Set in rural Maharashtra, Jogwa follows the lives of men and women forced into the ritual role of “jogta/jogtin” — devotees who relinquish personal freedom to serve a local deity and perform devotional duties. The story centers on the emotional and psychological cost of that role: loss of identity, enforced celibacy, social stigma and state of helplessness in the face of custom. The film examines autonomy versus tradition, the violence of ritualized gender roles, and the possibility of resistance and dignity. Jogwa Movie With English Subtitles
