Despot of all he surveys, one of his more charming customs is the local variant of droit de signeur (“entitled hereditary serial rapist” works just as well in modern parlance). He’s the right-hand man of the local landowner, Thakur Digvijay Singh, a charismatic sociopath. The moneylender, you see, is not working for himself. Another farmer, more pertinent to our story, gets to live because their daughter “pays off” the debt. In the aftermath, one farmer copies real life farmers of that region and kills himself and his entire family because they have lost everything. When a swarm of locusts (?) destroys the year’s crops, more than one family lives to rue the day they made a deal with the devilish moneylender.


Fathers desperate for money figure this is an acceptable gamble – after all, God is great, the crop will soon be in and what can the moneylender possibly want with their daughters?Īs you can imagine, this is not a situation that is going to end well. It takes real talent in the cojones area, after all, to take an oft-repeated criticism of your company’s productions – to wit, the lack of any resemblance to reality as we know it – and twist it to your satisfaction to the point where it is both a plausible answer to your fiercest critics and a giant one finger salute to their sensibilities.įeaturing a “ ripped from the headlines” plot, Bairi Piya is set in rural Maharashtra where the farmers have it bad: they’re not just battling Mother Nature for her doubtful bounty but most of them are deep in the clutches of the local moneylender who actively encourages them to not only get into debt but to pledge their comely young daughters if they don’t have anything of value to hock.

To these people I say: go forth my children and gaze upon the marvel that is her new TV soap, Bairi Piya. Some people have mentioned in the past that they’re puzzled by my Ekta Mata fascination.
