Amazon miniTV’s upcoming short film Dhavak (2022) has an unusually funny subject. It tells the story of a bronze medallist runner Sudha Singh, played by Srishti Shrivastava, who puts out a declaration that she will marry the man who defeats her in a race. Produced and directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film also star Vaibhav Talwar

“With Dhavak we wanted everyone to experience a commercial film which is honest and yet empowers people to dream,” Sharma said in a statement. “Dhavak’s story will not just entertain our audience with all the quirks of a mainstream film but leave people enquiring about their own deep-seated conditionings. Through Dhavak we aim to inspire millions of girls across the nation to also identify and unapologetically race through their hurdles, both literally and metaphorically.”
