== Plot ==
Based on a real-life incident, ''Bebaak'' examines the patriarchal idea of male agency over female bodies, which is based on a systematic theological notion that demands women cover up in order to be "more humble, respectful, and acceptable" by society. It tells the tale of Fatin, a young woman from a low-income family who encounters [[chauvinism]] and is reprimanded by a religious leader during a scholarship interview.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bebaak – Drama Short Film {{!}} Filmfare Short Film Awards |url=https://www.filmfare.com/awards/short-films-2020/finalists/bebaak/3654 |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=filmfare.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bebaak – Kolkata People's Film Festival |url=https://www.ourcinema.in/festival/film/bebaak/ |access-date=27 October 2022 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Short Film 'Bebaak' Is The Story Of A Woman Voicing Defiance Against The Status Quo |url=https://homegrown.co.in/article/804660/short-film-bebaak-is-the-story-of-a-woman-voicing-defiance-against-the-status-quo |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=homegrown.co.in |date=8 June 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

== Reception ==

* ''Bebaak'' views freedom as a network of connected crackers rather than a single spark that, when lighted, can burn the ground. It doesn't exhibit this hurry or lack of determination. The conclusion of a movie with significant themes revolves upon a little girl and her gaze, yearning, and anticipation.<ref>{{Cite web |title='Bebaak' Review: A Small Film About Some Big Themes |url=https://thewire.in/film/bebaak-review-a-small-film-about-some-big-themes |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=The Wire}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=8 September 2020 |title='Bebaak' review: Shazia Iqbal's film takes aim at religious orthodoxy |url=https://lifestyle.livemint.com//how-to-lounge/movies-tv/bebaak-review-shazia-iqbal-s-film-takes-aim-at-religious-orthodoxy-111634489459966.html |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=Mintlounge |language=en}}</ref>
* The film's script is incisive and to the point, highlighting the ridiculousness of the religious pressure placed on women to wear a certain manner, especially in an environment as modern as India.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kyawal |first=Prashen H. |date=28 March 2019 |title=Short Film Review : Bebaak (2018) by Shazia Iqbal |url=https://asianmoviepulse.com/2019/03/short-film-review-bebaak-2018-by-shazia-iqbal/ |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=Asian Movie Pulse |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Controversy ==
The scandal surrounding [[Anurag Kashyap]] stems from his alleged negligence in a sexual assault accusation against his former business partner [[Vikas Bahl]], and it has stained a short film he made on his own. The Kashyap and Jar Films-produced film Bebaak, starring Shazia Iqbal, has been removed from this month's [[Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image|Mumbai Film Festival]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=#MeToo: Mumbai Film Festival drops short film co-produced by Anurag Kashyap |url=https://scroll.in/reel/899015/metoo-mumbai-film-festival-drops-short-film-co-produced-by-anurag-kashyap |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=Scroll.in |date=21 October 2018 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=#MeToo crackdown: Mumbai Film Festival drops Anurag Kashyap's short film Bebaak |url=https://www.mynation.com/entertainment/me-too-mumbai-film-festival-mami-anurag-kashyap-shazia-iqbal-bebaak-pgxqiz |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=Asianet News Network Pvt Ltd |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Dropped by MAMI, 'Bebaak' and 'Awake' screen to packed audience - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/dropped-by-mami-bebaak-and-awake-screen-to-packed-audience/articleshow/66445486.cms |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=The Times of India |date=31 October 2018 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Films 'Bebaak' and 'Awake' see huge gathering at public screening |url=https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/films-bebak-and-awake-see-huge-gathering-at-public-screening-174636 |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=WION |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=After AIB And Rajat Kapoor's Films, MAMI Now Drops Anurag Kashyap's Bebaak {{!}} SpotboyE |url=https://www.spotboye.com/bollywood/news/after-aib-rajat-kapoor-s-films-mami-now-drops-anurag-kashyap-s-bebaak/5bd00b93b96e2a60b3593211 |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=www.spotboye.com |language=en}}</ref>
