Through my cinema, I try investigating the social and cultural positioning of women. What does it mean to be a woman in a particular culture? How are gender roles created and circulated in a particular society? What does it mean for me to be a woman? How can I express the untold experiences of womanhood and identity formation? These are just some of the questions I seek answers to or just simply want to engage in a discourse about; through my cinema. I want to ask: how’s the social category women, manifested through rituals and role-playing? What are the rewards for playing the right woman? What are the punitive measures, if one doesn’t? What do we desire and why?

The characters of Pink Blossom are of different age group ranging from 25-65 year old women. They are struggling to come in terms with their sexuality, to claim their bodies and desires—in the search for a self, which is beyond the masculine dominated world. These women come from a particular social class-that is of the ultra rich society in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Their privilege of the gilded cage offers a vast array of choices, however, always with a final limit. If she flies free, she loses the golden chain, the privilege.

Life is, thus, an endless conundrum.
