Beyond Boundaries: Chaitri Vasavada

The first film screening by Sauhard- proud, excited, nervous all at the same time the movie, Beyond Boundaries, basically talks about those people who overlooked all boundaries to follow their heart, they did not let their religion take over their power of love. 

Being a simple human being, often questions regarding religious acceptability arise when it comes to marrying someone outside your religion. Even today when people say they've progressed  and  accepted new cultures and traditions, in the back of their minds, they still fear if there is someone in their family who wants to have an inter-caste/inter-religion marriage.  Through this film, Sauhard has portrayed love stories of five such couples, who fell in love with someone outside their religion and have successfully taken their relationship to another level. Although they had to pass through many obstacles, they did not lose hope. They convinced the world, the people around them who were always against their marriage and had doubts and questions regarding their relationship. The couple talked about how they have successfully passed through obstacles like riots, bomb blasts, where religion played an important role. They supported each other, helped one another instead of blaming their communities, at that particular point of time. This is something that made me respect them. This film teaches us to remove the religious differences and accept the world as a family. No religion is good or bad. Love has the power to overcome all obstacles.. you just have to have faith. The story has also inspired us to think in a different direction, inspired us to follow our heart and believe in it. Those five couples taught us how easy it is for us to bring the change that is required in today’s world, also, accept the change, together. Dealing with problems, together. Facing the world, together. This film has thus, taught us many things that can change our perception and beliefs in many ways and it also proves that ‘love’ is the strongest of all the feelings.
