Wonder Women trailer: Parvathy, Nithya Menen power Anjali Menon’s film about sisterhood of expecting mothers

Bangalore Days and Koode filmmaker Anjali Menon’s next directorial promises to be a special one. The makers of the film, Wonder Women, revealed the film’s trailer as well as announced its release date on Thursday and it’s sure to delight fans of the filmmaker as well as its all-star cast featuring Parvathy Thiruvothu, Nithya Menen, Nadiya Moidu, Padmapriya, Archana Padmini, Sayanora and Amruta Subhash.

The film, which will be a straight OTT release on Sony LIV, revolves around six expectant mothers who arrive at a pre-natal class with confusion and questions regarding pregnancy and childbirth. During the week-long class, they discover themselves as well as solutions to their problems through each other’s support.

The movie has Nadiya essaying the role of the organizer Nandita, while Sayanora, Parvathy, Nithya, Padmapriya, Archana and Amruta play Saya, Mini, Nora, Veni, Gracy and Jaya, respectively. The trailer hints that all six women are from different walks of life and face different challenges as they prepare to enter parenthood.

In a press statement from Sony LIV, Anjali, who has also scripted the movie, said, “I have discovered from experience that sisterhoods can empower us individually and collectively.” She said that through Wonder Women, she wants to showcase how the characters deal with life in their quirky and feisty ways, and how pregnancy pushes them to grow as people.

The director also said that the characters are ordinary women who will resonate with the audience. This mirrors the statement of Nadiya’s character in the trailer where she addresses the group of pregnant women as “superheroes, bringing a baby to life”.

The film will be released on the OTT platform on November 18 and will be available in English with smatterings of Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. The film is produced by RSVP Flying Unicorn along with Anjali’s Little Films Productions.
