Film MERA KYA KASOOR is inspired by The Prime Minister of India – Narendra Modi ‘s pet project “ BETI BACHAO” Campaign – Save The Girl Child, an effort which needs to be applauded for its pragmatic approach.
This film is about female infanticide or killing new-born girls – this felonious practice is still prevalent in India, especially in some parts of Rajasthan even as of today.
Babdi is one such place in Rajasthan which has been lately in the news for strange incidents of death of several newborns.
Such horrifying deeds, as reported, are rampant since more than a decade where the newborn meets its end and in other cases even while still in the mother’s womb.Much to our surprise the people of this locality are divided over their opinions, with some even resorting to Tantra-Mantras for evading the girl child leaving no room for resolution to this grave problem.
People of this otherwise peaceful and progressive county are perplexed about the occurrence of this strange behavior of the local inhabitants for which there is no scientific reasoning nor any resolution, where there are reported cases of resorting to witchcraft and even sorcery and ignorance of the people.
The situation has worsened so much that the Pradhan-Chaudhary, its local Sarpanch and the people here are in a quandary with no resolution in sight.The film then exposes the myth behind this unnatural behavioral patterns which leaves the audience shell shocked.
MERA KYA KASOOR is a honest and brave attempt at exposing this biased mindset of people, which incidentally is a pet project of the Government at the Centre.
MERA KYA KASOOR which tackles this issue is produced and presented by actor Trilok Nowlakha and releases this September 9th in Cinema Halls
