It is a film directed by a Tamil filmmaker that explores women\u2019s experiences across the world, but especially in our country. The social stigmas of being a girl in traditional Indian families cut deep and are immensely relatable, brought to life by Varsha and the team.<\/p>\n<p>STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe film also makes you feel that you are not alone in your struggles, as many people are also fighting the same battle. There is a sense of sisterhood because it is a powerful female story of choices, of love, and not hate. It also reassures you that everything will be ok; you will find your space,\u201d added Roy, whose own film \u2018Songs of Forgotten Trees\u2019 captured the lives of two women in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Bad Girl\u2019 will be distributed by Flip Films as it gears up to release theatrically in Hindi on September 26. Also starring Shanthipriya and with music composed by Amit Trivedi, \u2018Bad Girl\u2019 debuted with unprecedented acclaim at the 54th International Film Festival Rotterdam, winning the prestigious NETPAC award.
