When tragedy befalls a privileged Indian wife as she suddenly loses both her husband and unborn child, her pilgrimage to Vrindavan finds her seeking emotional solace in her friendship with three other tragic widows in director Dharan Mandrayars thoughtful meditation on the role of the social stigma attached to widowhood in Indian society. Priyas husband has been killed in a sudden and unexpected tragedy, and upon receiving the horrific news, she soon miscarries. Suddenly rejected from society and thrust into an unfamiliar world in which the lack of a husband makes one invisible to the masses, Priya sets out on the road to Vrindavan and quickly makes the acquaintance of elder street-smart widow Roop, who has been rejected by her children; kindly Mala, who has been disfigured by her vengeful mother-in-law; and fragile 15-year-old widow and prostitute Deepti. Now, as the tragic quartet takes their fates into their own hands and refuses to accept a grim future of poverty and servitude, Priya, Roop, Mala, and Deepti will discover together that life is truly what one makes of it. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This film was absolutely amazing. The power of the film was incredible - there were so many times when I felt very connected with the characters, and my resulting emotion on the subject was astounding even to me. This film tackles a topic, widows in India, that has been addressed clinically, unemotionally, and factually, and takes all of the information that was gathered and gives it a human face by focusing on the story of only a few women who are representative of many. It brings awareness to a subject that often gets swept under the rug. The women's issues in this film are the same issues that face many different cultures, places, and times in History. They are, therefore, issues that touch upon us all, and that affect as all, whether directly or indirectly.

I HIGHLY recommend this film. It will almost certainly have an impact on any and all who watch it.
