Rupban - The Beautiful
Editor
The film is a story of a unique woman called Rupban, a great exponent of Indian Scroll Painting, an age-old heritage, which combines the oral and visual storytelling tradition (the ancient cinema!). The narrative follows the journey of a creative woman who has faced many obstacles in her life but always turned to the art itself for answers. It celebrates the undaunted spirit of Rupban, who has broken the prototype of veil clad Muslim woman and emerged from the remote Indian village to the global audience.
