"Munnudi" is an effort to engage the viewer in a heart-to-heart discussion about:
A clash between the true spirit of religious tenets and demeaning customs.

Ignorance,fear, poverty forcing women into the trap set by unscrupulous men.

Exploitation of woman for the sheer thrill of man in a male dominated society.

A poignant tale of a woman who rises in revolt against the system and takes the lead to walk away into freedom-freedom from fear and oppression.

The Victory of the Human spirit
