Through its subtle satire and sarcasm, it represents the reality of society. It invokes the deepest emotions of individuals. It is the un-sanitized and explicit portrayal of reality. Take movies like ‘Super Deluxe’, ‘Lipstick under my Burkha’, ‘Aligarh’, ‘Ardha Satya’, ‘Jane Bhi Do Yaaro’, ‘Peepli Live’, ‘Article 15’ that are masterpieces dealing with homosexuality, women’s sexual desire and eroticism, police brutality, politics, and marriage. They have the power to influence the masses towards a particular trend, thought and ideas in the most subtle way. They have the ability to bring in the hardest topic on the table, the conversations that are either brushed under the carpet or talked in hushed voices, weaving stories and narrating them through its cinematic marvels without any moral posturing. These films talk on topics surrounding same-sex love, menstruation, mental health, discrimination, human trafficking, child abuse, sperm donation, impotence etc. These “woke films” break taboos around social issues, exploring lives, stories, experiences of marginalised people. They are a tool through which people can connect with themselves; these are stories that have existed in reality in the audience’s life, stories that is their own. ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ or ‘Padman’ for example portray issues faced by women are brought in public which leads to conversation forward around women’s health issues leading to a significant change in the society.
