The movie tells the tale of a small-town girl who, despite all hurdles, decides to fight the oppressive patriarchy and goes on a quest for justice.
The makers of SIYA, directed by Manish Mundra, shared the poster of the film on Tuesday. The poster itself promises a hard-hitting social drama. Mundra explained in a statement that the film will explore the hypocrisy behind the crimes that women are forced to endure. He said, “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. We hope that the audience will understand the relevance of our film and will speak out on the same.”
