"Mrs." examines a woman's search for her voice: Malhotra Sanya
The actress emphasized that the film festival has consistently served as a vital forum for honoring a variety of storylines.
Mumbai: Actress Sanya Malhotra is scheduled to visit Australia in 2024 for the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM). The film "Mrs." delves into the intricate and subtle journey of a woman seeking her own voice.
"I am thrilled and honoured that 'Mrs' will have its Australian premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne," Sanya remarked in reference to the film's premiere in Australia. Because it examines the complicated and nuanced path of a woman striving to discover her own voice in the face of societal expectations, this movie holds a very particular place in my heart.
The actress will be joined by the film’s director, Arati Kadav, for the premiere in Australia.
Sanya added: “Working with Arati Kadav and the entire team has been a profound experience. I believe the story will resonate with audiences everywhere, and I can’t wait to share it with the viewers at IFFM.”
The actress emphasised that the film festival has always been a significant platform for celebrating diverse narratives.
‘Mrs’ delves into the intricate life of a woman, portrayed by Sanya, who is a trained dancer and dance teacher. After her marriage, she faces the challenges of being a wife while striving to discover her own path and voice.
The critically praised Malayalam film "The Great Indian Kitchen," which is being remade in Hindi, follows her journey of self-expression as she navigates the expectations society places on her married life.
Nishant Dahiya and Kanwaljit Singh are also featured.
In addition to being nominated for Best Actress at IFFM 2024, Sanya was earlier honored with the Best Actress award for the film at the New York Indian Film Festival.
"This film delves into the emotional and societal intricacies of a woman's life, and having it as a centerpiece at IFFM is a testament to its universal appeal and relevance," director Arati Kadav continued in his remarks about the picture.
"The character gains authenticity and depth through Sanya's performance, creating a compelling story," the speaker continued.
