Description Family-based prostitution which exists in many districts. But unfortunately our Law and Order System does not consider this as a major issue. The system which started as a community tradition (rivaaz) now operating as a money-making trade within the knowledge of the lawmakers and protectors. Rivaaz is a film against exploitation, a film about dignity, about hope of women who are traded in the name of tradition. We set the story in one such village where this tradition is a mockery to Indian independence. Those who dared defy tradition and want to marry and settle down without consenting to engage in prostitution, are tortured and killed to set an example. The family consists of mother (Deepti Naval), her three daughters and the atrocities committed on the women by the men. Through the tears of this family, we see the tears of the millions of girls who are caught in the web of tradition, helpless and are unable to escape.
