First-time director Tabrez Noorani’s Love Sonia, which has generated a lot of buzz in Los Angeles and won accolades in London and Melbourne, is now set to open in Indian cinemas. The gritty film, starring Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadha, Rajkummar Rao, Sai Tamhankar, Adil Hussain, Demi Moore, Mark Duplass and Freida Pinto, marks the debut of television actress Mrunal Thakur. It tells the story of a 17-year-old girl, who risks her life to rescue her sister from a vicious human trafficking network. 

It not only received standing ovations globally for its explosive and shocking tale but also won the Best Indie Film Award at the recently-concluded Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2018.

Tabrez, who has also produced the social drama, says, “After the incredible audience reactions in London and Melbourne, I’m thrilled that our film is now releasing back home in India. I’m blessed with a talented ensemble cast and all of them have contributed to make it special.”

Producer David Womark (who also backed the Oscar-nominated Life Of Pi, 2012), adds, “I’m deeply thankful for the accolades we have received so far in London and Melbourne. Tabrez has made a powerful flick and I’m glad we are now bringing it to India.”

Calling Love Sonia ‘a brave and moving film’, Shalini Thackeray, who has worked on it as an executive producer along with Deepak Nayar and Pravesh Sahni, states, “I’m proud to be a part of this movie that talks about human trafficking in such a poignant manner and features a strong ensemble cast.” Co-producer Amar Butala sums up, “Love Sonia is a sincere and disturbing film on human trafficking. It’s a potent story that spans from India to Hong Kong all the way to Los Angeles.’’

Love Sonia, presented by Tamasha Talkies and Samraaj Talkies in association with India Take One Productions, Cinemantra & Dynasty Consulting Group, releases on September 14.
