Synopsis

"Water" is a poignant drama directed by Deepa Mehta, released in 2005, that delves into the lives of widows living in an ashram in 1938 India. The film follows the story of Chuyia, a young girl played by Sarala Kariyawasam, who is widowed at a tender age and sent to live in the ashram. There, she meets other widows, including Kalyani (played by Lisa Ray) and Shakuntala (played by Seema Biswas), each facing their own struggles and societal expectations. John Abraham plays a progressive young man named Narayan, who forms a bond with Kalyani, challenging the rigid traditions and beliefs that govern the lives of the widows. As the characters navigate love, loss, and liberation, "Water" sheds light on the oppression and resilience of women in a patriarchal society, while also exploring themes of friendship, sacrifice, and hope. With powerful performances and a thought-provoking narrative, this film is a must-watch for those interested in compelling storytelling and historical dramas.
