Gomez' tale on 'Broken Hearts' going to Indian theatres

'The Broken Hearts Gallery', a rom-com executive-produced by Selena Gomez, is scheduled to obtain a theatrical release in India on November 20. The film stars Geraldine Viswanathan, who traces her roots to India. The romantic comedy follows Lucy Geraldine, a 20-something art gallery assistant living in NEW YORK, who also happens to be an emotional hoarder.

After she gets dumped by her boyfriend, Lucy is inspired to create The Broken Heart Gallery, a pop-up space for items from previous relationships. The film marks the directorial debut of Natalie Krinsky. In addition, it stars Dacre Montgomery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Molly Gordon, Phillipa Soo and Bernadette Peters. "I was taken by Lucy, who's unapologetically herself and feels thoughts so strongly, fully, and loudly.

I found that basically inspiring because it's difficult to do that," Viswanathan had reportedly told elle.com some time back. "I think there are a great number of elements of ourselves we suppress to keep moving socially, and she just doesn't do this. She actually is so herself, and that basically inspires the persons around her to be themselves. She has this very hyper-feminine strength and bravery. I love those people who can just socialize wherever each goes [and be] so open and free," she added.
