Daughters of the Pink City
Details
Sixteen-year-old Deepa has always felt the weight of her family’s expectations. After her mother’s sudden disappearance, she and her younger brother Avi are sent to live with their strict grandparents in Jaipur, where tradition reigns and freedom is scarce. But Deepa’s world changes when she discovers kathak, a mesmerizing and ancient dance form that offers her a glimpse of liberation—and a connection to her mother’s mysterious past.
Secretly learning kathak from a courtesan, Deepa risks everything to pursue her passion, defying her family’s rules and the rigid societal norms that confine her. As she loses herself in the rhythm of the dance, she begins to uncover long-buried family secrets: whispers of forbidden love, betrayal, and a legacy of resilience passed down through generations of women.
But when her lessons are discovered, Deepa must make an impossible choice: follow the path laid out for her or fight for the life—and the art—that sets her soul on fire.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of colonial India, this is a story of art, rebellion, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters.
