Devika
দেবিকা
Synopsis
The movie portrays the social stigma for widows in the late 17th century that was prevalent in India.

The movie makes the point that instead of behaving like meek sheep under social influences, we must understand every individual's perspective from our own point of view. The movie ends on a happy note where Kishore and Devika both stand against the blind and illogical superstitious mentality and are finally reunited.
