‘Dorothy’ Celebrity Screening: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Shweta Tripathi and Guneet Monga Reunite in Mumbai

A star-studded celebrity screening of Dorothy was held in Mumbai on September 23, 2026, bringing together several familiar faces from India’s independent film community. Among the most talked-about moments of the evening was the reunion of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Shweta Tripathi and Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga, who came together at the screening to show their support for the film. Their appearance instantly caught the attention of fans and photographers.

The reunion was particularly special for admirers of Haraamkhor, the acclaimed 2017 indie film that brought Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Shweta Tripathi and Guneet Monga together. The trio posed for the paparazzi at the event, creating a nostalgic moment for those who remember their collaboration on the earlier project. Their presence also added to the buzz surrounding Dorothy ahead of its theatrical release.

The Mumbai screening attracted several other actors, independent filmmakers and creators from the Hindi film industry. Snippets and uncut footage from the red carpet quickly made their way across entertainment platforms, giving audiences a glimpse of the evening. With a strong presence of names associated with independent cinema, the event reflected the growing curiosity around Dorothy and its distinctive storytelling.

Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Dorothy is an independent film produced by Guneet Monga Kapoor, Achin Jain and Jyoti Deshpande. The film stars Keerthy Suresh in the titular role, alongside Sananth and Rishikanth. Shot between November 2025 and March 2026, the film recently had its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11.

Set in the 1990s against the backdrop of caste-related violence, Dorothy revolves around the arrival of a woman named Dorothy and the impact she has on the lives of Karthi and Subbu, who share a deep bond as soul brothers. The story explores how one person's arrival can dramatically alter the lives and relationships around her, placing the characters against a socially charged period in India's history.

Following its Toronto premiere and the Mumbai celebrity screening, Dorothy is now set for its theatrical release on September 25, 2026. With Karthik Subbaraj at the helm, Keerthy Suresh in the central role and Guneet Monga backing the project, the film arrives with considerable interest from audiences who follow independent and festival cinema. The special screening also gave Dorothy a memorable pre-release moment, with the Haraamkhor reunion adding an extra dose of nostalgia to the evening.
