The female gaze it’s so apparent in this scene between Meena (Sarita Choudhury) and Demetrius (Denzel Washington).
A scene from Mississippi Masala so nicely directed by Mira Nair and written by Sooni Taraporevala.
Look closely in Satira’s body language and notice how Denzel ask her permission to kiss her and he uses it again as a playful joke that make the scene even more realistic and deep.
Generally, in the film Demetrius is written from a female gaze point of view. Just notice the details in his lines when he talks about the women in his life.
