Kalki Koechlin is a rare, unabashed feminist voice among our celebrities today. Not only can she act, Kalki also has a flair for penning her thoughts down as bold poems and prose. She’s got an opinion on everything and isn’t afraid to speak up. Check out her latest take on our world, that is made up of blaring headlines, juicy reportage, robotic mindsets and our blind consumption of all of these put together – The Printing Machine.
Kalki’s rhythmic and scathing satire on the notion of beauty, women’s empowerment, events that shook the nation and our eventual apathy towards them, is impactful and important. Written and performed by the actress herself, this BLUSH video is an honest effort at pointing out the ridiculousness of the double standards that we as a society have learnt to put up with.
Kalki’s The Printing Machine surely is one of the most powerful things you will come across on the internet today.
