Shades of Gray is an attempt to engage with the conversation around mental health in the country. It draws attention to the importance of class structures when it comes to treating mental health problems. <br><br> The film delineates two parallel narratives of women located at different positions in society. While one has access to mental healthcare, the other does not. Though the film is well-intentioned, it runs the danger of over-simplifying the conversation. The aim of the narrative is to talk about the lack of accessibility to healthcare in the country, but it finds itself unable to convey the same emphatically.
