ABOUT THE FILM
Love Sonia is a 2018 Indian drama film directed by Tabrez Noorani and produced by David Womark. The film is the harrowing account of two sisters robbed of their innocence when one is sold by her debt-ridden father, and the other follows after her in the hope of rescuing her but becomes trapped in the sex trade herself. While on the troublesome and challenging journey that takes us through the red light areas of Mumbai, the latent innocence in the younger sister and the grit to rescue her sister and eventually herself stays intact.
