This movie is about a girl, Chuyia, who is widowed at the age of 7, it takes place back in India in 1938. Chuyia has to stay in a house of widows where her life is pretty much chosen for her. In the house she meets another widow, Kalyani, who is the only one with long hair. The long hair is a symbol of beauty, and for that, Didi (the main lady of the house) sends her off to earn money from clients. Kalyani meets a Narayan and they fall in love! Narayan wants to marry her but, marrying a widow is unheard of and no one supports them. Didi even cuts all of her beautiful hair off. After running away with the love of her life, she discovers Narayan's father had been a client of hers and believes he would never want her if he found out. So, that night, she kills herself. Narayan finds out about Kalyani and his father. He goes to get Kalyani the next morning because he doesn't care. But it's too late!

With Kalyani gone there is no one to bring in money for rent so, Didi sends Chuyia with Gulabi who takes her in place of Kalyani. Shakuntala rescues Chuyia after finding out what happened. She hears of Gandhi being at the train station and goes to see him. In the end she puts Chuyia on the train with Narayan, who happened to be on the train. She wanted Chuyia to have a better life with the blessing of Gandhi.

I thought this movie was phenomenal! It's funny, entertaining, and very educational. I wouldn't say anything bad about this movie. I don't think i could. Not only was the movie amazing but the director had to go through SO much to ensure that people would be aware of the situation in India, even today, and to get that message across to everyone that has the chance to watch this unforgettable film. I would definitely recommend this movie for is amazingness :) high five!
