The makers of Masaan, Drishyam Films, is set to bring you another human story of India titled – SIYA.
The movie is directed by corporate leader-turned-film producer Manish Mundra.
Drishyam Filma has produced films like Masaan, winner of two Cannes Film Festival awards, Ankhon Dekhi, the opening film at the 8th annual Mosaic International South Asian Film Festival (MISAFF) and Newton, India’s official entry to the Oscars.
Siya is the first directorial venture by Manish who is responsible for acclaimed films like Masaan, Ankhon Dekhi and Newton.
SIYA takes the audiences through a story of a small town girl who, against all odds, decides to fight for justice and starts a movement against the vicious patriarchal system.
Bringing this cinematic experience to life, the banner has roped in breakthrough talents Pooja Pandey in and as SIYA and Rangbaaz’s Vineet Kumar Singh in lead roles.
Director Manish Mundra says, “Day after day, year after year, the cases of crime against women escalate. Siya, is an attempt to depict the abject inhumanity that powerless, innocent women are subjected to in a world that treats sex as taboo and yet women as sex objects.”
Pooja stated, “As a woman, this narrative to me felt like an important one. It’s a story that deserves to be told and one that echoes the sentiments of countless victims.”
Vineet Kumar Singh adds, “It takes a great deal of skill to walk the fine line between entertainment and impactful messaging. Drishyam Films takes a leap of faith here and aims to do just that with SIYA. The film is power-packed, hard-hitting and one that commands your attention.”
