Vocabulary
Smothered compulsion, beyond self-realisation
Film: 'For Real'; Cast: Sarita Choudhury, Adil Hussain, Zoya S. Hassan, Sriharsh Sharma Churai, Sameer Dharamadhikari; Writer-Director: Sona Jain; Rating: ***
And quietly slips the night into a tortured morning-time light. While watching the muffled muted voices looking for a way to express themselves in the well-ordered sparkling-clean environment of a upper middle-class household in Delhi in 'For Real', we often feel a sense of smothered compulsion waiting to be liberated.
And how liberating is the freedom that Priya Singh Shukla (played with brutal honesty by Sarita Choudhury) seeks out? She has given up what she thinks was a promising career in singing for her husband and children.
And now confused beyond self-realisation by contemporary definitions of a successful life, Priya may yet again abandon her family to pursue her dreams.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts. In fact, I cannot understand the whole three paragraphs what they means, but I hope if you explain to me the highlighted parts, I may get the grasp of it.
