ABOUT A 14 year old Dalit boy writes a love letter to a 16 year old ‘upper’ class girl [spacer height=”20px”]

PLOT OUTLINE [spacer height=”20px”]
A fourteen year old dalit boy is growing up in an unnamed corner of India. His dream is to go to a town school like his elder brother and his reality is to look after the pig that his family owns. His     only escape is to sit atop a Jamun tree and adore his beloved passing by on her scooter. His unspoken love is as true as his mother’s helplessness who cleans the cowsheds of the local strongman’s mansion, with whom she also has a secret liaison. When the boy’s elder brother comes on a vacation to the village, he soon finds out about his younger brother’s infatuation. The learned elder brother makes him realize the need to express his love and helps him write a love letter.
Will things remain the same in the village after this love letter is delivered? Especially when the girl is the village strongman’s daughter?
Inspired by a true event, Chauranga is a fictional account of six days in a dark corner of India. A story of the violence of class oppression that still exists in Rural India [spacer height=”20px”]

Why Charuranga for Raj Suri? [spacer height=”20px”]
“Ever since the pre production days of My Brother Nikhil, (2003), I have had the first hand experience of working with my close associates and award winning filmmakers Onir and Sanjay Suri. Chauranga is a realistic film written and directed by Bikas Mishra. Today independent film makers, against all odds, are making good content. I believe we need to be collective to support realistic films, documentaries and any content that reaches the “popular audiences’ so the love of realistic content can grow for the next generation.  I and my media production firm Karigar Australia are proud to be the Australian co producer of this film project. Looking forward to experiencing the journey of Chuaranga! “- Raj Suri
