The belief that marriages are made in heaven but we have come down to earth to fulfill it is being challenged by the 1.7 lakh divorce cases registered in Karnataka over the last five years. What is this contradiction?
A heavenly bond may be sealed, but nurturing that bond is in our hands. Amid broad cultural shifts and social pressures, the values of dialogue, patience, and adjustment are gradually receding. At such a time, the novel “Bayakegalu Beruridaga” by Akarsh Aditya and the film directed by N. Jyothilakshmi, which has already won 25 awards, become highly relevant.
By portraying family values and the delicate threads of relationships, this story can convey an important message while seeking solutions to problems. Watching this film, which is releasing on February 6, informing those around you about it, could inspire deeper thought about relationships. To complete the heavenly “decision” with earthly “commitment,” such artistic efforts can serve as guiding beacons.
The increase in extramarital relationships in our society is a matter of concern. There may be many social and economic reasons behind this. Work pressure, lack of time that husband and wife can devote to each other, absence of communication, and the growth of emotional distance in long-term marriages are among the major factors.
Indeed, spending more time with colleagues at the workplace than with family has become a significant aspect. However, the root problem is not just lack of time, but also the lack of quality time and intimate communication.
A healthy relationship requires love, trust, responsibility, communication, and discipline. In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, the erosion of these values is creating distance between two hearts.
At such a time, the film “Bayakegalu Beruridaga”, which sensitively portrays the depth of relationships and family values, stands as a constellation of light. It contains elements that can help strengthen relationships. Is it wrong to develop love for someone else after marriage? Don’t we have the right to love? Today, many women are placing such questions before society. Here, it is not our intention to give a judgment on what is right or wrong. Marriage is a very sacred bond; the relationship between husband and wife is precious. But what is the reason married women are questioning their ‘second love’ before society?
Love is blind, but those who love should not be blind. Be clear about your choices, be honest in your relationships – this is the mantra that the team of the multi-award-winning film “Bayakegalu Beruridaga” is striving to spread to the world.
Jai Maruthi worked behind camera, Sharat Kumar done editing, Aron Karthik Venkatesh and YGK scored music for lyrics of Prashanth Thammaiah, R Poornima Dilip, Akarsh Aditya and VMN Rao.
