The sparkling female stars of Alankrita Shrivastava’s “Dolly Kitty and Those Twinkling Stars,” produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, have plenty going on in their careers.has had a very brief career so far, but she has made each role count. She made her debut in 2015’s “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” as an overweight housewife dealing with an arranged marriage, and went on to star in 2017’s “Toilet – Ek Prem Katha” where she refuses to defecate in the fields and demands a toilet at home.
In “Dolly” which had its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival this week, she plays the titular Kitty, a small-town girl who finds freedom and its attendant pitfalls in the big city. “It is really gratifying when your films are appreciated critically as well because those are my sensibilities,” Pednekar told Variety. “I don’t want to do just commercial, senseless, work. I’ve always said that my films should leave behind a legacy.
Sen Sharma’s mother is the well-known director and actor Aparna Sen. “Since I was a kid, because my mum is a film director and often made films that are slightly alternative kind of content, I have always known it is very difficult to make films which are a little different or make people a little uncomfortable or people feel threatened so easily,” Sen Sharma told. In “Dolly Kitty” she plays a working wife and mother who is initially trapped in a patriarchal system.
