Story: Anu (Kalpika Ganesh), Gayathri (Gayatri Gupta), Uma (Uma Lingaiah), Mohini (Khatera Hakimi) and Sarah (Nesa Farhedi) are vulnerable women whom society has done wrong. Destiny makes them hit the road from different parts of the country and meet at one obvious place – Goa. How all the women discover the meaning of life through their journey forms the tale.
Review: Numerous films have released that romanticise nomadic life and
Sita on the Road falls into the same category. However, the way director Praneeth treats sensitive subjects and fleshes out this motley crew of women is something that needs further discussion.
