The Horrors of life without Woman Indian Dystopian movie Matrubhoomi: A Nation without Women

Matrubhoomi is a film based on the issue of female infanticide and female foeticide in a country like India and its effects on gender balance and the recurring social anarchy it creates. Matrubhoomi’s female protagonist Kalki is the last surviving woman who reminding of Draupadi of the Mahabharata undergoes tremendous sexual oppression within family at the hands of male family members. After running through the festival circuit, including the 2003 Venice Film Festival, and 2003 Toronto International Film Festival, Matrubhoomi was commercially released two years later on 8 July 2005, with 150 prints. It was dubbed into six languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Bengali, and French. The film depicts the horrors of life without woman. The film boldly imagines, though it may look unrealistic to many, the femaleness world where in the absence of women the male members of society are transformed into animals. Dystopias generally depict futuristic and rotten societies. The places portrayed by dystopian works are defined by having great uncertainty and misery. They reflect chaotic systems where societal norms and gender roles are turned upside down, and which become perfect scenarios for the emergence of female leaders who can take control of the situation as they are no longer necessarily subjected to a patriarchal system. The idea of Matrubhoomi first came to Jha when he read about a village without women in Gujarat in a news magazine. One night in Paris while surfing the Net, he came across an article that said that over the years, millions of girl children had fallen victims to gender discrimination in India.
