About this movie

A talented singer, Akla Bai belonging to the singing community of Rajasthan sees the dream of becoming a famous singer who sings without her ails. Her biggest roadblock is the community she belongs to who is intolerant towards women ever discarding their veil or singing in public. She, along with her husband, Nazar apply to a singing contest that they get selected for and make a plan to run to Mumbai. The night before they are about to leave, they get caught by their aunt , Grushma Bai, who gives her blessings to Nazar but stops Akla Bai from going as she has suffered the consequences of seeing a similar dream . The movie is about women who dare to dream but have their wings cut off by the unjust and cruel traditions of society, that hasn't moved forward even though the world has seen tremendous progress in all other spheres. Unless the society makes a change and breaks a generational cycle, this tradition will continue from one generation to another and we will continue losing the voice of these women to these customs.
