Shadowbox (Baksho Bondi) tells the powerful story of Maya, a woman who balances multiple jobs while caring for her teenage son and her husband, a retired soldier grappling with PTSD. When he mysteriously disappears, Maya is forced into a fight for survival that tests her strength, love, and resilience.

Director Tanushree Das on the Film’s Theme

Tanushree Das, the debutant director of the film, explained, “In Shadowbox (Baksho Bondi), we wanted to explore the invisible battles fought every day within families—the quiet endurance of women, the stigma around mental health, and the ways in which survival is negotiated in an unforgiving world.

Maya, the protagonist’s journey, reflects the struggles of countless women who fight to keep their families together despite overwhelming odds. We hope the film sheds light on these challenges and sparks important conversations about resilience and the silent strength of women.”
