‘Drishyam Films’ unveils the first look of ‘Siya’

Drishyam Films has delivered several hit movies such as ‘Newton’, which was India’s official entry for the Oscars; ‘Masaan’, the winner of two Cannes Film Festival awards and ‘Ankhon Dekhi’, the opening film at the 8th annual ‘Mosaic International South Asian Film Festival’ (MISAFF).

Now, ‘Drishyam Films’ is all set to bring to the audiences another hard-hitting human story of India, ‘Siya’. Starring breakthrough talents like Pooja Pandey and Vineet Kumar Singh, the film tells the tale of a small-town girl who despite all hurdles, decides to fight the oppressive patriarchy and takes off on a quest for justice.

Directed by corporate bigwig turned producer Manish Mundra, the makers of ‘Siya’ have launched the first-look poster of the film. Reflecting the cocktail of emotions a victim undergoes from fear, anger, pain and helplessness, the poster of ‘Siya’ is a reflection of the hard-hitting, gritty drama that’s guaranteed to generate social conversations.

Director Manish Mundra said, “‘Siya’ sheds light on the hypocrisy behind the crimes countless women endure. The numbers of these crimes are staggering and only seem to be growing with every passing day. We hope to empower women to stand up and speak out with this film. ‘Drishyam

Films’ has always backed cinema that has a notable talking point and sends a message to filmgoers and ‘Siya’ too will follow suit. We hope that the audience will understand the relevance of our film and will speak out on the same.”

“This role and character honestly take a lot out of you emotionally and physically. I was moved by the script and just knew this story deserved to be told,” said Pooja Pandey.

Directed by Manish Mundra, the film will release nationwide on September 16, 2022.*
