Durga It - 39-s Not Just A Love Story 2002 Hindi Movie

Durga (played by J.D. Chakravarthy) is a college student, who is depicted as peace-loving yet impulsive. He falls in love with Gayatri (Priyanka Upendra), a fellow student.

Once the misunderstanding is cleared—revealing the pressure Gayatri is under—they reconcile and plan to marry.

But the film brutally asks: What is the price of that agency when the system and society are stacked against you?
