Mainstream Indian cinema has historically functioned as a moral guardian, often relegating female characters to the polarities of the "chaste heroine" or the "vamp." Alankrita Shrivastava’s Lipstick Under My Burkha disrupts this binary by centering the narrative on female pleasure, fantasy, and frustration. Set in the congested bylanes of Bhopal, the film weaves together the stories of a college student, a beautician, a mother of three, and a 55-year-old widow. This paper aims to deconstruct how the film exposes the hypocrisies of a society that demands female submission while denying female autonomy, using the private sphere as a site of rebellion.
