Armeen Musa's music is being featured for the first time in a Hindi Language film with Widow’s Shadow (2025) by Suman Adhikary, marking a cross-border collaboration in South Asian cinema. The collaboration brings her experimental style and unique musical texture to a new cinematic audience.
Suman Adhikary's most recent work, "Widow's Shadow," is a poignant film set in Udaipur, Rajasthan, that delves into themes of caste discrimination and LGBT rights in modern India. The narrative follows a young widow who, facing social exclusion, finds an unexpected ally in a member of the LGBT community. The film features performances by Sankalitaa Roy and Palak Kayath, and the rest of the soundtrack includes songs by renowned vocalists Shubha Mudgal, Richa Sharma and Kavita Seth. "Widow's Shadow" is releasing in India on 18th April 2025.
Adhikary's journey from Kolkata to the broader Indian film industry exemplifies his dedication to addressing societal issues through cinema, solidifying his reputation as a significant figure in contemporary filmmaking.
