Mythological reference
Significance of the film's title
The film's title is inspired by the Mahabharata, in which Gandhari, the Queen of Hastinapur, chose to wear a blindfold throughout her married life. This act was seen as a way to share her husband's blindness. Helmed by Devashish Makhija and written by Kanika Dhillon, Gandhari is produced under Kathha Productions. The film tells the story of a mother who continues to search for her kidnapped child. It also features Swastika Mukherjee and Ishwak Singh.
