People’s perception about women describes how women tend to be labelized with various drawbacks. Futhermore, many films put women as appendages to satisfy the desire of seeing the physical polish only, without portraying positive side of a woman which actually represents her personal integrity.

Besides, the movie shows some gender imbalances in Parliament and political life which are synonymous with patriarchal ideology.

Woman, who is able to oversee, maintain and nurture the country, even stronger, more resilient, and more manly than men.
