Varsha Bharath's Tamil film ‘Bad Girl’ won the prestigious NETPAC Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam on Feb. 7, marking a significant achievement in her career.
The jury, consisting of Mevlut Akkaya, Rainbow Fong, and Rüdiger Tomczac, reviewed 15 films to choose a winner.
“The film that we have chosen unfolds a coming-of-age story in a provocative way; it is cinematic and playful, with unexpected narrative solutions. The director employs a moody and vivid visual style to take us through the joys, worries, struggles, and emotions of the character’s transformation,” said the jury.
The NETPAC Award, presented by the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema, recognizes outstanding films from Asian and Pacific regions, particularly those that showcase unique storytelling and innovative filmmaking. The award celebrates films that challenge cultural norms and provoke thought.
Bharath’s film features a talented cast, including Anjali Sivaraman, Shanthi Priya, Hridhu Haroon, TeeJay Arunasalam, and Sashank Bommireddipalli.
The film follows a young woman from a Brahmin background who challenges societal and cultural norms to assert her independence. It explores themes of identity, rebellion, and self-expression, as the protagonist navigates the clash between tradition and modernity.
