Spoilers ahead
Durga Devi, Aruna Irani, stands at the center of Beti No.1, a film that shines a light on how society often lowers the status of women. Her husband, Dashrath Bhatnagar, a gharjamai, lives under her roof and runs the household alongside Durga Devi. The couple has three sons—Ram, Laxman, and Bharat Govinda—who grow up under a rigid, traditional code that places daughters’ fates far lower in the family hierarchy. Durga Devi declares that all her wealth should go to her first grandchild, a decision that sets the stage for conflict when her elder sons produce only daughters. As a result, the wives and daughters find themselves increasingly shunned by the family, their roles devalued and their voices sidelined.
