Sairat is an Indian 2016 romance film starring Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar. It is directed by Nagraj Manjule and produced by Nagraj Manjule, Nitin Keni, and Nikhil Sane under the banner of Aatpat Production, Zee Studios and Essel Vision Productions.

The film follows the story of Parshya, a low-caste man, and Archie, a rich daughter of an “upper caste landlord”, who fall in love despite pressures from society that they must not be together. When their relationship is discovered, the couple is faced with violence and many challenges before they leave for the city.

The songs and background score for the film are performed by composer duo Ajay−Atul, who had earlier worked with director Nagraj Manjule on his debut film Fandry (2013). The score includes orchestral symphonies recorded at Sony Scoring Stage in Hollywood, California, a first for an Indian film. The orchestra of 66 musicians – including a 45-piece string section, 6-piece woodwind section, 13-piece brass section, 6-piece horn section, and 1 harp – was conducted by Mark Graham.

The film was selected for the 66th Berlin International Film Festival under its Generation 14 plus section. Rinku Rajguru was awarded a National Film Award – Special Jury Award / Special Mention (Feature Film) at the 63rd National Film Awards in 2015 “for her effective portrayal of a lively girl who defies societal norms but ultimately has to face the wrath of her family”.
