A Narrative That’s Captured Critics Worldwide
Directed by the visionary Sean Baker, ‘Anora’ chronicles the compelling journey of a 23-year-old Brooklyn sex worker who unexpectedly finds herself marrying into a life of affluence, only to face the challenges posed by her new in-laws.

Before securing its place on JioHotstar, ‘Anora’ had already gathered prestigious awards, such as winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024. This, along with nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay, highlights its finesse in storytelling and compelling performances.
A Star-Studded Cast Adding Depth to the Story
Alongside Mikey Madison, the cast features an array of talented actors such as Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, and Aleksei Serebryakov, each contributing to the film’s magnetic appeal. Their performances elevate the narrative, making it more than just a cinematic experience.
Overcoming Barriers for an OTT Premiere
