Pooja Meri Jaan Explores Consent and Male Entitlement in Courtroom Drama on Zee5
Pooja Meri Jaan, directed by Navjot Gulati and streaming on Zee5, explores the consequences of a woman's rejection of a man's romantic advances leading to his suicide and her subsequent legal trial. The film addresses themes of male entitlement, consent, and victim-blaming through courtroom drama and personal narratives. Critics praise the performances of Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi but note the film's execution as uneven, with some finding the screenplay repetitive or rushed, while others appreciate its timely social commentary.
