At the start of She season one, everyone thought it was going to be a web series that will help women to empower themselves, but as the story moves further, it actually becomes sexist and sordid.
In the first season of Netflix, Aaditi Phonkar (Bhumika Pardesi) was started as a constable who was selected for an undercover mission by her senior, Jason Fernandez. Aaditi worked as a prostitute for an undercover mission to catch the gang of a dangerous and mastermind drug lord named Nayak.
In the second season, you can see Bhumi getting confused between choosing her life and deciding what should she choose. Should she become a cop and help the police to arrest Nayak like the previous Bhumi or choose the new Bhumi that Nayak showed her, the independent woman she is, and stay loyal to Nayak?
The plot and moral dilemma of the story has an interesting assumption. But the creators wasted time, money, and the opportunity to create something huge. To make something that can set goals and become ideal for others.
She said the creators repeated the mistake Bollywood has been making for decades. She could have been an ideal web series who taught the rest. Real women are, and what’s the real meaning of women’s empowerment? Rather, this web series treated women as an object.
She is showing a mirror of the real world, how men think strong women should be. The story revolves around Bhumi, who is a police constable during the day and a prostitute at night. The web series tried to balance between Bhumika reclaiming her self-esteem and reawakening her sexual life but because of the voyeurism, the story got distracted.
SHE Season 2: Unsettling But BeautifulÂ
Aaditi Phonkar tried her best to bring the real pain, ambition and dilemma of Bhumika in front of an audience. Kishore as Nayak did a fantastic job. Kishore as an actor has proved himself in the south several time but now it is time that Hindi audiences get to see the magic, too.
Vishwas Kini as ACP Jason Fernandez also did a great job as his character in the web series is a stereotypical Police officer in Indian society. The audience is bored of the same stereotype of Police we want something new.
She promised the audience that this web series will teach women to regain their confidence and learn how to love themselves and be independent in the man domain world. She is being controlled by men since she is born.
It can be a feminist tale with some crime scenes in the middle of the story. But the sexist and voyeuristic things in the story change the total scenario of the series. And it started focusing on how unquestionable men want women to be.
SHE season 2 has so much more on its plate that it’s definitely not central to the story anymore. Now, it’s a tale of an undercover cop who loses her way and ends up crossing the line, a tale told a thousand times better elsewhere.
