What is Tribhanga you may wonder? It is an Odissi dance pose that is asymmetrical, yet mesmerising much like the lives of the three female characters in Renuka Shahane’s upcoming film Tribhanga: Tedhi Medhi Crazy. Netflix today released the trailer of this intergenerational family drama about three distinct women, essayed by Tanvi Azmi, Kajol and Mithila Palkar, and their unconventional life choices.
Written and directed by Renuka Shahane, the film takes an autobiographical route moving across timelines to delve into the dysfunctional and related lives of the matriarch Nayan, a critically acclaimed Marathi litterateur played by Tanvi Azmi; her daughter Anu, a renowned classical dancer and actress portrayed by Kajol; and granddaughter Masha brought to life by Mithila Palkar. This complex family drama of human failings and flaws is set to release worldwide on January 15, 2021 on Netflix. The film also features a stellar ensemble cast that includes Kunaal Roy Kapur, Kanwaljeet Singh, Manav Gohil and Vaibhav Tatwawaadi.
Writer and Director Renuka Shahane sharing her thoughts on the inception of Tribhanga: Tedhi Medhi Crazy, said “Tribhanga, an Odissi dance pose that looks beautiful despite its asymmetry, is used as a metaphor to represent the women in this film who have their own quirks and idiosyncrasies, and yet are fascinating, beautiful and vibrant. I believe that women who make unconventional life choices and women with a wide range of personalities need to be represented in films. The idea for this film came from my experience of meeting someone who had a very acrimonious relationship with her mother, unlike my relationship with mine. I wanted to capture the dysfunctional family dynamics when the core, the relationship with the mother, is shaky and unstable. I added three different generations to better reflect the intergenerational perspective in looking at the same event in three different ways. I am extremely happy that I could bring this story to life with Netflix and a supremely talented team of actors. Can’t wait to see how the audience across the world reacts to it.”
