Taapsee Pannu, demonstrating a dedication to industry contribution and talent empowerment, launched Outsiders Films. Her production, ‘Dhak Dhak,’ featuring Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sanjana Sanghi, premiered last year, gaining immense appreciation on Netflix and earning a nomination at the prestigious Filmfare Awards. Despite being a smaller film, ‘Dhak Dhak’ stood tall among the blockbusters of the previous year. Praised for its narrative about four female bikers on a journey of self-discovery, claiming freedom, the film reflects the unwavering commitment of its creators and has become a dark horse in the industry.
Reflecting on this achievement, Taapsee Pannu expresses her pride, stating, “It’s heartening to see our small film stand its ground among the big blockbusters of the year. This is a testament to the sheer conviction of the writer, director, makers, and actors who believed that a film like this would find a place in people’s hearts. I’m proud of our little gem.” The success of ‘Dhak Dhak’ not only underscores the potential of impactful storytelling but also highlights the resilience and belief of the team in creating a film that resonates with the audience.
