I love your thoughtful critique of the masculine/feminine elements. I hadn't considered this when I saw it but it is obvious patriarchal ideas are present in this regime and that it extinguishes ideas of nurturing and love, the symbol of a mother. I also really loved that the end fight included the hijras, which further drove the point that this fight was not just revenge but something on which hope and change could be built.
