Saatchya Aat Gharat (transl. At home within seven) is a 2004 Indian Marathi-language film directed by Sanjay Surkar and produced by Smita Talwalkar. The film was released on 31 May 2004. It is partly based upon a 2002 incident in the University of Pune campus, where a student was raped by someone posing as a policeman. This was the debut movie for Kartika Rane in Marathi film Industry.
Plot
The cinematic narrative intricately examines the intricate tapestry of contemporary youth, scrutinizing their attitudes, beliefs, and aspirations in the face of a rapidly changing societal landscape. The storyline unfolds around a group of young men and women grappling with the complex issue of morality amidst the nuanced challenges of the present era. It eloquently captures the essence of a generation navigating the intricate web of evolving values.
At its core, the narrative serves as a poignant commentary on the unchanged outlook society holds, particularly towards women and, more poignantly, victims of heinous crimes like rape. Despite the march of modernization, deep-seated biases persist, and the film sheds light on this societal paradox. Central to the storyline is the distressing event involving the violation of a college girl by a police officer, a pivotal incident that acts as a lens through which the characters confront, resist, and sometimes succumb to the prevailing norms and prejudices. In essence, the film weaves together the personal struggles of its characters with the broader canvas of societal attitudes, creating a compelling tapestry that reflects the complexities of morality and justice in the contemporary milieu.
