Ameena is an Indian Hindi-language drama action thriller film directed by Kumar Raj and starring Rekha Rana and Anant Mahadevan. The film was released on 12 April 2024, coinciding with Eid. [3]
Ameena explores the parallel lives of two teenagers from different eras – Ameena from 32 years ago, and Meena, a contemporary young woman. Both characters face similar life challenges, yet their responses diverge significantly. [4] Meena, an actress, portrays Ameena in a play titled "Yahan Ameena Bikti Hai" at Prithvi theatre. The play offers a profoundly moving portrayal of Ameena, a young woman whose story takes a tragic turn when her parents sell her to an elderly Arab man. The narrative takes a dark turn when Meena, after performing in the play, encounters a similar fate as Ameena. [5]
The film explores the intricacies of justice, societal conventions, and the indomitable resilience inherent in the human spirit. It raises critical questions about the treatment of women and the pursuit of justice in the face of adversity. [6]
The film was directed by Kumar Raj, with the story and dialogues written by Aftab Hasnain and Dr. Prof. Kishan Pawar. The film was produced by Kumar Raj, while Dharm served as the co-producer. Cinematography was done by David Basu, Dwarika Mishra (Ajay), and editing by Chandrashekhar Prajapati, Ajay Verma, Himadri Bhattacharya and Bhupendra Singh.[ citation needed ]
