On September 8th, the film will be available for streaming on SonyLiv. Commenting on the film, National Award-winning filmmaker, Kaushik Ganguly said, “Lokkhi Chhele is an important and special film for me. The story germinated in my mind when I read about the eight-limbed girl, Lakshmi Tatma, from Bihar, and accounts of other children who have fallen prey to superstitions. The film aims to address and question the blind faith that is plaguing our society at its core. Audiences and critics alike have showered a lot of love and appreciation for the film and now, I am truly excited about its digital premiere on Sony LIV. With the growing popularity and reach of OTT platforms, I couldn't have asked for a better stage than Sony LIV for Lokkhi Chhele.”
