Trailer of SKATER GIRL |
OTT platforms are gaining ground in India as COVID-19 continues and people are confined to homes with curfews in most areas. On 16 May, Netflix released the trailer of its latest Bollywood bonanza, a film called SKATER GIRL. The flick`s plot is about a girl choosing between society`s expectations and her own dreams. Set in a remote village in the Indian state of Rajasthan, SKATER GIRL follows Prerna, a local teen living a life bound by tradition and duty to her parents. When London-bred advertising executive Jessica (Amy Maghera) arrives in the village, Prerna and the other local children are introduced to an exciting new adventure thanks to Jessica and her old friend (Jonathan Readwin) who cruises into town on a skateboard. This leaves Prerna with a difficult choice between conforming to society`s expectations of her and living out her dream of competing in the National Skateboarding Championship. The film touted to be India`s first movie on skateboarding is penned and directed by Manjar, daughter of late Bollywood actor Mac Mohan, and her sister, Vinati Makijany, who also serves as the producer. Los Angeles-based Manjari has directed three short films and worked as an assistant director with filmmakers Christopher Nolan, Patty Jenkins, and Vishal Bharadwaj on films “Dunkirk”, “Wonder Woman” and “Saat Khoon Maaf”, respectively.
