Ladies Special
(Ladies Special ) Director: Nidhi Tuli, IND, 2003, Hindi / English subtitles, 30 min
Ladies Special is an account of journeys of women commuters travelling from Virar to Churchgate during office hours, in Mumbai’s only women only train called Ladies Special. The film gently uncovers the humour and the solidarity of female commuters as they create a space for themselves somewhere between work and home in the highly stressful life of Mumbai City. A space where they are not anybody’s wives, mothers, daughters–in–law, mothers–in–law… they are simply women. As one of the commuters rightly says “It’s their time and it’s time out.”
This film is part of a program curated by Karan Bali, filmmaker and co–founder of Upperstall.com
