Bride Married Off To 5 Men, Forced To Sleep With Father-In-Law: The Bold Film That Shocked All
Some films leave a lasting impression on both the heart and mind — and the 2003 Indian dystopian film Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women is one such example. The film was written and directed by Manish Jha and featured a bold, unsettling narrative that stunned audiences. Viewers and critics alike described it as disturbing upon its release. Set against the backdrop of Bihar, the film starred Sushant Singh alongside well-known names such as Piyush Mishra, Sudhir Pandey, Aditya Srivastava, Tulip Joshi, and Pankaj Jha. The story begins with the birth of a newborn girl, setting the tone for the harrowing events that follow. It is shown that whenever a girl is born in the village, she is killed collectively by the community. Over time, this leads to a situation where not a single young woman remains — only men and a handful of elderly women are left. The absence of women soon becomes a serious concern, particularly regarding whom the village's young men will marry. The story then takes a dark turn, as the growing frustration among the men, fuelled by unfulfilled sexual desires, begins to surface in disturbing ways. In their growing frustration, some individuals are seen watching porn, while others engage in inappropriate acts with performers, including those from marginalised gender identities. Some even resort to making animals the victims of their brutality. In this way, the village descends into a grim state. Meanwhile, the head of one household decides to purchase a girl from another village. With five sons and no women around, he arranges for the girl to marry one of his sons. A woman named Kalki is married to all five sons in the household — a situation she could never have imagined, even in her worst dreams. She is expected to spend each week with a different brother, and her vulnerability is further exploited when her father-in-law initiates a relationship with her. Among the sons, the youngest shows compassion and understanding. He recognises Kalki's suffering and empathises with her plight on a deeper level. Over time, the two grow emotionally close, finding comfort in each other's understanding. However, their bond is not accepted by the rest of the family. Tensions escalate, and tragically, the younger son is killed. Soon after, Kalki discovers she is pregnant. The news of Kalki's pregnancy brings unexpected joy to the family. However, this soon turns into chaos, as each member claims to be the father and tensions rise to dangerous levels, with family members turning against one another. The film was widely praised for its powerful content and daring subject matter. On IMDb, Matrubhoomi holds a strong rating of 7.7. One user called it 'a great film,' while another admitted they 'still haven't been able to forget it.' Despite the acclaim, many also noted how deeply disturbing and unsettling the experience was. The film is currently available to watch on YouTube.
