Secret Superstar (2017)

In the heart of India, 15-year-old Insia dreams of touching the skies with her angelic voice. Living under the oppressive weight of a conservative and abusive father, her passion for singing is a flickering flame kept alive in secret. Her mother, Najma, encourages her to participate in a music competition, the reward of which is a laptop and a year's worth of free internet. Farookh, her father, is a wall of resistance, making it impossible for Najma and Insia to approach him about the competition. In a world where the internet has brought the farthest corners closer, Najma gifts Insia a laptop, a window to countless souls connected through music. To protect Insia's identity from her father and the world, Najma suggests an ingenious plan – to let her voice reach out to the world, veiled under a burka. Embracing the anonymity, Insia steps into the virtual world, christening her alter ego as the 'Secret Superstar'. Her soul-stirring voice rapidly weaves its magic across the internet, making her an overnight sensation. Amidst her growing popularity, she catches the eye of Shakti Kumar, a talented yet brash music director. As the world around her changes, Insia's journey unfurls into a tale of courage, resilience, and an unyielding pursuit of her dream to become a singer. This poignant narrative encapsulates the struggle between tradition and passion, as Insia strives to break free from the shackles of her conservative upbringing and follow her heart's melody.
