MAIN AUR MERI SACHAIEN
'In my case, the ultimate destination is an ignanimous death'.
Main Aur Meri Sachain is a film about a young woman in prostitution questioning the society on a highly pertinent issue-Who is the cause for my being here? Questions to wives and families who scorn them... to the society at large which sustains flesh trade
Addressing the stigma, discrimination that women in prostitution are subjected to, the issue of male demand for prostitution is raised
The film leaves the audience with profound and thought provoking messages-where progress for women in prostitution is sysnonymous to with rapid degradation of soul, mind and body, which belies the normal prosperity associated with career progression. Should we then legitimize this trade as the oldest profession?
