Description

Three modern young women in India have everything they need to realize their dreams and careers but are facing pressure to get married. Dipti, Amrita and Ritu open up about their thoughts on tradition and arranged marriage, giving voice to a new generation challenging conventions and paving a new future for their society. With culture at a crossroads in Urban centers Mumbai and New Delhi, A Suitable Girl captures India in a moment of transition and evolution. How will these women strike a balance between the tradition they respect and the lives they want? Featuring a beautiful musical score from Gingger Shankar.

Directors Sarita Khurana and Smriti Mundhra will participate in post-screening Q&As.
