SYNOPSIS<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhopal, India: Four women try to deal with social restrictions and their desire for more freedom. Alankrita Shrivastava’s entertaining comic drama is an ode to women’s independence, regardless of age or origin. The censors initially refused to certify the film on account of “sexual content, abusive words and audio pornography”. The head censor said it was too “lady-oriented”. Set in the crowded lanes of small-town India, LIPSTICK UNDER MY BURKHA chronicles the secret lives of four women in search of a little freedom.
A burkha-clad college girl struggles with issues of cultural identity and her aspirations to be a pop singer. A young two-timing beautician seeks to escape the claustrophobia of her small town. An oppressed housewife and mother of three lives the alternate life of an enterprising saleswoman. And a 55 year-old widow rediscovers her sexuality through a phone romance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
