This is a story of isolation and hope, of a writer in exile. The writer is banished for her attack on religious fundamentalism and patriarchy and her cat is suddenly left alone.

Set against the backdrop of British colonial rule, Devi Chowdhurani tells the untold story of India's first female freedom fighter. From a humble villager to a fearless rebel, she rises against oppression with the support of Hindu monks, leading the first armed revolution against the British East India Company. A tale of courage, sacrifice, and resilience, this historical epic brings to life a forgotten chapter of India's fight for freedom.

A lookback down the memory lane at the lives of the stars who disappeared into the darkness.
