Synopsis

A film tells tragic tale of love, sacrifice and redemption. India gained independence in 1947, but for women, freedom was still a distant dream. It took a long period of struggle for society to accept remarriage of widows or prevent underage girls from getting married in the first place. In this dark age, when women could do no more than honour their family name, fall in love with a person chosen for them by someone else, and remain faithful to him at any cost.
