'A child gives birth to a mother ….' That’s the catch line of Producer - Director Advocate Samrruddhi Porey's
new film 'Mala Aai Vhaychay', which is
based on a true incident. At a time when Surrogation has
become a big business in India,
Samrruoddhi has raised the legal
implications, through one such
happening in a cinematic format.
Getting a clue from one of her cases, which had created a deep impact on
her mind, Ms. Samrruddhi Porey has
put in all efforts to make this film with
a realistic look. Synopsis: Mary is a model from a foreign
country. She comes to India with a big
dream of becoming a mother. She
approaches a village co-operative
society and selects a poor woman
Yashoda, who accepts her proposal, for need of money due to personal
problems. When Yashoda gets pregnant, Mary
starts living with her in village. In this
process, she becomes familiar with
people around and develops a liking
towards their culture. Many funny
incidents also take place during the period of her stay here. When all is
well, the destiny has different plans.
After 5 and half months of pregnancy,
during one such regular check up of
Yashoda, the doctor fears that the
child could be born handicapped. On hearing this, Mary’s dream shatters. Abortion isn't possible at this stage. So,
she changes her mind and
approaches an orphanage by paying
huge amount with a request to admit
the child after birth. Accordingly, she
instructs Yashoda to do so and leaves back to her home country. All these
happenings disturb Yashoda, as she
cries for the child’s custody. The child in womb already evokes the emotions
of a mother in Yashoda. She decides
not to send the child to the
orphanage, even if born physically
handicapped. By the grace of God, Yashoda gives
birth to a lovely, healthy and normal
child with blue eyes and Golden hair.
He grows up in Yashoda’s hut and gets all the love and affection from her.
The real drama still awaits. Will a
mother in Mary come back in search of
her child? And, if she does, to whom
the child belongs to, by law? The
struggle for motherhood is what the film ‘Mala Aai Vhaychay ’( I want to be a Mother) has tried to highlight.
