Girls Will Be Girls is a joint venture of Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal’s production houses – Pushing Buttons Studios, Blink Digital, Crawling Angel Films and Dolce Vita Films. The film, directed by Shuchi Talati, unfolds a gripping tale set in a boarding school nestled in a small Himalayan hill town in northern India.

The film also stars Jitin Gulati and Kesav Binoy Kiron in pivotal roles.
An excited Richa Chadha said, “Getting through in such a competitive cinema festival is itself a big deal. I have high hopes from Shuchi as a director and the rank newcomers as actors. Kani, the world has witnessed her brilliance again in ‘Killer Soup’. I feel blessed”.
Ali Fazal added, “As new founders, we’re exploring new worlds through new stories, Sundanc happens to be the greatest step one into the next worlds to be discovered by us hopefully soon. I am thrilled that we get to share our creation with the world. Also very glad to be blessed with such an amazing jury on world competition that will watch Girls Will Be Girls”.
The Sundance Film Festival, known for showcasing groundbreaking independent cinema, provides a fitting stage for the world premiere of Girls Will Be Girls. Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal’s debut production promises to leave a lasting impact, offering a fresh perspective on storytelling and the human experience.
