Love Sonia

Love Sonia is a 2018 Indian film directed by Tabrez Noorani and produced by David Womark. The film features newcomer Mrunal Thakur as the title character along with Riya Sisodiya, Freida Pinto, Demi Moore, Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadda, Anupam Kher, Adil Hussain, Rajkummar Rao, and Sai Tamhankar.
Love Sonia tells the heartfelt and brave story of Sonia (Mrunal Thakur), a young Indian Village girl whose life irrevocably changes when she is entrapped into the vicious global sex trade network. Director Tabrez Nooraani’s drama, Love Sonia, opens with a group of school children observing a butterfly trapped in a glass jar. Noorani does not waste time dwelling on this innocence and playfulness. The lyrical scene, with its obvious metaphor, is a preamble to a story about the sex trade and human trafficking. It is quickly left behind to focus on the plight of a debt-ridden farmer and his daughters. Adil Hussain plays the burdened farmer with barren fields and two teenaged daughters. The fair and frail older child, Preeti (Riya Sisodia), is sold off to the local landlord and moneylender (Anupam Kher), while the younger, stronger girl Sonia (Mrunal Thakur) is held back to help in the arid fields. Preeti is placed in the care of a handler Anjali (Sai Tamhankar) who whisks her off to Mumbai where she will be put “to work”. A distraught Sonia, unable to bear the separation from her sister, runs away from home straight to the moneylender and right into the grimy lanes of Mumbai. Anjali presents Sonia to brothel owner Faizal (Manoj Bajpayee) and to the ‘madam’ Madhuri (Richa Chadha), who begin inducting Sonia into their fold, all the while promising to help find Preeti. Within the seamy streets and dark world of sex, drugs, violence and exploitation, Sonia encounters myriad characters. These include fellow sex workers like Rashmi (Freida Pinto) who are irreparably damaged and resigned to their fate. She also meets a kind social worker Manish (Rajkummar Rao) and other under-age girls, such as herself, who are sold into prostitution.
The film has Mrunal Thakur as Sonia, Freida Pinto as Rashmi, Demi Moore as Selma, Mark Duplass, Manoj Bajpayee as Faizal, Rajkummar Rao as Manish, Richa Chadda as Madhuri, Riya Sisodiya as Preeti, Anupam Kher as Baldev Singh, Adil Hussain as Shiva, Sai Tamhankar as Anjali and Sunny Pawar as Bang Bang.

Neelkanth serves food and is the caretaker of the most dangerous prisoners of that Jail. He is soft hearted and has never raised his voice or hurt anyone in spite of being in Police. Anu has got engaged and her wedding date has been fixed and Neelkanth is all out to bid her farewell most lovingly, taking care of her smallest whims and fancies. Anu stubbornly requests him to take her to the town fare as she could freely roam around and purchase what she wanted at least once before getting married. Neelkanth humours her but a Naxalite group attacks the village fare and Anu loses her life in the hustle. Neelkanth and Jyoti actually become hopeless and as if lifeless as their small happy world crashes with Anu's demise. After a lot of counseling by well-wishers, Neelkanth joins back his duty in the Jail. He is shocked and his turmoil begins when he, not only comes across Padam, the Naxalite who killed Anu, but he has to feed him too everyday. It is a great challenge for him to control his anger and anguish while feeding the devil himself. He curtails his fatherly instincts to avenge Anu's death and allows his sense of duty to win for a while. Padam also knows that he had killed Neelkanth's daughter. When his wife Jyoti comes to know that he is feeding Anu's killer, she gets into a rage and almost abandon's him. The story takes a harsh turn....who is more KATHOR? We will need to find out at the theatres.
