This is an issue film that dares to address an unspeakably horrible tradition in remote parts of India. The central characters are Maya (Shetty) and Sanjay (Yadav), cousins raised as siblings by Sanjay's loving parents (Nag and Vasisht). Maya and Sanjay play all day in both the rocky wilderness and dense forest near their village, where they also have fun annoying the shopkeepers. Then at age 13 Maya gets her first period and everything changes. They go to visit her real mother (Navalkar) and arrange a womanhood ceremony with the local priest (Saxenda). But Sanjay senses something is not right, and sets out to rescue Maya from what everyone else just accepts as a part of growing up. The film opens with the sounds of Maya screaming in the temple, then jumps back to show her free-spirited life with Sanjay. The story could have been told in about 30 minutes, but we instead get nearly two hours of scene setting. And the result is powerful, as the film's early warnings are stoked by Sanjay's growing fear and the women's increasingly sober resignation as they prepare Maya for the ceremony. And yet we're still unprepared to face what actually happens. There's never even a hint, so when we find out, it's nearly unbearable. The beauty of this life and culture is shattered ... and even more when the priest emerges to announce that "God has truly blessed Maya." Beautifully made with simplicity and strength, this disturbing film isn't easy to take ... but needs to be seen.
