A viral reel on Instagram shared by @ayushh_clicks, with over 39 million views, captures the heartbreak and anger following the tragic death of a 31-year-old female doctor who was raped and murdered while on duty in Kolkata. The reel, deeply moving and powerful, reflects the pain of a city and a nation demanding justice. Protests titled ‘Reclaim the Night’ have taken over the streets of Kolkata, with people calling for accountability and change.
In the reel, haunting visuals are paired with the song “Kaari Kaari” from the film Pink. The lyrics, “Kaari Kaari raina saari, so andhere kyu layi, kyu laayi..roshni ke paao mein, yeh bediyan si kyun aayi…kyun aayi?” mirrors the pain of the current situation, where justice seems distant, and the darkness of crime overshadows the light of progress.
The film Pink played a significant role in raising awareness about consent in sexual matters. Its famous dialogue, “No means no,” became a rallying cry, emphasizing that a woman’s refusal must be respected. However, the tragic events remind us that many still fail to understand this simple yet crucial concept. The reel’s message is clear: society must do better.
The comments on the reel show just how deeply it has touched people. One person wrote, “Brought tears to my eyes. The streets that were once peaceful now cry for justice. This should not be forgotten.” Another comment read, “The artwork will haunt me forever. That’s the power of art.”
This reel stands as a powerful call for justice and a reminder that “No means no” should never be ignored.
