After receiving standing ovations and awards at the London and Melbourne film festivals, debutant director and Mumbai boy Tabrez Noorani’s film Love Sonia will be released in China in October after its India release this 14th September.Traditionally, for Hindi films to release in China had to wait for their release in India; there is then a long process for approval. The entire process can take 12-18 months however, Love Sonia has been excluded from these formalities in fact distributors from across China after watching the reactions of the audiences at the screenings in London and the strong media buzz have bought the rights for theatrical release in China even before the release in India. Films from India like Dangal with strong female characters fighting against the odds have done very well in China and the distributors from China feel that Love Sonia’s inspiring story of a 17 year old who takes on the world of human trafficking to save her sister will resonate with the Chinese audiences.Films which thematically deal with family and a strong women character have done wonders at the box office; it truly is an exceptional achievement for the makers of Love Sonia that this new development has put this powerful film out of India on the world stage.
