Girls Will Be Girls

‘Girls Will Be Girls’ is not based on a true story. The director, Shuchi Talati, conceived the story drawing from her own experiences as a young girl, her school in Vadodara, and was inspired by Enid Blyton’s book series Malory Towers and St. Clare’s. The film is a work of fiction but reflects real-life themes and emotions. By: K Dass.

India - The Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF) has always been a beacon for groundbreaking cinema, and this year is no exception. Among its illustrious line-up is the Sundance audience award winner in world cinema, 'Girls Will Be Girls', directed by Shuchi Talati. This Indian romance has captivated audiences with its poignant exploration of mother-daughter relationships and sexual awakening.

Set in the picturesque landscapes of India, 'Girls Will Be Girls' is a compelling Indo-French coming-of-age drama that delves into the intricacies of familial bonds and personal discovery. The film's narrative is both scintillating and profound, resonating with viewers across cultural boundaries. It's a story that promises to linger long after the credits roll, offering a fresh perspective on the genre.

The cast features the multi-award-winning Malayalam film actress Kani Kusruti, alongside Jitin Gulati, with newcomers Preeti Panigrahi and Kesav Binoy Kiron taking on lead roles. Their performances have been lauded for their authenticity and depth, bringing Shuchi Talati's vision to life with remarkable finesse.

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal's debut production, 'Girls Will Be Girls', stands as a testament to their commitment to championing unique stories. Fazal, known for his roles in international films such as Victoria & Abdul and Kandahar, expressed that premiering at Sundance with their first production was a dream realised.

As TIFF continues to showcase an array of cinematic treasures, 'Girls Will Be Girls' is poised to be a highlight of this year's festival.
