The Film Debuts on Digital for North American VOD Platforms and DVD on May 28, 2024
Female-Driven South Asian Sci-Fi Thriller Gets Digital Debut and DVD on May 28
Los Angeles, CA (May 3, 2024). Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired North American VOD rights to the female-driven sci-fi thriller feature RANI RANI RANI, which will be available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting on May 28, 2024, through Freestyle Digital Media.
Sidestepping mystical and spiritual influences while reveling in a science fiction world. The film follows Rani, the caretaker at an abandoned factory, in an almost-abandoned Indian village. It’s just an ordinary day for Rani — trapped in a struggle for survival between a feckless husband on one hand, and her husband’s brother and ruthless sister-in-law on the other.
But when Rani happens upon a group of opportunists seeking to prove the efficacy of their mysteriously-acquired mechanical device to a potential buyer, her fortunes seem set to change. All these opportunists are looking for is a volunteer, a test subject, and for a small sum of cash Rani is lured into their machine. While Rani emerges seemingly unscathed, a violent turn of events makes her realize that changing the trajectory of her life might just be a matter of a second chance, or a third, or maybe just a little more time.
The Official Trailer
Written, directed, and produced by Rajaram Rajendran, the film features an ensemble cast that includes Tannishtha Chatterjee (‘Rani’), Asif Basra (‘Manoj’), Danny Sura (‘Chris’), Alexx O’Nell (‘John’), and Abid Anwar (‘Krishna’).
The film is the result of a brilliant cast and a talented crew putting their faith into a genre that’s not the most popular in South Asia, says filmmaker Rajaram Rajendran “We’re proud of how it turned out, having overcome the restrictions and limitations of an indie film. We hope the viewers truly enjoy this time-travel thriller.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire RANI RANI RANI directly with Ryan Bury of MPX-Motion Picture Exchange.
