“Dhak Dhak” is a road movie that’s like a breath of fresh air, especially for women. Directed by Tarun Dudeja, it’s all about four women who hop on their motorcycles and take off on an adventure that’s as freeing as the wind beneath their wings.
The film has its share of dramatic moments, though some might feel a tad forced. But the overall message is what really shines.

2. Tejas
Tejas,” brought to life by director and writer Sarvesh Mewara, is a must-watch for women. It takes you on an electrifying ride into the life of Tejas Gill, an Indian Air Force officer unwaveringly dedicated to defending the nation. What’s exciting is that the movie also shines a spotlight on India’s prowess in air action, featuring the indigenous fighter jet, Tejas.
It emphasized the sacrifices of our unsung heroines in uniform. Kangana Ranaut plays an Air Force pilot who places the country above all else. It’s a gripping tale of the armed forces, with impactful dialogues and top-notch action and visual effects that make it a compelling choice for women and all movie buffs.
3. Foe
Picture a world on the brink of collapse due to climate change, where a young couple, Junior (Paul Mescal) and Henrietta (Saoirse Ronan), are barely holding onto their marriage in an isolated farmhouse. Their love, like the dying land surrounding them, has withered away. But everything changes when a slick government official named Terrence (Aaron Pierre) reveals a shocking proposition: Junior has been chosen for a mission to an off-world space community, and during his absence, an identical AI will replace him in both his home and marriage.
Directed by Garth Davis, the film, though a bit too focused on style over substance, explores the complexities of human-AI relationships. Despite some overwrought moments, Mescal and Ronan deliver compelling performances that showcase the raw emotions and human experiences that make the movie worth watching. It’s a story of love, betrayal, and a glimpse into a bleak future.
4. Le Ravissement
In 2023, Iris Kaltenbäck’s movie “Le Ravissement,” featuring Hafsia Herzi, Alexis Manenti, and Nina Meurisse, secured a spot in the Critics’ Week competition at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. The film centers on Lydia, a midwife grappling with a broken relationship, whose life takes a tumultuous turn due to a lie. Hafsia Herzi plays Lydia, who, amidst a painful breakup, gets entangled in a lie when her friend Salomé, portrayed by Nina Meurisse, claims to be pregnant and asks for her help. The chance encounter with Milos, portrayed by Alexis Manenti, adds further complexity to this emotional drama exploring themes of love, friendship, motherhood, and the repercussions of deceit. Iris Kaltenbäck’s direction and the cast’s performances promise an emotionally engaging cinematic experience, delving into moral dilemmas and intricate relationships.
We recommend this movie to every woman as it delves into the complexities of relationships portrayed very well in a manner of a slow-burn thriller with some top notch acting by Hafsia Herzi.
“Thank You For Coming” defies stereotypes by showcasing women who are unapologetically themselves, drinking, partying, and expressing their desires without inhibition. This fearless sex comedy dives into female pleasure and empowerment. Directed by Karan Boolani, the film spotlights women’s long-suppressed sexual needs, aiming to normalize open conversations about it. It’s a story of women seeking happiness in various aspects of life, breaking free from societal norms and the judgments they face. Beyond being a sex-positive comedy, it’s a powerful stance against patriarchy and the constraints placed on women. “Thank You For Coming” is a refreshing and empowering departure from convention.
