Bai Chali Sasariye (1988)

Rajasthani star Neelu reprises her familiar role as a virtuous victim in a neo-traditionalist melodrama. Lakshmi’s (Neelu) mother dies giving birth to her; when her millionaire father remarries, she is raised like an outsider in her own family. Her only support (in an unusual twist) is her stepbrother, who assumes the familial responsibility in arranging her marriage. However, her misfortunes continue as her in-laws heap more suffering on her and eventually cause her death. The film purported to be against feudalism and superstition.
