Product Description

Bollywood drama. In the near future, women are virtually extinct in India after a period of rampant female infanticide. When one lone girl is found, she is sold to four brothers and their father, who take it in turns to abuse her, until her presence causes vicious infighting between the family, and between India's caste system.

Product Description

The film begins in a rural village in Bihar,[6] with the delivery of a baby girl to a village couple. Her disappointed father, who was hoping for a boy, drowns her in vat of milk in a public ceremony. Many years later somewhere around 2050 AD. this unchecked trend leads to the village being populated solely by males. The now uncouth and aggressive young men of the village are desperate for wives and release their frustration through group screenings of imported pornographic films, cross-dressed dance performances, and even bestiality. They are shown to be willing to go to the lengths of human trafficking and courtship-driven emigration in order to procure spouses for themselves.The wealthy father Ramcharan (Sudhir Pandey) of five boys finds out about a single young woman, named Kalki (Tulip Joshi), living some distance from the village, and literally buys her from her father. She is then married to all five sons. Each night of the week, she is forced to sleep with one of the sons, and the father also gets his weekly night with her. Of all the men in the boorish lot, only the youngest son treats her with respect and tenderness.When the youngest son is killed by his jealous brothers, and an escape attempt with a sympathetic domestic servant goes lethally awry, she becomes a pawn of revenge in an inter-community conflict, and an unwilling object of sexual release for even more men. She is chained to a post in the cow shed and gang raped mercilessly night after night. The film ends on a violent but hopeful note, as she bears a baby girl while the men of the village kill each other off over rights to her and her child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very non Bollywood like 23 Nov 2011

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This movie has no songs ,no flashy dances ,no typical silly comedy neither over the top luck by main protagonist .It kind of sci-fi mixed with art movie about a scenario .What will happen if all girls are killed at birth just to keep male dominence in a village .This scenario can be applied to china right now as they have 2 to 1 ratio of adult males to females according to nytimes (google china male to female ratio).i'll not give out much but its very well portraited .A good cinema experience where you'll feel pain,sorrow and anger about the society and choices they make.

Highly Recommended

I thought it was a good effort to present a grim subject with enough humor to make it palatable. Strongly recommended.
