Plot

As their relationship deepens, they decide to get married. Yashraj is also well-educated in London and is from a wealthy political family. By age-old traditions, the marriage proposal gets finalized in the presence of village leaders who want to make sure all religious and cultural traditions are followed. Both families agree on almost all conditions, except one that Shubhra opposes, a Virginity Test! A bride, on the first night after the wedding, must prove to society that she is a virgin. Her opposition to the test puts her against powerful village leaders, who ostracize her family. After a lot of suffering, she decides to stand up to them and educate villagers to drop this and many other oppressive traditions against women with the help of “Songi Bharud”, a live street performance on social issues.
