Chauranga - 2016

Story

Set in the dark hinterland of India where tradition and modernity collide precariously, Chauranga is inspired by a real incident. Fourteen-year-old Santu wants to go to school like his older brother Bajarangi.

When Bajarangi comes home from boarding school on holiday, he exposes Santu to the dreams of city life. But Santu s destiny was pre-written in a village that s steeped deep in caste-hierarchy and debauchery. Unaware of the consequences, Santu is nurturing defiance and courting a dangerous infatuation that threatens to topple the equations of caste in the village. How far will his defiance take him? What will be the price of his escape?
