Village Rockstars
Drama | PG | 87 min.
"Village Rockstars is confident and sincere, its story unfolding at a languid but controlled pace." – Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
"Village Rockstars is heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure." - Renuka Vyavahare, The Times of India
"The atmosphere of Village Rockstars is so real that it almost feels like a documentary. Rim Das' direction is the opposite of fussy, allowing the characters and their actions to breathe on screen in a way that speaks to her affection for the subject." – I Hurtado, ScreenAnarchy
In a small village in northeast India, 10-year-old Dhunu dreams of having her own rock band. Her vibrant spirit, imagination and self-assurance stand out in a world where girls are expected to be timid and submissive. With her gang of boys and the support of her widowed mother, Dhunu faces the struggles of her daily life and hopes for the day she can finally play on a real guitar.
