Nil Battey Sannata
Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari
Produced by Colour Yellow Productions, Jar Pictures
A tender, hopeful family drama about a mother's sacrifice and determination to break cycles of poverty through education, centered on the bond between mother and daughter.
Behind the magnificent Taj Mahal lies a cluster of dingy homes where Chanda (35), a domestic help, lives with her 14-year-old daughter Appu. Chanda aspires and dreams that her daughter will study and embrace a better fate. When Appu tells her she wants to quit school and become a maid like her, Chanda takes a strong decision: she will herself go back to school, and even join the class of her daughter.
