Description Delhi University. A romance. An accidental pregnancy. And the act of announcing this to his conservative parents is just the beginning of the explosion of emotions and events that Antardwand unfolds.
The boy - Raghuveer who has just appeared for his Civil Services exams is admonished by his father against marrying his pregnant girlfriend in Delhi. Distraught and defenseless Raghu terminates his visit home in the interiors of Bihar and leaves for Delhi. But before he could get out of the village he gets ABDUCTED by another headstrong and ambitious father of a girl wanting to have a potential IAS officer as his son-in-law.
The boy is forcibly married off at a gun point much against his and the girl's own wishes. Once married, they are locked up in a room for days until they consummate their marriage and accept each other completely.... but do they accept each other in the face of inevitability?
Groom Abduction or "Pakrauah Shaddi" so rampant in Bihar and Eastern UP is touched upon in Antardwand. The film is a peep into the reality that is mofussil India, a feudal India refusing to die, it's a story where everybody involved pay a heavy price for the ugly patriarchal power play... it's a society rotting while the country surges ahead to be a global power. Antardwand is a film that stokes the sensitive, thinking viewer's ire, concern and empathy.

| Aaja Nachle (2007) Country: India Language: Hindi Year: 2007 Color/BW: COLOR Category: Feature Film Genre: Drama
Description An unexpected phone call shakes Dia (Madhuri Dixit) out of her dance rehearsal in New York. Her teacher, her guru, is dying and she must return to India. The town where she grew up, the town where she learnt to live and to dance. Also the town she left on an impulse, severing ties with her parents and her people. It is a poignant and troubled return; not only has her guru passed away but the institution that he so lovingly nurtured is in decay and under threat of demolition. Ajanta theatre, the once vibrant hub of the community, the place where Dia's fondest memories are embedded must now be brought down because the local political authorities feel it a waste of prime real estate. Dia picks up the gauntlet to turn this ruin into a vibrant and bustling theater that was once the soul of her little town, while fighting discrimination, resentfulness and her own demons.
