Jogajog

Set in the late-1970s, when sharp contrasting values of the rural/urban divide were facing the challenge to come to terms with the quickly-changing world, Kumudidini, a beautiful, spiritually-minded girl in her mid-20s and raised in the serene atmosphere in an Indian village, oblivious about the materialistic world, was compelled by circumstances to a nuptial bondage with Madhusdan Ghosal, a 50-year-old city-bred, egocentric, coarse-natured, highly-successful businessman. For Kumudini, who had been brought up with a strict moral code and in an aristocratic background, marriage is meant to be a holy act with the Lord (Lord Krishna whom she worshiped like Devotee Meera). But for Madhusudan, marriage was an instrument of sexual act. Being denied by his wife for his loveless lust, he attempts to rape her, so she confronts obvious problems of conflicting values that take the relationship to its worst height. When she can't take it anymore, she finally leaves her husband's huge sprawling mansion and returns to her brother Biprodas. But she soon discovers that she is cruelly tied to her husband and his family: she's pregnant. Now what? Should she return to her husband and fight for the dignified identity of a mother and woman in that family or remain in the paternal home where time seems to stand still?
