Ep 014 - 2024: The Year of Gentlewomen
Episode 14, Dec 23, 10:02 AM
On this episode of 'The Way We Were', Reema looks back on 2024 - the year of gentlewomen. The triumphs of Payal Kapadia and Kiran Rao created space for cinema without male aggression.
'Laapataa Ladies' garnered a record 13.8 million views on Netflix and toppled 'Animal' in viewership ratings on Netflix, and blockbusters like 'Stree 2' and 'Kalki ' had women at the heart of their narratives.
What set 'All We Imagine as Light' and 'Laapata Ladies' apart was an emphasis on kindness and humanism at a time when performative cruelty and violence run rampant in cinema, OTT shows and politics around the world.
