Reflecting on the movie,
Zoya Akhtar said, “It’s so disturbing that this
kind of behavior towards women exists. It makes their lives in a workplace
hellish. This film makes you see how important it is to speak about these
issues and how important it is that we stand up for one another. Women need to
feel safe at work and whoever has a platform needs to shout that out. So thank
you Lionsgate for this bombshell.”
Rohit Jain, MD of Lionsgate South Asia

groundbreaking film. It brings to light a much-needed revolution in the
corporate and working spaces. We are glad to co-host the screening with Zoya

through their craft and we are grateful to them for lending their influential
voice to this extremely contextual issue which has global relevance and
impact.’’
