The most controversial film of 2017 is finally scheduled to release in theaters on July 21, 2017. The filmmakers fought a long battle with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to get clearance for it’s release in India.

CBFC has finally granted an ‘A’ Certificate to the film allowing it’s release.
The film is all about the secret lives of four small town women who want to live their sexual fantasies. The trailer has bold lines and sexual acts. ‘Why are you scared of our freedom?’, is the common question asked by a girl, in the trailer.
