Is this even a debate? But for conversation’s sake,
Majnu starts as a predictable storyline that Bollywood has churned out again and again. It’s the story of a Bara Banki overload with criminal dealings, Babloo (Jaideep Ahlawat), and his audacious wife, Lipaskhi (Fatima Sana Shaikh), who questions the patriarchy notions, even when it comes to amoral virtues like cheating. Why should boys have all the fun, or rather, privileges? We see that in her spirit, but also, the pain of being stuck in a loveless marriage. Enter Raj – a good looking London-bound finance graduate who is asked to stay back by Babloo – who soon begins a down-low romance with Lipakshi.
