Dolly Kitty and Those Twinkling Stars

Tejas Nair

For me, it was not very clear what Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare (Dolly Kitty and Those Shining Stars) was trying to convey mostly because it is a hot mess about relationships going under. Konkona Sensharma and Bhumi Pednekar star as two sexually frustrated women who try to come in terms with a male-dominated world where female pleasure is taboo. THAT is clear but the commentary seemed half-baked to me and I was confused what director Alankrita Srivastava thinks women empowerment actually is. I am no expert either but at least we both seem to agree with how life turns out for the both the characters at the end. A poor attempt with a humdrum plot and nothing remarkable to take away, including Sensharma's and Pednekar's dull performances. (Grade D+). TN.
