Post Screening Q&A with director Harish Arora 
Synopsis: The movie is based on personal interaction with young war widows & inspired by true events of their lives. Instead of saluting these “Veeranganas”, they are targeted, misbehaved and sexually assaulted by their own relatives and society. Highlighting heart rending fact that the death compensation amount paid to the war-widows are extracted by black mailing them emotionally. No one appears to understand their agonies and helplessness.  Through this feature film, we want to spread this strong message of love towards nation, society & family. These “veer narees” and their children deserve the love and respect from the society and A.W.W.A. (Army Wives Welfare Association) is always there to support them to live in the society with dignity.  Through this feature film, we want to spread multiple strong messages of inter-caste marriage, drug/alcohol addiction, “Beti bachao, Beti Padhao”, women empowerment and love towards nation.
