Panghrun (2019)

India gained independence in 1947, but for the womenfolk, freedom was still a distant dream. It took a long period of struggle for the society to accept remarriage of widows or prevent underage girls from getting married in the first place. Pleas of women to lead a normal life had no place in a male-dominated society. Women were forced to abide by their traditional role, keeping forever mum, without being able to express their feelings, urges, or love. PANGHRUN is a love story that takes place in this dark age when women could do no more than honor their family name, fall in love with a person chosen for them by someone else, and remain faithful to him at any cost. Inspired by a short story by the renowned poet and author B B Borkar, and directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, PANGHRUN is a tragic tale of love, compassion and ultimate sacrifice one will make, to have a shot at redemption.
