Big Girls Don’t Cry trailer: Pooja Bhatt-Avantika Vandanapu’s web show gives Mean Girls vibes but with a touch of wholesomeness

The trailer explores the relationships among the lead characters, evoking a ‘Mean Girls’ vibe when a student from a small town is mocked as having “full kanya vidyalaya vibes.” Friendships are tested, hostel life is depicted in full swing, and hearts are broken. Some characters grapple with their sexual identity, while others confront bullying from entitled peers. Amid the complexities of relationships and academic pressures, the girl gang discovers their true voices, questioning whether this is what growing up means.

The predominantly women-led ensemble cast also includes Pooja Bhatt, Raima Sen, and Zoya Hussain in pivotal roles, alongside Mukul Chadda. Previously, Ananya Panday introduced the star cast of Big Girls Don’t Cry through a fun video on Instagram. Interestingly, Avantika Vandanapu recently made ample headlines for bagging the role of the gullible Karen in the new film Mean Girls. Amanda Seyfried played the role of Karen in the original 2004 film.

Created by Nitya Mehra, the series is co-directed by Sudhanshu Saria, Karan Kapadia, and Kopal Naithani. It will release on Amazon Prime Video on March 14.
