You can’t keep a good woman down! That is the clear warning to men in this superb, heart-warming study of women in modern-day India, “Sivaranjani and Two Other Women”, which is based on three stories taken from prominent Tamil writers. In the first, a lazy husband gets emotionally and physically abusive with his wife.In a more affluent setting, an educated and successful daughter-in-law is denied her right to privacy by her extended family. While elsewhere, the hopes of an aspiring sports champion are crushed when she is married off into a modern middle-class family.All three women rise to these challenges with such energy and gusto that, by the end of the film, they will have you standing up to applaud and cheer them on.
