Abstract: Feminism is an often-misconstrued term. People often associate the term with man hating and female over bearing while the third wave especially of feminism concentrates on social, political, economic and cultural equality of the sexes. The more dangerous interpretation of the term is when people disguise elements like classism, ageism and sexism as comedy in movies that are marketed as feminist flicks. French post-structuralist critic Michel Foucault’s theory of heterotopia is used to analyse how the films exhibit tendencies of sexism especially pointing at older women disguised as humor by taking into consideration the movie Bangalore Days by Anjali Menon. The paper intents to show why it is imperative that films that are marketed a feminist-films should take it upon themselves to make sure that they adhere more to the responsibility of portraying women in positive formats and not b enslaved to the cliches that often cater to the male gaze.
Keywords: Bangalore Days, Feminism, Foucault, Humor, Menon
