Is marriage a license? JioHotstar presents its newest original series चिराया which investigates how Indian families maintain their most common practice of treating marriage as an everlasting commitment.
The series which Shashant Shah directed and SVF Entertainment produced features Divya Dutta and Sanjay Mishra as the main actors.
The filmmakers released the initial teaser for चिराया which transforms into something much darker. The original series which will premiere on JioHotstar has become a topic of discussion because it poses an awkward question about marriage and consent.
The series shows a reality which Indian families usually keep hidden from public view.
Chiraiya teaser out
A deeply personal story
The teaser of चिराया opens with the sound of celebration a wedding, a promise a new beginning. Pooja the young bride steps into her new home with hope in her eyes as the perfect daughter-in-law everyone expects her to be.
But in a sharp and haunting cut, we see her alone on the terrace tears silently rolling down her face. The contrast is unsettling.
The celebration that people see has hidden a truth which all people refuse to acknowledge.
चिराया raises a difficult but necessary question to society if a husband forces himself on a woman after marriage does it stop being a crime just because they are married?
A marriage certificate functions as a marriage license while a woman who stays silent about her partner’s actions does not give her permission.
The series challenges the belief that a wife’s silence equals acceptance and questions long-held assumptions that are rarely discussed openly.
Powerful cast, delicate theme
Divya Dutta leads the show which features Sanjay Mishra Siddharth Shaw Prasanna Bisht Faisal Rashid Tinnu Anand and Sarita Joshi in principal positions.
The story made Divya Dutta think about how people hide their suffering through bonds with others.
चिराया will be coming soon on JioHotstar with a hard hitting focus on topics most people would rather avoid.
