Synopsis:

Sivaranjani a young college student is a promising sprinter poised to take the athletic world by storm at the National level.

Devaki is a working woman with refreshing candour who zealously guards her privacy. Saraswathi is a nurturer who cooks Flavourful meals and tends to her baby all day long. Domestic violence, family dynamics and early marriage and pregnancy intrude into their lives.

The home, considered the safest space for women, is where the casual sexism and entrenched misogyny plays out in the everyday routines of countless women across the world. ‘Sivaranjani and two other women’ is a sensitive capturing of the micro awakenings of identity, space and self-worth when family dynamics, early marriage and pregnancy threaten to usurp the individuality of three different women. The story happens across three different time-periods.

The film is a tribute to their inner strength and courage against casual sexism and patriarchy.
