“Sisakti Rooh”: A stirring short film against violence on women premieres
Mumbai: On International Day for the elimination of violence against women, Jigsaw Pictures unveiled the teaser of “Sisakti Rooh” (Sobbing Soul), a poignant 3-minute short film inspired by a nazm penned by the legendary Sahir Ludhianvi. The film confronts the harsh realities of violence against women, urging society to adopt empathy and respect.
Inspired by the tragic assault on a lady doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, an incident that shook the nation, Sisakti Rooh seeks to ensure such atrocities are not forgotten. This hard-hitting narrative carries a timeless message aimed at fostering meaningful change.
“Sisakti Rooh, is the result of that idea. We joined hands with Abdullah Saleem Khan’s concept & his sensitivity towards this subject was the reason that he’s best suited to direct it as well” – Jigsaw Pictures, founder & producer, Rajnish Lall. “We also decided to produce this short film with the support of like-minded young & seasoned actors & technicians at no cost, so that we can offer the cost of production to a women destitute home where it can be used for their well-being.”
The teaser launches on 25 November, with the full film releasing later this week. Jigsaw Pictures urges individuals, influencers, and policymakers to amplify the film’s message across social media and drive meaningful discussions on ending violence against women.
