Synopsis

The film, Kiske Liye (Who is this Women’s Day for?), takes the viewers through the daily life of an impoverished poor woman in a big city, questioning the glamour associated with the International Women's Day. Amidst the heat, dirt and dust of a metropolis, the struggles of everyday existence of a road side vendor woman hits one hard as we follow her from dawn to dusk. The film, symbolically shot under a city flyover, questions the abject poverty of a developed nation which prides itself on having plastic occasions. The character of a young woman living in open surroundings contrasts sharply our customary obeisance to international notions of womanhood.
