Give It A Shot

India | English, Hindi, Bengali | 2026 | 93 mins | Dir. Vaishali Sinha

GIVE IT A SHOT is a tender, quietly humorous portrait of Dr. Sujoy K. Guha, a visionary whose 1970s quest to develop a reversible male contraceptive set out to redefine reproductive responsibility forever.

Decades later, his groundbreaking work continues to echo, inspiring a new generation of scientists, startups, and activists determined to bring his invention to the global stage. Director Vaishali Sinha takes us on a high-stakes, deeply human journey where science meets stubborn persistence, challenging long-held norms about who carries the burden of family planning.

At its heart, Give It A Shot reframes the conversation around reproductive rights by centering an often-overlooked perspective: the role of men in a shared, radically equal future. It is a film filled with warmth, curiosity, and the hope that accountability can finally become a collective act.
