This film is truly a passion project for me because of the subject it deals with. Two years ago, I came across a newspaper article that threw light upon a patriarchal practice of giving disrespectful names to the third or fourth born daughters in a family to denote them as unwanted. I was shocked after reading the article, I really wanted to do something to change this practice and I knew the only way I could was by using my creative voice. Patriarchy and societal pressure of having a boy are certainly the root cause of this problem but after doing research I understood that parents do not even understand something as basic as the value our name carries, and this plays an important factor in the continuation of this practice. My story revolves around the same concern. It’s a fictional drama that makes a chauvinist parent realise the value of a name by ruining his own name. I’ve used this simple trick to highlight the patriarchal practice and a solve for it. My sole aim is to create awareness about this practice so that as one we can take a step against it and even if this aim seems impossible, I wish to at least make people realise the value of a girl’s identity which begins with her name.
