From the Paper:

"Viewers come to know since the beginning, that this movie is about some sort of "women-power" " first the mnemonic name and secondly, the opening shot shows Ju and her sister-in-law pushing a cart in which lies her hurt husband. This initial scene puts Ju in the limelight and her husband in a passive role " not much importance is given to his character in the movie ahead as well (Stone). The dominant role of Ju is further reinforced by showing a submissive sister-in-law always ready to do whatever is told to her by Ju. Few words about the plot now - the husband is being taken for an examination to establish amount of damage done to his masculinity after he had a low blow from the village chief. Here, we see strong message of sexual role being propagated through this incident. Ju is worried that the groin injury could leave her husband impotent and this (current) pregnancy could then well be the last one for her - putting and end to her intimate relationship with her husband."
