A short film called Riha had a Mumbai premiere at an Andheri studio recently. Riha means unlocked, and the 30-minute movie should have succeeded in unlocking the minds of the audience that packed the studio and overflowed into the aisles and studio floor.

This movie, we said in our report on the première, has been inspired by a Muslim woman activist, who was at the forefront of the instant triple talaq movement, which was criminalised some years ago, in a huge success for many like this who lent their voice to that movement. She is also a co-founder of the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Sangh.
