I have always admired the old movies which showed the true state of society, the true image of our lives always bringing up a new scenario. Browsing through the channels during my almost ending vacation, I came across the movie "ABHIMAN", an award winning movie starring Amitabh and Jaya Bacchhan. Had always loved the movie because of the passion and love, and ofcourse amazing acting by all the actors. In my teens whenever, I had watched this movie, I had felt emotional by watching Subeer and Uma's love for each other!
But today, I saw a totally different angle of the movie, Uma, who got a lot of fame because of her singing was abandoned by her in-secured husband Subeer, became a victim of depression and lost her unborn child.
Suddenly Subeer appears and tries to rescue her. And he takes desperate measures to save her, really appreciate that, but raised a question in my mind, when there is a problem in the marriage, why does a women has to suffer to the extent of her life to save her relationship and for the husband to even notice that yes now she has proved that she truly wants this relationship? On the other hand, the husband would lead a totally normal life with drinking as a stupid excuse to show that he is mourning too.
Why does the society expects women to suffer for everything, even when the relationship is a responsibility of both partners.
How many times does a women has to suffer to prove her loyalty to a relationship, isn't it enough that she has already left her parents, her entire life with them, to be with a man whom she knows for just some years. She would prove her loyalty further, by giving him a heir so that he can proudly boast in the society that he now has his own blood, (no one ever speaks that its actually the mother whose blood runs through the child's body, the only thing the father donates is some genes).
I consoled myself thinking that its an old movie and the society has changed now, BUT HAS IT NOW?
