Parinati, also known as Parinati: Badal Swatasathi (transl. Chang for Oneself) is a 2025 Indian Marathi-language drama film written and directed by Akshay Balsaraf. The film stars Amruta Subhash and Sonalee Kulkarni in the lead roles.[1][2] It follows the journey of two strong women from different backgrounds and explores their evolving friendship.[3]
The film follows the story of Dr. Saili, a well-respected doctor and mother who leads what appears to be a happy life with her husband and son. Her world shatters when she discovers her husband's infidelity. Devastated by the betrayal, Dr. Saili spirals into alcoholism as a coping mechanism for her emotional pain.
At the lowest point in her life, Dr. Saili encounters Jharna, a vibrant and fearless bar dancer. Jharna's compassion and positive outlook become instrumental in helping Dr. Saili navigate her crisis. Set against the backdrop of the Navratri season, the film chronicles the unlikely but deeply rooted friendship that develops between these two women from vastly different social backgrounds. Their bond becomes a transformative force, enabling both of them to discover their inner strength and rebuild their lives after facing profound emotional turmoil.
