Charukesi

Charukesi is a lot of things. It chronicles the end stages of a man's life, it dissects the relationships between various members of a fractured family, it tries to construct a story debating some spiritual and philosophical arguements. But it ends up being a lecture. A lecture from a man, who might mean well, but has morals that is stuck in the past. When a woman is shown in a negative shade, the things that represent her are a chudidhar, or having non-vegetarian food. Even, when one tries to play the devil's advocate and argue that every house has its own rules, terming non-vegetarian food consumption as a wrong thing, is in itself wrong. Idealogical debates aside, Charukesi also goes through a mid-life crisis.
