Mumbai, June 18 (IANS) Star couple Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal’s production ‘Girls Will Be Girls’, directed by Shuchi Talati, is set for release in France and the UK at the end of June.
“We are incredibly proud to see ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ embraced warmly on a global platform. The film’s themes resonate universally, and we are excited for audiences in France and the UK to be among the first to experience it,” said Richa.
The actress added that she is extremely elated with all the global recognition the film has been receiving, including wins at Sundance.
“The film also recently screened at the UK chapter of Sundance. Now we are eagerly anticipating the moment when viewers in India can watch it too towards the end of this year,” Richa said.
‘Girls Will Be Girls’ is a compelling coming-of-age drama that delves into the life of 16-year-old Mira, portrayed by Preeti Panigrahi, and her tense relationship with her mother during the hormonal throes of nascent adulthood.
Set against the backdrop of a strict boarding school in the Himalayas, the film explores Mira’s journey of teenage love through the lens of the societal judgment of female desire. Themes of mother-daughter affection and rivalry, bodily autonomy, and generational female awakening are poignantly portrayed in this powerful narrative.
‘Girls Will Be Girls’ is an Indo-French co-production between India’s Pushing Buttons Studios, France’s Dolce Vita Films, and Blink Digital.
