Riwaj is a powerful and thought-provoking drama that highlights the struggles of women caught in the grip of oppressive traditions. At its core is Zainab (Myraa Sareen), a courageous woman who refuses to be a victim of triple talaq. Stripped of her dignity and abandoned by the law, she is left to fend for herself in a society that seeks to silence her. But instead of succumbing to despair, she rises-challenging deep-rooted injustices and fighting for her rights, freedom, and identity. Her journey is not just about survival; it is a battle against a system designed to suppress women's voices. With every obstacle, Zainab grows stronger, becoming a symbol of resilience and hope for countless others facing the same fate. Her unwavering spirit forces society to confront its prejudices, making Riwaj an eye-opening and emotionally charged experience. With a stellar cast including Myraa Sareen, Aftab Shivdasani, Mithun Chakraborty, Jaya Prada, Zakir Hussain, Ashwani Kapoor, and Anita Raj, the film delivers a gripping narrative that sheds light on gender inequality while inspiring change. Produced by Kashish Khan of Kashish Khan Productions and directed by Manoj Sati, Riwaj is not just a story-it's a call for justice, a tribute to strength, and a reminder that no woman should be silenced. The film's soul-stirring music enhances its impact, adding depth to the emotions and reinforcing its powerful message. Shot in the picturesque locations of Dehradun and Mumbai, the film's stunning visuals further elevate its storytelling, making it a cinematic experience that stays with the audience long after the credits roll.
