Sadat Hasan Manto seems to have a special place for women in his heart

Women in his writings were not so orthodox kind of women but women who were from various strata of society. A woman to him was not just a mother or sister or wife but also an individual.

He described a woman's desires and wants and her outlook towards the society in a new light altogether.

DARPAN makes an attempt to pay an ode to the women of Manto. Written in URDU, these writings were a tight slap on the then social structure and the male chauvinism.

Synopsis:

Is a woman just an object of sex?

This was the question raised in an era when even talking about sex was a big taboo. But the carnal desires see no time, era or taboo. You fall for someone and that moment is what matters. But then is it worth the life long stigma that comes along with?

How a man just detaches and how a woman sets a journey of emotional turmoil during the next 9 months, is the crux of the story. The pleasures of finding someone, the joy of fulfillment and then the pains of separation, the agony of being cheated....

well journey of this high emotional drama ends with a big shock...

Have a strong heart to see what happens next at 'Sadak ke Kinare'
