Chaitra Bidaye's version of how 'Pinjar' pans out thereafter


This movie ends where Puro (Urmila Matondkar) has to make choice between Rashid and Ramchand. She had the choice to get married to Ramchand and start a new life but she chooses to marry Rashid. The reason behind her decision is not shown in the film. But I feel after the film ends, her choices need to be analysed.
Though Puro is married to Rashid this forced marriage is akin to death. She feels like a pinjar, who exists but has ceased to live. Puro should rethink her decision and should marry Ramchand not for family honour but to make a new start. If she is with Rashid she will remember all that has happened to her. It will make it difficult for her to move ahead. It is true that she somewhere wishes to be with Rashid. But who knows, it could be the Stockholm Syndrome!!!!

Ramchand can give her a life that Rashid certainly cannot. Ramchand will not exploit her or harness her. He will give her all the freedom. I feel Puro’s parents should accept her back home. Instead of family honour they should think about what is best for their daughter. Puro deserves Ramchand and Ramchand deserves Puro. By being with Ramchand the trauma that Puro underwent and her status in the society and family will also change and she will not be held as victim of anything nor will she have to give penalty for family honour. Puro with get respect and honour from Ramchand and like this her life will have a new start.
