Daman: A Victim of Marital Violence

The film centers on the Saikia family, particularly the dynamics between two brothers, Sanjay and Sunil. Sanjay, portrayed as hot-tempered, is pressured by his parents into marrying Durga, a woman from a lower caste. Despite her hopes for a better life, Durga faces severe physical and mental abuse from her husband right from the start.

Daman dives into themes of domestic violence and social inequality. The narrative reflects the struggles of women in oppressive environments, making it a significant piece of cinema in the Indian drama genre. The performances by Raveena Tandon and the supporting cast, including Sayaji Shinde and Sanjay Suri, contribute to the film's intense portrayal of these issues.
