Through an encounter with four Mirasans and their songs, the film explores a rich musical and oral tradition kept alive by these women. What is the nature of their relationship with their land-owning patrons? What happens when Punjabi pop music takes the entertainment industry by storm? How are the Mirasans dealing with dwindling patronage and pressures from men of their community? The documentary tries to grapple with these concerns faced by women who find themselves shunted out of their expressive traditions. At another level, music becomes a vehicle to explore the resilience of Malwa's composite culture. Video/2001/44mins./English with subtitles Produced by IGNCA.
