Summer of Our Lives
Logline
They were told to 'straighten-up' or leave home, off-beat Indian sisters Rumi & Nina decide to do just that - leave. To prove they’ve got what it takes they journey to London to make their mark on the capital's music scene. A summer of hope, love, betrayal and one they would never forget!

Summer of Our Lives offers a delightful contemporary mix of East-meets-West music, cultures, and cast. I hope to reflect themes of family, failures, and forgiveness in the visual style of the film. I’m particularly excited that both of the leads are female, which is rare in Indian Cinema.
