Synopsis
'In The Name Of Tai - Tai Ke Naam' is inspired by a factual tragedy of slain activist Navleen Kumar's heroic, short yet audacious life.Ujjwal Thengdi is adamant to keep her precious life in a cherished memory through his film Tai.
The film is a female orientated story inspired by a true story of a dedicated well educated village woman (lawyer), respectfully known as Tai (Tai means elder sister) who chooses a valiant but a perilous avenue. She unfortunately suffers sexually (not rape!) as well as psychologically in her personal life, yet altruistically battles for a common cause of protecting acres of land owned by the village farmers and deprived poverty-stricken village community from the clutches of the corridor of Power, Builders, (The land sharks) and of course not forgetting the voracious politicians.
This story is inspired by a real story - that of an ordinary woman who struggled for 20 years against the powerful lobby of land mafia.
Filmmaker Ujjwal Thengdi is well known for his hard hitting Award winning debut Marathi film 'Vazir' (Vazir means a Queen in the chess of game).
