Choti Sarrdaarni

Womanhood is laced with many complexities imposed by culture, society, familial responsibilities and many times by self-inflicted fear. But the one who faces all the harsh realities and emerges triumphant is truly a strong woman. Chhoti Sardarni sketches the life of one such woman, Meher, a level-headed Punjabi girl who dreams of a perfect life with, Manav, the one she loves.

But all her dreams and hopes come crashing down due to unforeseen circumstances created by her mother Kulwant who is also the village chief. Kulwant has different plans for herself and her daughter’s political growth, and she and her sons murder Manav and arrange for a pregnant Meher to be married to the widow Sarabjeet with a young son, and a great political clout. Sarabjeet promises to be a father figure to her unborn child, as long as she mothers his own son. Fierce and full of fire, Meher emerges stronger, learns to combat her fears and becomes the protector of her family, a Choti Sarrdaarni.
