PRIYA — India’s first female superhero has to protect her enchanted forest from greedy industrialists threatening to cut down all the trees. With the help of a little girl named Somya and the local villagers, they defend their home — reminiscent of India’s Chipko movement. Priya shows Somya, who is suffering from asthma due to the toxic haze — the beauty of her forest and its power to heal Mother Earth and her.

Life is joyful for childhood friends Sunil and Megha. Being teenagers is tough enough for both, but a hypnotic storm is brewing that can throw their innocent relationship into turmoil. The same swarm transforms Priya and her flying tiger Sahas into metallic beings and traps them in a digital maze. Can Priya the superhero confront the menace, and rescue Sunil, Megha and their friends from being consumed by the swarm?

PRIYA — India’s first female superhero, embarks on a mission to stop the spread of Covid-19. She befriends a little girl named Meena to show her the sacrifices made by frontline healthcare workers and instill the power of courage and compassion during this difficult time. Along with her tiger Sahas, Priya explains the importance of wearing a mask and working together to help end the pandemic around the world. She teams up with Pakistan’s female superhero, BURKA AVENGER, to foil her arch enemy from infecting her city with the potent virus.

Priya continues her adventures with her flying tiger, Sahas. She returns home and discovers all the young women have disappeared in her rural village including her sister, Laxmi. She discovers they were taken to an underground brothel city called Rahu, which is ruled by a demon who gets his power through fear and entrapment of women.

Priya joins forces with a group of acid attack survivors as they fight against the demon-king, Ahankar, and his tyrannical hold on them.  The second chapter of the Priya's Shakti series.
