LIGHTNING

After her marriage into a wealthy family, Damini witnesses a cruel act by her brother-in-law. She wants the victim to get justice, but the family – including her husband – oppose her, leading to her leaving the house.

A rare feat for the mainstream Indian cinema of the 90s, Damini is a powerful feminist film with disturbing and honest portrayal of sexual assault and injustice. Upholding the virtue of conscience, this film is the inspiring story of one woman’s relentless quest for justice for another woman.
