Chitraleka

Set on the quiet fringes of Lucknow, this story follows Chitralekha—a woman born into silence but destined for fire. As the daughter of a sex worker and a defier of societal norms, Chitralekha challenges the narrow definitions of morality, femininity, and shame. In a world that weaponizes desire and punishes defiance, she becomes both mirror and myth. Fiercely lyrical and unflinchingly honest, this is a story of inheritance, rebellion, and the cost of becoming one's own truth.
