Don't Be Shy Alia Bhatt -produced comedy Don’t Be Shy lands on Prime Video this week, a coming-of-age tale that leans into the mess and melodrama of young romance.

Written and directed by Sreeti Mukerji, the Hindi film follows college student Shyamili "Shy" Das (Aarushi Bajaj), whose mapped-out life plans are thrown into chaos in an unexpected turn of events.

While she's trying to keep up the ruse of perfection, she meets Tara (Bianca Arora), and becomes romantically torn between her childhood friend Dhruv (Ansh Duggal) and popular rich boy Mayank (Piyush Khati).

But it takes significant energy to keep up appearances. — S.C.
