Kajariya is certainly not a movie for the sensitive people. It brings before our eyes extreme brutality.

Plot

This flick is set in the backdrop of a rural area in Haryana where female infanticide is still prevalent. The protagonist of the movie, Kajariya, is a child widow, who is brutally exploited. Later she turns into an infant killer and is a prisoner of circumstances. There is a fake religious function in the village wherein Kajariya takes the lives of the girl kids under the influence of alcohol. As she is a victim of circumstances, Kajariya is driven to believe that she is a messenger of Goddess Kali and only if she kills female infants will she be able to be in harmony with the death of an elderly person to whom she tied the nuptial knot at the age of 13.

Analysis

Madhureeta Anand Madhureeta Anand is an Indian filmmaker, writer, a >> Read More... , the writer cum director of this movie, delves into the belief patterns of the society about female infanticide. The movie also brings forth a shocking revelation in the end that ten million girl child have been slain in India since 1986.

It is indeed a daring attempt by the director to talk about a subject that an elite society doesn’t want to discuss. Madhureeta Anand, being a woman, has done a great job in dealing with a subtle issue as female infanticide.

The movie makes us ponder over chauvinism with certain dialogues that say that a guy only takes the family forward. The director is wise enough in portraying the capability as well as the flaws of the woman characters in a brilliant manner. Also, the director tries to drive home the point that exploitation of women occurs even in the so-called developed urban areas.

Verdict:

Though the film seems to be behind the times, it can be watched by an elite audience.
