Derrida's concept of "Deconstruction".

With my limited knowledge I would say that “Deconstruction” is not that easy term which can be softly understood. Derrida himself says that, “if Deconstruction will be understood then I will be proved wrong”.  ‘Deconstruction’ simply means that ‘destroying’ the older one completely and built a new one. In other perhaps in literary sense, ‘deconstruction’ means ‘decentering from the center’. Derrida includes that ‘it should be free play of meaning’. For example, word “Bat” have meaning of stick and another meaning is flying mammal, it also leads us to another word “Bet” which means an agreement. So Derrida says that one word should not have that ultimate end or conclusion is always leads us to another one; which he introduces as ‘free play of meaning’. Thus he says that never be in quest of center of a thing, but try to decenter from the center.   
I would like to deconstruct one movie (from promos and Trailer) which is still not release, named “KI & KA” from “hope production”. The female actor is Karina Kapoor and the male actor is Arjun Kapoor. They both are married couple. But the archetypal concept of “House wife and Working man” is totally apposite here, because the lady shown here as a “working woman” and a man is as “house husband”. Even the thing seems awkward when man wears marriage locket (mangal suitra). And the archetypal movements of erotic acts are usually initiates by men to their wives. And here it is opposite when karina initiates those acts and man says ‘No’ because of tiredness throughout the whole day. Here, the feminine aspect seems in center and it looks like its privileging on patriarchy (Feeling quite happy).
Thank You…..
