✔ Introduction
Hello Dear Friends, I hope you are doing good and are having a good time on bitlanders. Today I am here with my another new blog with the title of "Indian Movie Review - Secret Superstar". In this blog, I shall review a new Bollywood Hit movie "Secret Superstar". This movie is about a girl who is passionate about her singing and wants to excel in a musical career. However, she belongs to a reserved Muslim family and her father is very strict and harsh on all the family members, therefore, she has to work hard and stay safe in order to pursue her dreams. This girl is just like any other teenage girl who have just got to know the world slowly and has so many dreams in her eyes to fulfill. In this age, all of the boys and girls have a new kind of energy and they want to do something new. This movie also pays tribute to the relationship of a mother who supports her daughter and encourages her to do whatever she wants to do. This mother is also having a hard time dealing with her husband who is often abusive and has no mercy on the family. This film has been directed by Advait Chandan (who is a new Director in the Bollywood Film Industry) and produced by Aamir Khan who is a famous Bollywood Star and a Producer.

Insia's song under her cover name of "Secret Superstar" becomes an instant hit and is liked by many on the social media. She becomes a new music sensation in no time and gets the attention of a famous music star Shakti Kumar who understands and recognizes the talent of Insia and tries to contact her. When Insia comes to know that Shakti Kumar wants her to sing for her, she refuses because Shakti Kumar has a bad reputation as a rude and rebellion nature in the music industry. On one eventful day, her father breaks her guitar and punished her because Insia was unable to get higher score in her test at school.
