S1 Ep75: Toilet: Ek Problematic (but Important) Katha

1) Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is problematic in so many ways, most significantly reinforcing stalking and male privilege in a film about empowering women and giving them basic rights.

2) Despite this, the main crux of the movie - toilets and lack thereof - is addressed and delivered effectively. Bhumi Pednekar overshadows Akshay but is given limited opportunity to so in the second half because...Bollywood.

3) We look ahead to (in order of excitement and in reverse order of likely box office success) Newton, Fukrey 2, and Simran

4) Our guest Ashwin gives us a quick down-low on Lipstick Under My Burkha and why it was so effective.
