Draupadi Unleashed shows the struggle for a young woman between entering an arranged marriage or follow true love with her heart.

Based on the novel by Nisha Sabharwal, the film stars Salena Qureshi (Netflix’s The Society), Dominic Rains (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Anna George (The Lovely Bones), Melanie Chandra (Code Black), and Azita Ghanizada (Complete Unknown). The film marks the directorial debut for Tony Stopperan, an Emmy Award-winning producer and writer.

Here’s the full-length synopsis:

Draupadi Unleashed is the story of a young girl’s coming of age, set against the background of the struggle of three generations of women in a male-dominated world of 1930’s British India. A romantic mystery rooted in mysticism that centers on sixteen-year-old Indira who finds herself torn between love and the duty to follow through with an arranged marriage and the manipulations of her powerful guru.

Through her heartbreaking journey to self-discovery, long-held secrets are brought to light, and Indira discovers the strength within herself to break free.

Featuring a female-centric cast, the film is Hollywood’s first-look into the sophisticated, affluent aristocratic India.

Draupadi Unleashed releases on March 20 in select theaters, including New York City’s AMC Empire, before expanding into additional markets.

More Indian-focused films made their way into American cinema in recent years. Although the films are not Bollywood-style, dramatic films about Indian life and cast can easily capture the hearts and minds of American audiences. No doubt that I’ll be putting this movie on my watch list.
