5 Reasons Why Everyone Must Watch Poorna

Poorna-Courage has no Limit hit the theatres on 31st March. Besides garnering positive views, the movie has managed to inspire an entire generation. Who would believe that a 13-year-old poor tribal girl would reach the summit of the world's highest peak? It is heartening to see Bollywood redeeming itself by showing stories that really matter and can trigger change.

Here are 5 reasons why everyone must watch Poorna:

1. To acquaint oneself with the social issues plaguing our country

Parents forcing their 13-year-old girls to get hitched, school teachers shirking their duties by not starting classes on time, the dilapidated condition of rural schools and the patriarchy that exists in the country are all social mores hampering the development of children and the country at large.

2. To get inspiration

The story of a young tribal girl overcoming mountainous challenges and reaching the zenith is truly inspiring. For a country that admonishes half its population for belonging to a particular gender, Poorna is refreshing. It proves that age, background and gender of a person do not determine their success. It is the perseverance and determination that triumphs.
