Did Falak Ali Took Money?


Why she agreed that they took money? I Didn't understand. Can someone explain it?

reply

No obviously she didn't! They clarify this when Amitabh quotes his sick wife as saying that Falak was very brave in saying she took money even though she hadn't! To understand why is the directors (sensible although seemingly outrageous suggestion!) point thattaking money doesnt imply consent. Falak is trying to say that (even if!) money was taken - and consent is withdrawn subsequently - it should be a case of molestation and not consensual sex! This point is important in all the subtexts as many cases are built against a woman to show background, previous sexual escapades, etc. These are irrelevant and should NOT be taken into account - including a sex worker - cannot be forced with sex!!
Falak does this in a moment of frustration when she realises the prosecution is trying to humiliate the girls by money money!! So in anger she says yes, We took money but later Minnal withdrew consent - that should still be molestation in the eyes of the law!

Balbendra's curiosity in itself explains the basis of this film :)
Taking or not taking money is not the question here and should not be a parameter in judging the women or judging the act of the men. But your thought is exactly what the filmmakers wanted to evoke in the viewer's mind. So that we know that there's a Rajveer in most of us.

That's right! I completely agree with your point-of-view and definition.

Your point makes sense, but since they admit taking money in the court, wouldn't a new arc of prostitution charges arise? I'm not sure why they didn't take that up? Views?

I can be wrong here. But as far as i know an individual can involve in the act of prostitution as far as it doesn't involve an institution. Only brothels and other similar institution are illegal.

Really? I am not really sure about that.
