Village Rockstars (2017)

Written & directed by Rima Das this film stars a group of non actors from the director's home village. A young girl from a rural Indian village dreams of being a rockstar.

Verging on being a documentary thanks to the use of non actors this is a gentle coming of age film. Much of the content of the film is familiar but the setting and way the story is told have plenty of charm. I loved the atmosphere of the film which really captures life in a very pure way.
