Fatafati (2023)

Proud as an audience

I am an avid fashion lover. And I religiously follow the fashion trends across the globe, keeping an eye on whatever is happening everywhere. And I loved it when Fullora Bhaduri discarded the use of heels right at the end of the film. Earlier the the heel controversy at Festival de Cannes sparked a serious conversation about the shoes women wear and their reasons for wearing them on the red carpet. Heels may look great but it also hurts women and to not be allowed to wear comfort shoes in public is a big issue. Hollywood actors have raised their voice against the trend of wearing heels on the red carpet and here, in an Indian film, the same has been shown. I felt very proud as an audience member that the conversation has been taken forward. And yes, heels are no longer 'essentials of a fashion show'. True that.
