The Woodcutter’s Daughter (English) is
another one of Manick Sorcar’s
productions adapted from the Panchatantra, the classic
book of folktales of India. This Sorcar classic is a colorful
animation skillfully interacted with live action. It is a
story of a poor woodcutter (Abhay Kale) who saves the life
of a wounded squirrel by having her turned into a baby girl
with the help of wishes granted by a magical fish. The woodcutter
and his wife (Shubha Mehra), who had no children of their
own, adopted this baby as their own loving daughter. |
| This little girl grows up to be a beautiful
young lady (Payal Sorcar). But when her parents tried to find
her an extra-ordinary husband, she turns down all their choices
and finds someone they could never imagine to be her life
partner. |
