Mouna Poratam (The Silent War or The Silent Struggle) is a 1989 Indian drama film directed by Mohan Gandhi,[1] starring debutants Yamuna and Vinod Kumar, with music composed by S. Janaki.[2] The movie is based on the real-life story of Sabita Badhei, which gained massive media coverage. It tells the story of a tribal girl, Durga (portrayed by Yamuna), who is betrayed by a government officer and fights for her conjugal rights, seeking marital recognition to give proper identity to her illegitimate child.[2] The government intervenes to appoint a Lok Adalat to give speedy justice in this case.[3] Produced by Ushakiran Movies,[2] the film won two Nandi Awards. A sequel for the film, in the form of TV serial, began airing from 4 April 2022 on ETV under the same title.
