Yesterday, Netflix announced that there will 17 originals including films and web series that will be streamed on their platform. One of the films that we will get to see on Netflix is Bhumi Pednekar and Konkona Sen Sharma starrer Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare.

The movie was initially slated to hit the big screens, but due to the pandemic, the makers have now decided to release it on Netflix. Recently, while talking about the film’s direct-to-digital release, Bhumi said, “As an artist, I only look to entertain audiences every time I come on screen and I’m ok with any platform becoming the vehicle of my creative expression. At this day and age, producers will do what is needed and we must all support each other’s decisions. We all need to run our own ego systems and I support the decision of my producers wholeheartedly. I feel our film will reach out to a much, much larger audience with this move.”

Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare has received a positive response at film festivals and Bhumi had also won Best Actress Award at Busan International Film Festival. Well, the actress is confident that the audience will like the film once it premieres on Netflix.

She said, “Our film has been winning laurels at international film festivals. We’ve garnered such love and respect for it. I won awards at international platforms for Dolly Kitty and I’m sure it will be liked by audiences here as well. I’m looking forward to see how people react. It was refreshing to play a girl, fresh out of college, waiting to experience life. Our coming of age is done in a fun yet relatable manner. Kitty is a naive, sweet, ambitious, and a survivor. The film is full of quirks and a pool of emotions. It has a different narrative and I am excited. It celebrates womanhood, sisterhood, and all the drama that comes in between love and work. It very skilfully shows just how complex yet beautiful women are.”

Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare is directed by Alankrita Shrivastava and produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor.
