![]() ![]() It doesn’t do these lovely ladies any favours. ![]() Being labelled ‘goddesses’ seems like a ploy to reel in non-Indians looking for exotica, something the director does well. These are flesh-and-blood women, and the film is delightful till they stay that way. Or was the sudden change in tone meant to be a strong feminist statement? Whatever, it doesn’t quite come off that way. Chortling companionably is one thing turning into raging vigilantes is totally another. The women turn into the ‘angry Indians’ of the title, and the film plummets. A jeering policeman (Adil Hussain, who’s lately been making of habit of playing cops, last seen in ‘Main aur Charles’) shows up, making cracks about women roaming about alone at night, wearing these clothes, etc (it is Goa, dum dum). Where the film goes off track is when it gets into heavier territory.
