Aimed at instilling 'Force' and 'Courage' among women of all ages, the short film is built upon themes - respect/honour/dignity, director Rima Das, having quit her cushy job in MNCs to build a campaign on the issue, told PTI.
Prominent Tollywood director Ringo Banerjee has done the editing with young film technicians chipping in.
Mostly having a bunch of non-actors facing the camera, the film dwells on how to say a spanking 'No' in situations like groping in a moving vehicle, spurning the insistence to join drink and inappropriate touch by people at parties/ get-togethers, strongly protesting oblique comments and teasing at workplace, home or in public place, Rima said.
Deriving from the film's title, the spunky woman and her friends have uploaded a page 'Right to NO' on Facebook which takes up different issues of atrocities to build up a strong online campaign.
"Let others - both women as well as men - like the page and share it on their timeline. Let the campaign motivate other girls," Rima said.
