Ekta Kapoor's BOLD post has a STRONG message to deliver!

There are movies that are made with the intent to entertain, to make you laugh, cry, whistle and more. And then there are movies like "Lipstick Under my Burkha", that pepper all of these with a dash of rebellion. Taking on the 'crazies' who think they're the guardians of women. 

Movies like "Lipstick Under My Burkha" are rare phenomenons, so rare that they deserve more than the accolades bestowed on it, they deserve to be shown to the world with no discrimination on community, gender, age or social strata. 

To all the women who're constantly being told what to do, where to go, how to be - here's an answer. "It takes balls to be a woman. NOT! Women cannot be defined by male paradigms. And to all the men who are man enough to let women be... Lipstick celebrates that very spirit."

Ekta Kapoor, who is presenting the project, put up a very bold and powerful message as she unveiled the film's poster.

Here's what she says: "It takes 'balls' to b a woman! ...aaah NOT????! The way to combat good old patriarchy ... is to question it in d face !!! #lipstickundermyburkha 21july in the theatres!!"
