Saankal

The film stars Chetan Sharma, Tanima Bhattacharya,[1] Harish Kumar, Jagat Singh, Samarth Shandilya and Milind Gunaji.

She is forcibly married to the significantly younger 11 year-old Kesar due to the village's deeply-seated traditions and taboos, and must now grapple with the negative impact of this event.

Director Dedpiya Joshii stated that the film's depiction of forced marriage is based on real-world conditions that are still prevalent in Indian rural communities.

These conditions can be traced to prior practices in villages that sought to prevent marrying outside of the community, in order to maintain genealogical purity.

This prompted village councils to force marriages between mature-age women and prepubescent boys in order to prevent population decline.
