold medal for India at the Olympics. We can see one thing clearly here, as in our everyday life – the birth of a son is celebrated and there are certain goals and ambitions that should be pre-given by society and family for them.
However, as girls, we must always prove our worth in order to be treated with the same respect and honor again and again. This becomes more evident when Geeta and Babita come back from their friend’s mehandi ceremony (be careful, the friend is only 14 years old) and constantly complains about how difficult it is to become a rival with them. -miss lead. a “normal” life of a girl.
It was then that their friend made them understand how happy they are to have a father like Mahavir who takes care of his children; otherwise, parents usually marry off their children as soon as they grow up. This is the bottom of my five words; why are girls made to think that giving them “basic human rights” is a privilege? That’s when Geeta and Babita realize that they are “privileged” and now want to take wrestling seriously so they don’t get married at a young age.
These two girls would certainly have had more options to choose from throughout their lives, but the story and plot of the film make it seem like there are few options – where there are none. opportunity. of these girls exercising. his own “company”.
Their father has an emotional way of convincing them of his dream of raising his daughters to be fighters, not to make their daughters strong, courageous and independent women, but to achieve gold medal for India.
