As the world considers a woman’s place in society this week, writer-director Jayant Somalkar shows us mirrbae through patriarchal roots of traditional matchmaking process and a misleading taken on the social churning in our villages. Like the story of the upcoming age of a village girl struggling to get out of the dragnet of gender roles and social expectations, the tenacity of the hero Savita and the calm rebels punch our consciousness.

Looked from a girl’s point of view, SiteThe scope of is not limited to humiliating a girl and her family tolerates to find a suitable match through a systematic marriage. This decomposes its cultural reference, its generalization and its consequences. When the news page farmers bring an increase in the number of suicides and the sales of mobile phones in rural Maharashtra, one remembers social pressure and moral conditioning that pushes a farmer on the verge and reduces some youth for data.

Bollywood and popular culture often celebrates the process of starting the process of future brides and brides, with family chatter and shy exchange. The camera literally captures this process, causing it to get fun and depth at the same time.
