MUMBAI: Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, in association with Codeblack Entertainment, will release the romantically charged comedy, Politics Of Love, on the Video on Demand (VoD) platform beginning 1 September.
The platform provides film properties with a unique means to attract massive viewing in more than 100 million homes. The film will be in the VoD space for a two-week window before the DVD releases on 20 September.
As the U.S. election campaigns get underway, Politics Of Love is a whimsical reminder of the historic 2008 season in which Barack Obama and John McCain faced off in a heated battle for the hearts and minds of America.
The film has Mallika Sherawat essay the role of Aretha Gupta, an Indian- American woman who returns home to work in her parents’ restaurant after a career disappointment, only to find herself caught up in the fervour of a local Obama campaign.
A staunch Democrat, she finds herself falling for handsome campaign manager Kyle Franklin with just as much passion for the election as she does. The catch? He is the leader of the local Republican Party. As she reconciles her beliefs with her heart, the social and cultural debate rages around her and her family.
The film also features Ruby Dee and Loretta Devine as Arethaa‘s loving and outspoken step-mother and grandmother.
