Daro Mat
IMDb: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7372598/
‘Daro Mat (Don’t be afraid)’ delves into the inner core of the psyche of an Indian girl. It explores the reality of the households of the sub-continent where ‘a girl having no opinion’ is considered ‘moral & disciplined’. The film challenges the fundamentals of such imposed subjugation flattered by patriarchy as virtue.
The film ignites the flame of individuality in the minds of Indian girls who are conditioned from childhood to be subservient to get acceptance from husband and his family. The life journey of the girl challenges the norm with her inner strength and she pursues her passion with boldness and yet salvaging the relationship with her husband.
