Indian film showing ‘humiliation’ in the bride’s established marriage

It is often called marriages in the heavens.

However, in India, the place where the majority of obligations are built, the adaptation process may feel like a passage through hell for a woman and family.

This is Sthalun’s building: 2023 GRITTY MARATY in the festivals in India and abroad are a match in 2023 Gritty Marathi. It is released for the first time in theaters in India on Friday.

In the province of Village Maharashtra, film centers around Savita, a young woman who surrounded a training and career in a patriarchal society, father Daulao Wandhare – a poor cotton farmer – to find a good husband for the daughter.

“He wants a good price for his product and a good match for his daughter,” says Jayant Digambar Somalcar.

The film describes his leading actress, many young women in the “very humiliating” experience, as opposed to other Indian films.

Sthal also drew attention, because all the casting consists of the first period from the village where he was thrown. Playing Savita Nandini Chikte, already won two awards for their bright performance.

The film opens in a sequence that Savita met with a potential groom.

With women’s relatives and friends, he is watching the young man for drinking from a bowl. When you ask, they are laughing when it is nervous, when they look.

It is roughly awakened when it turned out to be a dream, Savita’s group of men is said to be preparing for them to see him.

In fact, the genital roles are completely reverse, and in a scene of about two hours in the film, the humiliation of Savita is abruptly.

The perspective grade from his family and other men are met with the father and male relatives of Savitan. The guests are fed tea and snacks and are called Savita after application.

To a Sari, his eyes fell down, sitting on a wooden stool looking at his interrogation.

Questions come in bold and fast. What is your name? Full name? The main tribe? Date of birth? Height? Education? The subject? Hobbies? Ready to work on the farm?

The people came out, to take a discussion. “He’s a little dark. There was a makeup on his face, but you didn’t see his elbow? It’s his true color,” he says. “He is short,” it continues to add. Others nod in the agreement.

They say they will respond to Daulatrao, to express their decisions in a few days.

According to their parents, “This is the fourth or fifth year to see Savitan,” all previous meetings ended in the most rejection, and caused heartwarming and despair.

The scene rings are true. In India, men often have a laundry list of attributes they want on their brides – a review of matrimonial columns on newspapers and compatibility websites shows the wishes of tall, fair, beautiful brides.

Savita’s protests – “I do not want to marry, first don’t want to finish college and then take career and make a career” – there is no weight like a young woman in marriage.

“Marriage in our society is very important,” he said. “Parents believe that the girl is married once and will be free from his responsibility. It is time to change the narrative.”

He said he was “very humiliating” to sit on the trial of all those who discussed the color of Savitan, to sit on a stool because there was no controversy about the potential groom.

“I was just moving, but as the film progressed, I had a journey of Savitan, and I was angry on his behalf. I felt sensitive and contemptible.”

The film, the social evil of the dowry, the introduction of the bride’s family, the introduction of cash, clothes and jewelry, is the application of the groom’s family.

Although it is illegal for more than 60 years, Havries still have everything in Indian weddings.

It is known that the girls’ parents sell huge loans or even sell their lands and homes to meet the dowry demands. It doesn’t justify that ten thousands of smooth births or family are not enough because it does not provide a happy life for a bride.

In the film, Daulara, although agriculture is the only source of livelihood, puts the “sold” to his land.

The director said the idea for his debut artistic film is rooted in his own experience.

Growing up with two sisters and five women’s cousins, he repeatedly witnessed the ritual when he visited the house of perspective grooms.

“You do not doubt the tradition like a child,” he said when a promising bride was accompanied by a prospective bride, when he was accompanied by a male cousin, in 2016.

“It was the first time on the other hand. The woman went out and sat a stool and felt a little worried when we asked.

At that time, while discussing the issue with his fiancée – who is his wife – he encouraged him to investigate him in his work.

90% of all marriages are still the first to solve the topic on the screen, stall, in a country organized by families. I have IMDB A list of about 30 movies In the last two decades, about the marriage prepared by the Bollywood and the regional film industry.

Recently, wildly popular Netflix show Indian match He focused on the process of finding a perfect partner.

However, Somalkar’s “Weddings sounded” on the screen. ”

“When you think of weddings in India, we think of a great fat wedding full of fun and glamor.

“And the Netflix show can only exercise the choices of a certain nation, rich and educated and women.

“But for most Indians, the reality is very different and parents should often pass the daughters from hell to get married.”

The reason he says, he says “Society and followers from consent.”

“I encourage you to start an argument and think about a process that protests women who are very little freedom to choose between marriage and career,” he says.

“I do not change society in one night or a film society, but it can be a start.”
