The trailer of the upcoming slice-of-life comedy film, Sharmajee Ki Beti is finally out. Presented by Applause Entertainment, and produced by Ellipsis Entertainment Production, the film is written and directed by Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, and stars Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta, and Saiyami Kher in the lead roles.
Sharmajee Ki Beti explores the aspirations, dreams, and coming-of-age moments within a multigenerational narrative of quintessentially middle-class women from diverse backgrounds. Promising a rollercoaster of emotions and laughter, the trailer of the film immerses viewers into the lives of three remarkable women, all sharing the surname ‘Sharma,’ each navigating their own formidable and distinct challenges.
Jyoti, a middle-class marvel, strives to balance her career with her responsibilities as a wife and mother. Kiran, a vivacious homemaker, finds her world turned upside down after relocating from Patiala to Mumbai, yet this move helps her discover her true self. Tanvi, a young cricket sensation who effortlessly hits sixes on the field, struggles to convince her boyfriend that her ambitions extend beyond marriage.
Additionally, the trailer provides a brief glimpse into the lives of two teenage Sharma girls navigating the challenges of growing up—from the mysteries of menstruation to self-discovery.
Talking about the film, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, the writer and director of the movie, shared, “Sharmajee Ki Beti is a dream come true for me. The film is special to me not only because it marks my directorial debut, but also because it has provided me with an opportunity to explore a subject very close to my heart – women’s empowerment. The light-hearted, comical narrative highlights the everyday struggles, triumphs, and diverse experiences of middle-class women. Each character reflects a part of my own journey, making it deeply personal.”
Sakshi Tanwar, who brings Jyoti Sharma to life in the film, also added, “My character, Jyoti, mirrors the lives of millions of women around the world, striving to balance societal expectations with their own dreams and aspirations. Although she has a wonderfully supportive partner who believes in her dreams, she struggles with the tantrums and expectations of her teenage daughter. I believe audiences, not just women, in India and around the world will love the humorous and relatable take on important issues like gender roles, relationships, and personal identity. The sensitive portrayal of these themes will strike a chord with everyone.”
Divya Dutta, who plays Kiran Sharma in the film also called Tahira Kashyap’s directorial a “refreshing narrative”. “When I read the script, I fell in love with my character, Kiran and the beautiful vulnerability it had. She appears to be quite flighty by nature, but there’s an undercurrent of strong emotions due to the circumstances she faces in her personal life,” she said.
Saiyami Kher also called working on Sharmajee Ki Beti a “very special journey” and said, “It was such a fresh feel-good feeling after the narration. Tanvi’s role was a liberating reminder that everyone must follow their dreams and passions and not get bogged down by societal pressure. Through Tanvi’s story, the film highlights how many of us navigate similar struggles, constantly balancing personal aspirations with societal expectations.”
Sharmajee Ki Beti will premiere on Prime Video on June 28, 2024.
