Scene DescriptionJadu - a man with a half-burnt face works at the brick kiln and often surprises Chutki (Sandhya Ray) on her path inside the forest. He promises to give her enough rice in exchange of sexual favours. Given his burns, Jadu wouldn't get a woman's company in another conventional way. Taking advantage of the famine, he can still force a married woman to cater to his desires by exchanging the much coveted grains. (8/24)
