In the poignant tale of “Leirik,” a young Basak artist from Manipur faces life’s harsh realities. As the sole child of an impoverished Brahman, Leirik’s passion for Basak is nurtured by her ailing father. Tragedy strikes when her father succumbs to cancer, leaving behind insurmountable debt from medical expenses. In a desperate bid to save her family, Leirik is wed to a wealthy elder in exchange for debt forgiveness. Her life mirrors the Basak’s lyrical saga, as she becomes “Radhika” to her husband’s “Aaiyon,” while her beloved Ibomcha embodies “Krishna.” Ultimately, Leirik’s journey ends in a tragic departure from the world.
