500 Rupay | An Innocent Girl To A Prostitute | Hindi Short Film

Sarita, an innocent teenage girl who lives in a dinghy chawl of 1990s Bombay works as part-time prostitute. She seems oblivious to the grim reality of her job and focuses on the prospect of enjoying the car rides her rich customers offer when they pick her up. One day, three men pick her up in a car and try to make advances on her but more often than not the situation gets diffused with her charm. She is playful, fun loving and cheerful like any teenage girl and quite different from the stereotypical imagery of a sex-worker.
Based on a short story 'Dus Rupiya' by Sadat Hasan Manto

The First film with more realism ,the gal knows what she's been doing till now and has accepted everything and is comfortable with everything around and it touches many hearts, Sarita sings so well, congrats guys

@@roshnik5137 then why she choose this pros*itution job

[@IvyLeagu]

This was a very nice concept of innocence and how the men were humble but not animals towards her. They respected her even when she was provided for their fun. I loved how she returned the money as if you shown me kindness and because of this I cannot take your money. He was amazed of that graciousness and surprised because it probably never happened that way. What sadden me is that there are so many young poor girls having to do this to help their family and then they're shunned by their community for just surviving the only way they know how, was taught how, or was forced to do. Blessings let us protect our youth and pray for equality, wealth and health for everyone.🙏❤️💯

of course they did everything but it was not necessary to show in the movie what prostitute does.she is just OK with her profession.in fact she is raised up to be OK with it.just read the description you will get what they wanted to portray

[@city341mfc5]

@@Vargav31 no they didn't do anything. That was the concept you didn't realize that, at the she said "kyu lu" that mean she said if you all didn't do anything then why should i take that money. Because instead of doing something physical with that girl, she enjoyed and felt happy with them. She lived her day with joy. That was enough to pay.

[@charumodi2326]

I want to cry so badly after watching this... Like she was just 14 years old... And she didn't had any idea of what she was doing bcoz her family was the one who probably made her do this... She tried to concentrate on the car ride and not what happened after that... It was so emotional...

[@aishwaryadeshmukh9597]

@Afruza Ahmed first of all see the short film properly. They haven't shown something like the girl was being troubled by them or something. It was her job we can say. In reality no 1 respects a sex worker they make use of them how much ever possible. But in this video all they did is to make her happy. And didn't use her body at all. For which my comment was that unfortunately it can never happen in reality. So maybe you didn't understand the movie.
