For me, it was not very clear what Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare (Dolly Kitty and Those Shining Stars) was trying to convey mostly because it is a hot mess about relationships going under. Konkona Sensharma and Bhumi Pednekar star as two sexually frustrated women who try to come in terms with a male-dominated world where female pleasure is taboo. THAT is clear but the commentary seemed half-baked to me and I was confused what director Alankrita Srivastava thinks women empowerment actually is. I am no expert either but at least we both seem to agree with how life turns out for the both the characters at the end. A poor attempt with a humdrum plot and nothing remarkable to take away, including Sensharma's and Pednekar's dull performances. (Grade D+). TN.
