LIPSTICK UNDER MY BURKHA—LIVE TWEET REVIEW

 

FINALLY IT'S HAPPENING! Ever since we saw the first look of Alankrita Shrivastava's Lipstick Under My Burkha way back in 2016, we knew we were in for a blast. However, as luck would've had it, it fell prey to the CBFC's baseless measures and ended up getting delayed.

The film, starring Konkona Sen Sharma, Aahana Kumra, Plabita Borathakur and Ratna Pathak Shah, has withered all these storms and is all set to hit the screens today. After gaining winning accolades round the world and receiving unanimous praise from critics, what remains to be seen is will the audience accept the film? We are in the theatre to find out just that and experience the roller-coaster of a ride Lipstick Under My Burkha promises to be!

LUMB falls prey to a working day- only 20-30 people here. Our hopes are very high though.#LipstickUnderMyBurkha #fdfs

LUMB has a slow start. Looks like we're watching the trailer all over again. *fingers crossed*#LipstickUnderMyBurkha #fdfs

Despite the serious undertones, there's a touch of humour to each character which we absolutely love!#LipstickUnderMyBurkha #fdfs

Interesting narrative techniques on display here. The #RatnaPathakShah reading an erotic novel angle—superb!#LipstickUnderMyBurkha #fdfs

And out of nowhere, it's intermission! LUMB, sadly, has been predictable. #LipstickUnderMyBurkha #fdfs

LUMB picks up well in the second half. @konkonas, like always, is in her prime. Mesmerising is the word!#LipstickUnderMyBurkha #fdfs
