Curiosità

White Rainbow is an Indian Hindi-language film directed by Dharan Mandrayar and starring Sonali Kulkarni, Amardeep Jha, Shameem Shaikh, and Amruta Subhash. The film is about the widows of Vrindavan: women who are married off at a young age, lost their husbands due to illness and wear white waiting to return with them in the afterlife. Several of these women are forced out of their house since they rejected a second marriage. The film follows four different widows.

Production

Linda Mandrayar first learned about the widows of Vrindavan from her son's reading assignment Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan and her husband Dharan Mandrayar decided to make a film about them.

The film was named White Rainbow because Dharan Mandrayar felt that the widows still have lot of life in them. The film began production after Water's (a film also about the Vrindavan widows) shooting was halted in 1999. Mandrayar was inspired to make this film after he read about a 13-year-old widow who was forced to go to Vrindavan.
