Director Statement

We always see a kind of neglect mentality in society with disabilities. Many people do not think that people with disabilities can do anything in society. Every human being has creative abilities. If a person with a real disability gets a full opportunity, he can one day show that he is a creative person. And no less than healthy people. Asha is a girl with a congenital disability, her family knew about her disability but her mother never understood her ability. In society, girls still grow up with disrespect. It is a crime to be born a girl and if that girl is disabled then her sad days are not over. Many people have the idea that people with disabilities cannot or will not do anything. My picture is against the mentality of those people. To be a full-fledged tree, it needs as much light and air as the soil needs to bear fruit. Just like a human being needs such an environment to grow and express creativity.
The first Santali ( Indian Indigenous Language ) film that brings out the societal norms of dealing with a specially-abled child. The story is about a tribal girl who despite a lot of giving in to her, makes it big in the artistic world.
''Physically disability is not a barrier, but a parochial mind is always a constraint ''...
This film is a motivational film.
