Synopsis

Ameena explores the parallel lives of two teenagers from different eras – Ameena from 32 years ago, and Meena, a contemporary young woman. Both characters face similar life challenges, yet their responses diverge significantly. [4] Meena, an actress, portrays Ameena in a play titled "Yahan Ameena Bikti Hai" at Prithvi theatre. The play offers a profoundly moving portrayal of Ameena, a young woman whose story takes a tragic turn when her parents sell her to an elderly Arab man. The narrative takes a dark turn when Meena, after performing in the play, encounters a similar fate as Ameena. [5]

The film explores the intricacies of justice, societal conventions, and the indomitable resilience inherent in the human spirit. It raises critical questions about the treatment of women and the pursuit of justice in the face of adversity. [6]
