Sonchiriya

In 1975, a gang of rebels based in Chambal watch as the Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sanctions a State of Emergency. The gang is led by the dacoit Man Singh (Manoj Bajpayee) and his two loyal followers, Vakil Singh (Ranvir Shorey) and Lakhna (Sushant Singh Rajput). When the leader is murdered during an attempted robbery by impulsive police officer Vijender Singh Gujjar (Ashutosh Rana), the group begins to self-destruct in an internal conflict over ideologies, leading to a split in the gang, with one half under the leadership of Vakil and the other under Lakhna.

Vakil believes that Lakhna betrayed them all and called the cops onto the crime scene, whereas Lakhna is frustrated by the life of a rebel and wishes to surrender to the authorities. As the two engage in this power struggle, they come across Indumati Tomar (Bhumi Pednekar) and her sister Sonchiriya (Khushiya), who has been brutally raped and needs urgent medical attention. When they ask for Vakil's help, the gang agrees to get the injured and violated woman to the hospital.

Set in a world in which the world of bandits ruled over the ravines of Chambal and the caste system continued to restrict all, 'Sonchiriya' is directed and written by Abhishek Chaubey ('Udta Punjab').
