Cool Ladies Club: Mumbai Women Rewriting Their Story

Ten Mumbai women, new to filmmaking, co-directed a raw, powerful documentary called Cool Ladies Club, using smartphones to tell their own stories under filmmaker Shilpi Gulati’s guidance. Born from a campaign for safe toilets, the film celebrates their fearless joy and resistance against stereotypes — with one director dancing Bollywood-style while cooking, her family cheering at premiere. Paid fairly and sharing copyright, they’re now taking their voices global with festival submissions — proving that being “cool” means owning your joy.
