Plot Synopsis
Storyline
White Rainbow is the story of four remarkable women and their struggle to overcome the stigma and brutal reality of widowhood in modern Indian society. In the story, the protagonist Priya, is an educated, affluent young woman who is tragically widowed. Despondent, alone and desperate, she seeks unlikely solace in Vrindavan, the "city of widows." Priya meets the streetwise Roop who has spent 30 years making her own way in this temple town with its dirty secrets. She encounters gentle Mala tragically disfigured by her mother-in-law and young Deepti, forced into servitude and an underground sex trade run by the Panda priest.

An extraordinary film which everyone has to see(especially Indians who don't even who our neighbors are and its happening in our own country...which includes me too).
Dharan Mandrayar's courageous attempt to do a tight rope walk with swords below and achieving his goal need mention , for this is not the kind of subject anyone would attempt to film in the age of Lord of the Rings Harry potters and Narnias....
He has narrated the story well and much care has taken not to hurt the sensitiveness of the widows.
Movies like these are a treat to watch and I am proud to say that it has come from a SON of India.
Never a miss a chance to see this film .... its worth watching...
