Their first project, internationally acclaimed short film Bittu’s trailer is out.
The official handle of Indian Women Rising released the trailer on social media.

Sparkles #ForYourConsideration @ektarkapoor @guneetm @tahira_k @RuchikaaKapoor #ShreyaDevDube #MaryEvangelista”
Written and directed by Karishma Dev Dube, based on true story, Bittu is a short film about a close friendship between two girls, eclipsed by an accident.
Set in the picturesque locations against the backdrop of Himalayas, Bittu follows the story of an eight-year-old who must take matters into her own hands when her community fails to protect its most vulnerable.
Indian Women Rising is proud to present a film made by an upcoming Indian filmmaker Karishma Dev Dube – BITTU, the recipient of the prestigious 47th Student Academy Award!
The Collective, helmed by Ekta Kapoor, Guneet Monga, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana and Ruchikaa Kapoor has come together to support this gem.
