MUMBAI: Acclaimed filmmaker Halina Reijn’s highly anticipated erotic drama, Babygirl, starring Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, and Antonio Banderas, is set to release in Indian cinemas on February 21, 2025. With its bold and provocative storytelling, the film has captivated global audiences and is now being brought to Indian theatres by PVR INOX Pictures. It’s a bold opening salvo for a film, a statement of sorts: this film caters to the female desire.
Speaking about the film, director Halina Reijn shared,
“I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much, but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes.”
This perspective was equally transformative for Nicole Kidman, who described working on the film as a unique and immersive experience: “I’ve made many sexual films, but this is different. Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, that's directing it and is a really great actress herself — we became one in a weird way, which I'd never had with a director before. When you're working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”.
Babygirl is a visually stunning and deeply layered exploration of power, desire, and self-discovery, framed through a distinctly female gaze. Featuring a mesmerizing performance by Nicole Kidman, the film follows Romy, a high-powered CEO whose carefully controlled life unravels when she embarks on an unconventional and intoxicating affair with her much younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson.
As their dynamic shifts between control and surrender, Babygirl delves into the complexities of love, power, and the contradictions of female sexuality in a modern world.
Indian audiences can witness this bold and provocative cinematic experience in theatres from February 21, 2025.
