This is a very good movie. It's about an unlikely friendship between two women.
A movie review.
This review gets to the heart of the movie, but has more spoilers.
Early in the movie, the term "mehr" is used. In Islam, it is a payment by the groom to the bride, and is a mandatory part of a marriage contract. That Wikipedia page has more interesting info on the subject. I only mention that as I was unfamiliar with the term; religion is a very minor aspect of the movie.
The 2 Indian states shown in the movie are Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh.
Another perhaps interesting tidbit is that in this movie, it is the non-Muslim woman who wears the headscarf/veil (see: ghoonghat), rather than the Muslim one. And that based on the above Wiki page, only 1.63% of the population in Himachal Pradesh is actually Muslim.
