Mumbai, February 21, 2025.
Filmmaker Shonali Bose’s web series “Ziddi Girls” is at the centre of a row with students and the principal of Delhi University’s Miranda House saying the trailer tarnishes the image of the college and the makers responding with a disclaimer that it is a “work of fiction”.
The Prime Video fictional series is set in a Delhi college, Matilda House, and is referred to as MH, the very acronym often used for Miranda House, a premier institution for women students. The show revolves around the lives of five students in search of their identity.
The trailer, which dropped earlier this week, had students and authorities up in arms with the principal writing to the filmmakers, and the Miranda House Students Union and the Delhi University Students Union following up with their objections.
