The Virgins is a Hindi short film directed by Sandeep A. Varma starring Divyendu Sharma, Pia Bajpai and Akshay Oberoi. It is a take on the beliefs surrounding virginity in current India.
The filming took place in May 2016 in a small seaside town in Dahanu.
Fellow industry stars Kalki Koechlin and Imran Khan appreciated Varma and his film at the screening. Khan said, "The film was very enjoyable. It is actually on a very interesting subject. it is on a very relevant and a topical thing. The ones who have got married and the ones who have thought of getting married, I think that they will relate a lot to this film." Koechlin said, "I think it is a very interesting concept, the idea of 'The Virgins', people who are concerned about being a virgin or not being a virgin before marriage, we don't see that often explored in cinemas, so it's nice."[1]
