![]() ![]() She’s ripped from her arboreal abode when a young man with an unlucky love life - Kanan (Suraj Sharma) - marries her tree in an effort to improve his luck before marrying his childhood sweetheart, Anu (Mehreen Pirzada). Sharma plays a ghost named Shashi, whose spirit has been trapped in a tree since her death many years ago. As with Clean Slate’s first movie, the excellent 2015 revenge thriller NH10, Sharma stars in Phillauri in a role that explicitly addresses gender issues in a progressive way. Phillauri is the second movie by Clean Slate Films, a production house run by actress Anushka Sharma and her brother, Karnesh. This film is the product of an actress taking control of her career, in effect saying to the industry, “This is the caliber of movie I think the audience wants and the type of quality role female performers deserve.” It’s a powerful statement packaged within a fun, touching romantic-comedy. There’s so much to love about Phillauri on its own merits, but it also represents something important within the Hindi-film industry. ![]()
