Award winning actress Dipti Mehta gives another outstanding performance in the renowned short film Yaarta. She debuts all her talents as a lead actress, producer, writer, and director in this memorizing, raw, heart felt short film.
SEPT 21, 2013 – New York, N.Y. – Awarding winning actress Dipti Mehta leaves
audiences speechless in the highly celebrated short film Yaarta. This film is based on a true story of a woman named Priya from Mumbai, who becomes a victim of an arranged marriage. While, her husband gradually begins to accept her into his life, certain scenarios take a dramatic turn after spending a special night together. This story is a reminder to everyone who thinks money can buy happiness. Actress Dipti captures the emotional journey marvelously of Priya’s heart and plea of her soul.
In India’s society women loose their voice at an early age. Their lives are marred by what men want. What they wear, who they meet, what they say; men decide even what and how much they eat. Women are abused under the name of social norms, and social stigma.
The Film has been written and directed by Dipti Mehta alongside Erica Gould.
Dipti states “Most of us live our lives without realizing what is happening in the world. Yaatra is a jolt of awareness for people and a plea for justice for Priya and all those women who are victims of social norms. I am thankful to the entire team for believing in the spirit of the story and working as a team to make the film a reality.”
Yaarta is nominated for neuromas awards from World Music & Independent Film Festival (WMIFF) such as Best Screenplay in Short Film, Best Director in International Short Film, Best Actress International Short Film, Best Women Filmmaker, Best Southeast Asia Short Film, Best Director, and Best Short Film. Yaarta will be screened at Golden Door International Film Festival in Jersey City in October.
