The film has attracted the multiplex crowd and the topic being relatable to almost all, it has found its connect. What makes these numbers more special is the film had a tough competition from Tiger Shroff-Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s film Munna Michael and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk. Amongst all of this the film has found its audience and that’s applaudable.

Lipstick Under My Burkha is a tale of four women and if you see them they’re like any other normal women you see in your day to day life. But what they do with their lives makes this film special. Alankrita Shrivastava, director, in this black comedy, has made some brilliant efforts to present how these women feel in the men’s world.

Next week we’ll see the release of Mubarakan and Indu Sarkar which will cover the huge chunk of screens, so to sustain some screens – Lipstick Under My Burkha along with stable collections over weekdays should also carry a positive word of mouth through audience. Controlled budget and limited screen space make these numbers look more towering than they are.

The film before releasing in India was showcased at over 30 film festivals and received overwhelmingly positive reviews from all over. It has also been critics’ favourite in India too. On the other hand, Munna Michael was low on day one and Dunkirk opened well considering it released only in English.
