Mirch Movie Review
You are forewarned at the outset that this movie talks of four adulterous people. But the question is, haven't we watched men cheating women in soooo many films in the past? Haven't women caught their men with their pants down, in the past? So what's new in MIRCH? For a change, the women in MIRCH are into adultery. They are the ones who are cheating on their husbands and in each of those stories the woman manages to go scot-free when caught red-handed with her lover.

Is the audience mature enough to handle the portrayal of female sexuality on screen? Well, first and foremost, movie goers are mature enough to understand and laud good themes and subjects and MIRCH, which director Vinay Shukla refers to as "a celebration of womanhood", narrates four separate stories based on issues of women emancipation and also dabbles with gender equality in a relationship. It's a sex comedy with generous doses of wit; not a serious take on feminism. Again, it is erotic in parts, but not vulgar. We've seen lots of movies dealing with male sexuality, but MIRCH deals with women's libido and that too in a funny way.
