Shubh Kaamna (1983)

Radical and revealing, this bold social drama follows the complex sequence of events that unfold, when a confident young woman vociferously opposes the demand for a huge sum made by the prospective groom's father, to be given in the form of dowry by her family. Will she be able to face the difficult consequences of standing up against socially accepted norms, however unjust they may be? Will some strong person come forward to assist her in her struggle? What will the future hold in store for her and her family members?
