Psychological Apects and Phasewise Analysis of Puro’s Personality in Film Pinjar: A Trauma Centered and Feminist Psychological Study

Author(s) Dr. Sharda Ghoghre
Country India
Abstract The Paper examine the psychological journey of Puro in the Film Pinjar after her abduction and how the traumatic event shapes her personality in different phase of traumatic events take place in Her life. In 2003 film Pinjar which is directed by Dr. Chandra Prakash Dwivedi, adapted from Amrita Pritam’s novel, offers one of Indian cinema’s most complex portrayals of female trauma, identity crisis, displacement, and resilience during the Partition of 1947. This paper examines the psychological dimensions of Puro’s character through a phase-wise transformation model, mapping her psychological states across the narrative: Phase of Shock, Phase of Fear and Helplessness, Phase of Conflict and Identity Fracture, Phase of Negotiation and Meaning-Making, and Phase of Acceptance and Post-Traumatic Growth. Drawing from theories of trauma psychology, learned helplessness, identity reconstruction, attachment theory, feminist psychology, and resilience theory, the paper investigates how dramatic events shape Puro’s emotional, cognitive, and behavioural adaptations. The analysis demonstrates how extreme violence and social collapse alter personality trajectories, how space and context become psychological agents, and how Puro evolves from a victim of patriarchal violence into an autonomous moral agent. Ultimately, the study reveals how Pinjar represents not mere personal suffering but the collective trauma of Partition and the psychological survival of women in violent cultural landscapes.
