Overview

• Writer-director Aranya Sahay centers the story on Nehma, an Oraon Adivasi data labeller in Jharkhand confronting biased AI outputs.
• The 74-minute feature opens at Cinepolis Andheri on 5 September, with screenings announced from 12 September in Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram.
• Festival credentials include MAMI and Cinevesture screenings, the FIPRESCI India award, and backing from executive producers Kiran Rao and Biju Toppo, with a planned Delhi stop at the Jagran Film Festival.
• Reviews commend Sonal Madhushankar’s performance and the film’s intimate mother–daughter focus, while finding its exploration of AI ethics less exhaustive.
