Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal’s debut film as producers, Girls Will Be Girls bagged two awards at Sundance Film Festival 2024. It won the Audience Award in the category of World Dramatic Entry, as well as the Special Jury Award for Lead actress Preeti Panigrahi. The film is written and directed by Shuchi Talati. It is a joint venture of Richa and Ali's production house Pushing Buttons Studios along with Blink Digital, Crawling Angel Films and Dolce Vita Films.
Speaking of this, director Shuchi said in a press release, “Directing Girls Will Be Girls was a deeply personal and rewarding experience. The film's success at Sundance is a testament to the collaborative efforts of a dedicated team. Richa has protected this story and film like a Lioness. It's heartening to see our story resonate with audiences and critics alike, and I hope it sparks important conversations about coming-of-age experiences that we don't often get to see on screen."
