Bahurani (Hindi)
King Pratapaditya of Yashohar is a man consumed by contempt. His scorn extends to everyone around him, though his daughter-in-law Surma bears the brunt of his venom. Married to his son Udayaditya, Surma discovers too late that wedlock has delivered her into a nightmare of her own. Yet she's not suffering in isolation. A powerful bond forms between Surma and Vibha, the king's own daughter, who carries her own devastating secret: her father has sentenced her husband to death. As these two women navigate their impossible circumstances, alongside Udayaditya, a question emerges that will define their futures. Can they find the fortitude to defy their tormentor's iron grip, or will his tyranny continue to shape their destinies? This gripping tale explores what happens when those trapped beneath absolute power finally decide to resist, and what small acts of connection can achieve in the darkest places.
