Picture : Wikipedia

Juice is a short film which was realsed in 2017 writer and directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and was produced by Lalit Prem Sharma. The film stares Shefali Shah, Suneeta Sengupta and Manish Chaudhari and many other actor. This film talk about women having to choose between  family or career and women role in the house . This is a classic Neeraj Ghaywan movie where social issue are told in the most subtle way possible which make the audience keep thinking like his other film Masaan,Ajeeb Daastaans, Shorts .

A great house party with friends is unmatched. After a demanding workweek, it's customary for Indian households to catch up with their loved ones. In the open air, the elderly are chatting about intriguing global events and their own week's activities. Although women are supposed to take care of their home, their kids, and men's egos in addition to being excellent hosts,

In the movie, Ghaywan talks about how ''progressive'' families still inadvertently presume that women are supposed to give up their careers and that they belong in the kitchen. He understands that marriage these days, especially among friends who grew up in small towns, is a licence to repeat old family traditions. Suddenly, everyone is their parents and old people from the past. Where men were applauded for their hard work and women were oftentimes assumed to have done nothing, it was made to feel like there was a divide between men and women.

I found a dialogue concerning a discussion to be quite noteworthy in the film. In the kitchen, the wives of the men are shown conversing with the pregnant woman. They ask her why they aren't parents and who would look after her and her husband when they become older. She responds, "What assurance will you offer that the child will look after us? Is it a fixed deposit or a child?" This demonstrates the extremely narrow-minded mindset that some people still possess, which holds that having children fixes all issues and that those who choose not to have children, for whatever reason, find a way to turn it negative and begin to voice their opinions. views from the opposing side.

The film addresses the pervasive sexism in our civilizations in a subtle but straightforward manner. It also emphasizes how prevailing our culture has been and, to some degree, continues to be.
