Unlike many commercial Indian films, Sairat uses a gritty, realistic lens to explore the "wild" (literal meaning of Sairat ) nature of young love clashing with the rigid, often brutal caste hierarchies of rural India. Key Features & Achievements
Sairat is inspired by the classic novel "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, but it's set in the rural backdrop of Maharashtra, India. The film revolves around the lives of two young protagonists, Parth (Randeep Rai) and Sairat (Shraddha Jaiswal), who belong to different castes. Parth is a Rajput, while Sairat is a Muslim. In a society where casteism and communalism are deeply entrenched, their love is forbidden from the very beginning. sairat movie
