Sezal Sharma has been a consistent presence at Cannes since 2016, each time attending not merely for the glamour of the red carpet, but with a film that reflects her dedication to storytelling and cinematic craft. From her debut appearance with Game Paisa Ladki in 2016, followed by Omaya in 2019, Parchaaiyaan in 2022, Being Alive in 2024, and now Dustbin in 2025 — every visit has been backed by a purpose: to present powerful narratives to a global audience.
Her latest venture Dustbin, a hard-hitting drama, delves into complex human emotions and societal realities. T he film explores themes of abandonment, redemption, and hope. The gripping screenplay and intense performances received a warm response from the audience and critics alike at the Bharat Pavilion screening.
Speaking at the launch, Sezal said, “Cannes has always been more than a red carpet moment for me. It’s a platform to share stories that matter. Dustbin is very close to my heart, and I am proud to bring it here with a meaningful purpose — to initiate conversations through cinema.”
With Dustbin, Sezal Sharma once again proves that her presence at Cannes is driven by her passion for impactful cinema — not glamour, but purpose. As she continues her journey, she stands as a testament to Indian talent and storytelling on the global stage.
