Gargi is an extraordinary Tamil film starring Sai Pallavi, which portrays the dilemma in the mind of a daughter about a loved father - is he an angel or a demon?
Trigger Warning: This deals with child sexual abuse and may be triggering for survivors.
Gargi is a Tamil movie that explores the theme of good vs. evil but with a difference.
The story: a security guard at an apartment building is accused of assaulting an eight-year-old child. His daughter does everything possible to prove him innocent. She takes the help of an inexperienced junior lawyer who finds loopholes in the police investigation and manages to prove that he is not guilty.
But, later on, she realizes that he had indeed committed the misdeed. She takes immediate action to put him behind bars.
Every girl idolizes her father. This blind love and trust must have clouded Gargi’s judgment. Moreover, her father saved her from being molested when she was a child. Maybe, that’s one of the reasons that she did not even consider the possibility that he might have done any wrong.
We all have the habit of convincing ourselves that our near and dear ones can never make mistakes. We believe that we are always right and always the other party is in the wrong.
All of us make errors, big or small. We have to accept the consequences, either way. We don’t have to be a ‘bad’ person to make blunders. We have to battle the good vs. evil in our mind and let the good win, on a daily basis.
Why is Gargi a must watch and a favourite film? Because it makes us realize that we all have an angel and a demon within ourselves.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
