Interesting facts

Juice is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language drama short film directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and produced by Lalit Prem Sharma. Exploring the theme of gender inequality, it stars Shefali Shah as Manju Singh, a woman who is hosting a get-together of families along with her husband Brijesh during a particularly hot evening. The film released to critical acclaim for its subject, direction and particularly Shah's performance. It won two Filmfare Short Film Awards at the 63rd Filmfare Awards, including Best Short Film (Fiction) and Best Actress in a Short Film for Shah.

Production

Ghaywan conceived the idea for the script on his own memories of watching the dynamics between men and women in his own house as a child. He said,

"I have grown up seeing in my family circles the men being sexist and misogynistic while the women would be squeezed into the kitchen. The living room has been an area of male entitlement. Women automatically take the route of the kitchen. And children see this, internalising it. I also found that popular culture looks down on housewives."
