Co-directed by Adam J Graves and Suchitra Mattai, Anuja faces competition from A Lien, I’m Not a Robot, The Last Ranger, and The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent.
The film tells the poignant story of nine-year-old Anuja, a bright young girl who must choose between continuing her education and working in a factory alongside her sister—a decision that will have profound implications for both their lives. The cast includes Sajda Pathan and Ananya Shanbhag.
