The
film, Choker Bali directed by noted
Bengali director, Rituparno Ghosh,
is set in the feudal backdrop of rural
Bengal before Independence. Women
were treated as just another piece
of livestock and they just had to
submit themselves to the dictates
of social norms framed by men. Aishwarya
Rai is a young girl, who is forced
to discontinue her studies and married
off against her wishes. Unfortunately,
her husband dies within two years
due to tuberculosis.
