the ending of Qala, explained 📻| discussing mental health & mother wounds

Welcome to my Bollywood Feminist Film Series! In this series, I highlight & provide an analysis on films that focus on womens issues / the LGBTQ+ community.

In this film analysis video, I discuss the breakdown of Qala (both the character & the film itself).

This is a 2022 Bollywood film available to watch on Netflix, written and directed by Anivita Dutt, starring Tripti Dimri.

This film is set in 1930s - 1940s pre- independence India & follows the journey of Qala, her mental health, and the dark secrets of her past.

My analysis focuses on aspects of the film & symbolism in the film that I find significant, so feel free to comment below and let me know your own takeaways from this important film ⤵️
