Filmmaking

Sanskruti Marathe takes immense joy in telling stories that dive into the extremes of human emotion—always with a sprinkle of humour and a distinctly cultural lens. Her debut film Papa Ki Pari was an official selection at the International Film Festival of South Asia (Toronto), and her upcoming short Jhalak (Glimpse)—now in post-production—continues her exploration of resilience, rhythm, and the messy beauty of being a Classical Dancer. 

Filmmaking: About

Papa Ki Pari explores the themes of being "Good Daughter" in South-Asian culture and focuses on expectations put on different generations of South-Asian Women through the mother- daughter relationship in the movie. It also reflects on how trauma manifests in our relationships and lingers through our bodies for years after the emotional rupture. Lastly, this movie attempts to sprinkle humor in the midst of extreme grief and confrontation.

This story explores grief and the aftermath of broken relationships with heart and humour—inviting everyone to see a reflection of their own family in it. I wanted to capture the psychology of conversations within traditional Indian families, where arguments spiral into resurrected memories and unspoken truths. Through comedy, I reveal how humour becomes a shield for generations of suppressed pain, and how the weight of patriarchy leaves lasting scars—especially on women trying to find their voice amid the silence.
