The story is based on the mythical story of Ramayan. In the epic, Ahalya plays the wife of Gautama, who is a sage and much older to her. The twist comes when Lord Indra gets attracted to her beauty and disguises himself as her husband and pursues her. And hence, Ahalya is cursed by the sage for her infidelity. Ghosh has interpreted the story by giving it a feminist twist and stoned the male character instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Ff82XtV78xo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ahalya | Sujoy Ghosh | Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ff82XtV78xo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>3.
