Dooja Ghar

“The romance of Mirza and Sahiban is a familiar folk tale for Punjabi-speaking people around the world. Written by Pilu in the 17th century, it has been depicted in many movies as a tragedy of betrayal and honour killing. Sahiban breaks her warrior lover’s arrows when Mirza is sleeping to prevent him from warding off an attack from her brothers.”

Dooja Ghar, which opened Friday August 5th in Langley, is a modern-day interpretation of the popular 17th century Punjabi folktale. But it’s not a re-telling of the tragic love story; instead, it spotlights the culture that creates the pain.
