The male dominance in the indo-pak sub-continental society, even today, and it's affects really needs more addressing.
How/where do you draw the line? Where is the balance? Being a modern, educated woman doesn't necessarily have to mean a career woman.
Astitva chose to take the more direct stand of siding with the female movement. What it did not address is the group of female who are in the middle. The females who are capable of being independent, but are more interested in family and home.
The biggest flaw of the movie was putting both Sri and Aniket (Aditi's son) in the same boat. But I guess they wanted to deal with one simple issue and keep the plot simple.
The best part of the movie (as far as the making goes) - it was exactly as long as it had to be.
