"Raat Rani"- Modern Love Mumbai

Hello Learners!!!


      This task is given by our professor Vaidehi Hariyani. In this blog I will try to connect the character of Lali shown in 'Raat Rani' as part of independence. 


What is independent according to (ChatGpt) Independent refers to a state of autonomy or self-reliance where an entity, individual, or organization can act, make decisions, or function without being influenced, controlled, or dependent on external factors or outside forces.


Raat Rani episode is a part of Modern Mumbai Love series. Which has been telecasted on amazon prime video. Its lead characters include Fatima Sana Shaikh, Bhupendra Jadawat, Dilip Prabhavalkar. The story directed by Sonali Bose. Let's discuss about the story.



Modern Mumbai Love


                


Lali played by Fatima Sana Sheikh, is a Kashmiri who had run away to Mumbai to marry Lutfi. They work odd jobs to make ends meet. He is a watchman at an upscale apartment, and she is a cook and a nanny. We meet them 10 years into their marriage. One day, Lutfi suddenly disappears. Lali can’t find him anywhere and he doesn’t respond to her calls. She learns to leave herself and build a new life her own. Sonali Bose's 'Raat Rani' inspires women to love themselves.



1. List down the contradictory symbols you observed in the episode “Raat Rani”.


In the story Lali seems to be trying to become independent.  He evens the ceiling on the roof, working alone even at night.  Thus in the story, Sonali Bose has tried to show the woman as independent, for which he has also used many symbols.  Which are as follows.


In this scene as we know that Lali was a Kashmiri girl and lived here in a love marriage with Latif., Lali divorces her husband while the Taj Mahal stands behind her, which is a symbol of love. Taj Mahal has always been a symbol of love, whenever it comes to love Taj Mahal comes to mind but here when Lali meets Latif, she leaves Latif in front as a courageous woman.  It comes here as a symbol of contrast as two lovers fall apart against the symbol of love.


As mentioned above, the thinking that only men can do some work is proved wrong when the roof breaks and Lali shows it by equalizing it with her salary.  Here we can say that a man cannot do everything, a woman can do everything if she thinks.




2. Which is your favourite symbol from Raat Rani? Why?


In the series we can see many symbols are signify. Lali is seen as Raat Rani.  After her husband leaves her, she starts selling kavo at night to support herself.  And when his mistress sees Lali like this, she gives him the queen of night's flower and says, 


रातरानी की महक से साप निकल आते है तो उसकी महक दबाने के लिए लोग बाजुमें एक और पेड़ लगा देते है ‘दिन का राजा’. अब दिन का राजा लगाओ या बेंड का बाजा बजाओ,  उससे रातरानी की खुश्बू तो काम नही होगी ना ?




3. Which is your favourite frame from the episode? Why?


Lali looks extremely happy in both the above frames. They would travel on his scooter. He leaves a cycle behind for her to travel now, which she is unable to ride properly on the Mumbai roadsBecause he has crossed the bridge for the first time.  She feels liberated. she has “crossed the highway”, a metaphor for moving ahead without him. Raat Raani was inspires womens to love themeselves.


4. Compare and write a note on all the women characters from Raat Rani.


In this series, we feel isolated in the place where Lali works.  Here 3 womens are shows. Lali is worried because her husband has left her, while another woman is worried because her bread has run out.  Middle class and rich class have appeared here. Those people are constantly seen fighting for property. At the last laali started to brought kahva in mumbai high way.


5. “Courage is Contagious” – Give an example for this from the episode.


Courage is a powerful quality that can influence and positively impact the people around us. It can create a sense of unity and strength within a community, as more and more people are motivated to take action and make positive changes in their own lives and the lives of others. So, remember, being courageous not only helps you but also has the potential to spread and make the world a better and braver place for everyone.


'Courage' featured in this series in which Lali's character is set.  Lali's life comes with many problems like her husband leaves her, after that the roof of the house breaks, the bridge cannot be crossed, she fights all these problems and works with courage. 

Lali's says in the one scene 


In this she despises the society and goes forward with courage.


She does not give up and sells kava at night. Wherever she works, she also inspires it, and thus we can say that courage is contagious.



6.Share a picture of yours with a woman who is your source of courage. Give a creative title to it.

                 

         

The Eternal Source of My Courage : My Mother 


In my life my mother is source of my courage every time she also support me. In very early age I have get many problems in my life but all times my mother stand behind me as a my support system. She has always taught me to act with courage in every situation in life. She always encourage me in little thing. Whenever I get tired of any problem, she supports me by becoming my courage.
