Sharmajee Ki Beti (2024)

Sharmajee Ki Beti is a warm yet honest peek into the lives of Indian "Super-Women", all with the common surname of Sharma. Best friends, Swati and Gurveen are in their early teens, and on the cusp of puberty, trying to come to terms with who they are. Swati thinks her mother, the hard-working tutor Jyoti, has no time for her. Gurveen's mother, Kiran, struggles with urban loneliness and an absentee husband. Kiran's neighbour, Tanvi, is the star player of her Ranji cricket team, but her boyfriend fails to appreciate her, with his constant attempts to make her behave more "feminine". A dazzling rollercoaster of aspirations, fantasies, coming of age and heartbreak. Sharmajee Ki Beti, with its sharp wit and attention to detail universally strikes a chord, as an ultimate celebration of womanhood.
