DC Rate

This Haryanvi movie follows an educated yet unemployed man, Naresh Kumar, who manages to secure a clerical job.

Naresh and other employees are exploited by their boss, who makes them work long hours but pays low wages.

Saanwari

Pallavi Roy’s Haryanvi movie follows a villager, Bhanwar, who ‘buys’ a bride named Saanwari only to discover she's a transgender person. What begins as an arrangement gradually evolves into a genuine and deep bond of love between Bhanwar and Saanwri. Their relationship faces severe opposition from Banwar's greedy relatives, but nothing could change his mind and leave Saanwari. Rather, their relationship becomes stronger, exploring love.
