JALEBI

Shot in Los Angeles, Jalebi is a cinematic exploration of identity, tradition, and the chaotic beauty of modern Indian families. The film follows Anya, an independent and successful lawyer who has reached a breaking point in her personal life. When she decides to call off her engagement, she expects a clean break. Instead, her decision ignites a whirlwind of comedy and drama within her traditional Indian family, turning her personal liberation into a collective family affair. The film captures the friction between western professional independence and eastern familial expectations. Anya represents the modern diaspora, highly capable in the courtroom but finding herself “on trial” within her own living room.
