Andarkahini is a saga of womanhood in the correlative context of human relationships and complex society. Four women. Four variations of relationships. One society with four facades. Andarkahini is stitched with four stories of different diversities with the core crisis of womanhood. In the film, four women protagonists from four different stories are played by one woman only. Keeping one leading lady common for all the four characters, symbolises the very aspect of womanhood as a metaphor. With stories and different characters, the film travels through various contours of our society to open up the dark hidden aspects of various relationships and its' complexities. The core character always remains a woman, only the colour of relationship changes. At times she is a daughter, a sister, a friend and a wife. With each different character, the story jumps into introspection of layers of the very relationship and comes out of it with core value of realisation.
