The trailer of
Sonata, a new
women-centric film featuring Aparna Sen, Shabana Azmi and Lilette Dubey in lead roles, have taken the internet by storm. Twitter appears to be overtly fond with the trailer of
Sonata, with celebrities like Rishi Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna, Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar saying everything nice about it. "Here's to women power coming in a big way," wrote the
Kapoor And Sons actor, who has co-starred with Ms Azmi in films like
Tehzeeb and
Amar Akbar Antony. "Super actors! Super director! It's bound to be special," wrote Karan while Farhan said: "
Sonata looks refreshingly delightful with 3 stellar actors in top form."
The trailer of
Sonata features Aparna Sen, Shabana Azmi and Lilette Dubey as three friends, each with their signature characteristics which distinctly separate one from the other. Ms Azmi is the outspoken, free-spirited of the lot and says: "I sway through life with abandon." Ms Sen, who appears to have a reflective outlook towards like, is more naive. "Not so loud, someone might hear you," she tells Ms Azmi's character. Meanwhile, Ms Dubey tries to conceal her abusive relationship with the words: "I like to smell like my man."
The trailer ends with a realisation, which dawns upon the three friends, and they say: "What aweful creatures we are. No commitment, no aim, no ideology. We are not even feminists."
