Anjali Menon’s directorial Wonder Women, starring Nadiya Moidu, Sayanora Philip, Nithya Menen, Padmapriya, Parvathy Thiryvothu, Archana Padmini, and Amrutha Subhash released on SonyLIV today. The film revolves around six pregnant women, who enrol in a prenatal class. These women who have had varied life experiences, discover their identities and find answers to their deep-rooted issues in their quest for knowledge.

1hr 20min counseling video for pregnant women. 🥱#WonderWomen

-- (The only thing I liked in the movie was Sayanora Philip's Kannur accent.)

After watching #WonderWomen I was wondering like 'why this film!?' I haven't seen a waste of talent like this recently. At least it made me wonder about that!

ഒരു pregnancy "class"പടം !!!
Anjali Menon's 'artificial' feel good film.
Movie failed to connect with me personally 🙌🏼
Felt like an advertisement for Motherhood.
Avoidable!#WonderWomenpic.twitter.com/bQmS4tSDXX

Wonder Women is an unbearable social lecture on womanhood & pregnancy where you can barely spot a point of entertainment.

No one or absolutely nothing to praise.Still in a shock that Anjali Menon put her brain & time in it.

AVOIDABLE. pic.twitter.com/mcAxhseJj2

I wonder how Anjali menon would tap into every emotion👏
Loved #WonderWomen
I think opting for ott is the right option as I could let out every emotion. I laughed when men were embarassed in the class n cried when they open up to their partners
Character arcs🤌 @MenenNithya ❤️ pic.twitter.com/qYGDybMbWk

About Wonder Women

In a media interaction with News 18.com, Menon revealed that the idea for the film came to her after she realised that there aren't many subjects showcasing ‘intense, challenging, joyful and rewarding friendships between women.

She said, “I was really curious about how come we don’t get to see this on screen. Rather than sitting and complaining, we (thought) to be the change. So let’s make a narrative that is like that. I was on the lookout for an experience that was possibly exclusively female and that’s when I thought about the pregnancy process. That’s as exclusive as it could get.”
