Girls Will Be Girls
Shuchi Talati’s Girls Will Be Girls is a thrilling depiction of 16-year-old Mira’s (Preeti Panigrahi) journey to maturity as a teenager in India, illustrating the complexity of emotions that arise as individuals navigate love, desire, and identity. We watch as Mira explores her newfound sexual desires with Sri, a boy from her conservative boarding school, who encourages her to think beyond the strict rules and traditions that are enforced. Tensions rise when Mira brings Sri home and finds herself competing with her overbearing mother for his attention, creating a bizarre yet captivating love triangle of sorts. Invoking both thrill and embarrassment along the way, Girls Will Be Girls reminds us that coming of age is for everyone who is young at heart.
