Gangor Movie Ott Exclusive -

The source material, Choli Ke Peeche (translated as "Behind the Bodice"), is a gut-punch of a story written by Mahasweta Devi in the 1990s. It follows Gangor, a Santhal tribal woman, and her husband, who migrate to a rural town looking for work. When Gangor is sexually assaulted by a local upper-caste landlord and a policeman, she becomes a symbol of shame—until a leftist photographer captures her bruised face.
