Farmer's daughter Savitra rebels when her father consents to her marriage to foolish millworker Bopya. She wants the freedom to choose her own husband and has her heart set on fisherman Madhu, but she has no desire to cause a scandal or dishonor her family. Determined to be rid of her ridiculous would-be husband, the crafty girl seeks a way to change her fate as she manipulates superstitions and the traditions that would make her a man's property. A modern-day riff on a tale from The Mahabharata--presented as a play within the film--in which the sagacious Princess Savitra searches for her ideal mate, this Indian indie confection weaves its romantic spell with humor and charm, its languid pace and cheerful musical numbers disguising a more serious purpose. Beneath the comedy's buoyant façade lurks sharp social commentary aimed at exposing the outmoded customs that deny women the right to determine their own futures. North American Premiere. —Pam Grady
