MEHRUNISA
Hindi without subtitles
MEHRUNISA is the story of an 80 year old woman in Lucknow (North India) who ventures to finally remove her late husband’s dominance from her life in her own eccentric way, stirring up the deep rooted male dominance of the Indian film industry, thus becoming a role model for millions of women across the country.
MEHRUNISA marked Farrukh Jaffar’s first leading role at the age of 88 – a fact that poignantly mirrors the film’s own narrative and highlights the enduring struggle of older Indian actresses to be cast in leading roles.
