This one is a bit of quandary.
We didn’t expect this movie to do much but we think it squeaked past the Bechdel finish line. It has two named female characters: Naina and Aditi. Naina (Deepika Padukone) and Aditi (Kalki Koechlin) have more than one conversation where they talk about things other than boys. Hurrah for lowered expectations!

Good to see Bollywood films being made to pass the Bechdel test. What were the girls talking about? I haven’t seen the film.

When the two women meet as 18-year-olds straight out of school, just checking in with each other about what they have been up to. And then later when one is getting married and the other gives a speech. It’s quite decent:) The speech.
