Women Chase and Beat Drunkards in Mumbai
In the video, women are seen marching down the street armed with brooms to attack men who were obviously drunk.

The public reaction since the video went viral has been one of admiration, many lauding the women for their courage and determination to take matters into their hands over an issue that had been persistently annoying them in their community.
Rakshabandhan Festival Amplifies Women’s Bold Act
The timing of the video is significant; it was shot on Rakshabandhan, a festival signifying brother-sister ties. The timing has perhaps further added to the impact of the women’s act; it has been pitched as an act of protectiveness and boldness. Locally, what the issue was that these drunkards had been making it impossible for women to move freely in their own locality, which forced the women to take matters directly into their own hands.
It is in this relatability and the striking nature of the scene, along with an empowering display of female solidarity, that the reasons for the video’s increasing popularity lie. With views running into thousands and loads of enthusiastic comments like “Stree Zindabad” (Long Live Women), this clip proves how much scope there is in something going viral on social media if it has elements of both humor and heroism.
