As a foreigner, coming from a country with a very high degree of gender equality, I am not native to the realities portrayed in this film, nor have I watched many Bollywood movies. Yet it is my opinion that the film in an emotionally moving and very aesthetically pleasing way,through captivating music and great cinematography, raises the important themes of women equality, emancipation and the hardship of discrimination in today's India. From the ease of the intimate dialogue among the varied women, the viewers are allowed to experience the challenges first hand, in the voice of the characters themselves. The viewer is included, almost as if he is sitting there beside them as they laugh, quarrel, debate, cry and grief ...I loved this movie and I still listen to the songs: the "Dil dola re"is very catchy and energetic, while the "Zindagi" ("life") is profound in all its beauty and tenderness (look them up at Youtube). If you're new to Bollywood movies this seems like a good place to start, while at the same time you are exposed to a very important theme in contemporary Indian society.

The title seemed interesting , so did the promos and the soundtrack. The movie, sadly , turned out to be worse than a damp squib. The truth actually is that the movie is not so to blame as are the shoddy and laughable notions of "women-lib" that popular culture is trying to promote .The story is weak and the director fails to create any memorable character in the movie. It is actually unclear why the director chose the settings. The cinematography is mediocre. The issues raised in the movie are not by any means unique and have been tackled much more sensitively in other films. As expected the movie indulged in relentless male bashing . There is a scene where the leading ladies actually mimic stalking a guy ( undoubtedly as an expression of freedom).The film ends like a 90's or 80's bollywood flick , where "the common man" unites to own up responsibility for a murder. Please, the audience deserves better stuff.

Angry Indian goddesses may be good movie for world cinema but is an important movie for Indian cinema. Though there have been movies showing difficulties faced by females in Indian society none has been so comprehensive. Almost every other dialogue quips the hypocrisy of Indian mindset. They have been allowed to fly,but, that like a kite with everybody actively controlling their limits. With such different characters, common thread joining them all is anguish against the society venerating and denigrating females at the same time.Nalin has given another brilliant piece of cinema with strong female characters like the ones we worship. Cinematography is enchanting using the right balance of light and dark. Only God knows what censor board has been trying to censor when everything is so true...

What a delightful film to watch! A must see film for all women because you'll find a connect.. It has been one of the best films screened in the MAMI festival 2015. It has beautiful distinct characters which makes the movie stand out among others. Joanna-the elegant one, Suranjana the angry one, Pam, Mad, and last but not the least Lakshmi. Adil although played a cameo, has done well again. Freida was the most splendid one :) Hats off to the performances guys!!! No doubt I am rating 10/10. Throughout the film, it never occurred to me that its a reel film. Loved the song and the music!!! It is super...Guys go for it. Worth Watching! looking forward for such films more Pan Nalin.Kudos AIG Team!!!
