The Indian Express Film Club screening in association with National Centre for Performing Arts & Dhun Productions

Marathi Language with English Subtitles (1h 44m)

Sthal is a poignant tale of a woman struggling to fit the constraints of an ‘ideal bride’. The film is a powerful rebuttle to the patriarchal process of ‘choosing’ brides. It poses a simple yet thought-provoking question, “ Is being saleable in the marriage market the only value of a woman?

 The film screening will be followed by a discussion with Shubhra Gupta, Film Critic, The Indian Express.
