Chakrabyuha

The cinema depicts the daily sexual harassment of a woman by speech, physical and gaze and the resulting emotional strain on her personal and professional life. In a patriarchal society, women themselves along with men participate in the attitude towards women, thus depicting the fact that even though she is a woman, she is carrying the seeds of patriarchy. As the psychological introspection of a model, actress, self-reliant, independent woman in her personal life will come up in this movie, so will her own experience about the subject matter of this cinema.
