Wha...?!

I'm reading reviews of Laaga Chunari Mein Daag like one possessed. Why? This is why:

"The men are hardly there in the film" says Rediff
"And the fact is the men here -- Abhishek Bachchan and Kunal Kapoor -- are nothing more than mere props" says The Hindu
"As for the male actors, well they don’t really have much to do" says The Indian Express
And CNN IBN doesn't even have a mention of the male characters

Is this happening? Isn't this what we have been reading for decades about women in cinema? Ha!

Of course, it's a completely different story that the film has been unanimously trashed :)

Could it be that they do not like it because there are no men in the film? Pardon the cynicism but one cannot help it!

exactly what I was thinking. Because my mum saw the movie with like a country of her women friends and they all came out loving it! I bet most these critics are men too.
